"“Last year, two of the chefs behind Broke Ass Cooks launched Michoz, a pop-up that draws on the chefs’ Peruvian and Eritrean backgrounds. They used to offer a pollo a la brasa meal with perfectly-grilled, tender chicken I could pull apart with my fork, and sides of fried yucca sticks, aji amarillo sauce, and a crunchy onion and pepper salad. I’ve been hard-pressed to find better chicken since. And if it was any indication of the magical things this duo is doing with their dishes, I have high hopes for their new tray of chicken stew, red lentils, stewed collard greens, and injera. Every weekend, you can pick up food at The Hidden Cafe in Berkeley, or order for delivery if you live in the East Bay. Pre-orders typically start a week in advance, and are usually announced on Instagram.” - JC" - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway
