"Minnie Bell’s makes the crispiest, juiciest fried chicken in the city. Each piece tastes like it took a romp through a rosemary patch before getting its golden-brown crust. But don’t let it distract you from the rest of the menu. This soul food spot’s mac and cheese with a blistered crust of parmesan, fontina, and cheddar could win the next mayoral race. Group walk-ins are easy and the atmosphere is casual—but if you want to add a little flare, there’s also champagne." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
