"This place isn’t for a group of picky people who order the grilled chicken no matter where they’re eating, or the kind of people who fear duck-fat fries, pork butt, obscure charcuterie, or the kinds of vegetables that haunted their childhoods (turnips). Bring people willing to get away from the basics, get a big table outside, and don’t miss the slow-cooked beef shoulder. And if anyone in your group is trying to conserve dollars, know that Salty Sow does one of the best Happy Hour food deals in town. " - adele hazan, nicolai mccrary
