BOTH NIGHTS OF OUR FRIED CHICKEN AND CHAMPAGNE EVENT ARE SOLD OUT.
Please make plans to join us at the Eat It and Like It Foodie Awards this Spring.
It’s back and we are glad to say very likely better than ever.
If you judged based only on speed of sell outs In it’s first 2 years, then Eat It and Like It’s Fried Chicken and Champagne Dinner is without question our most popular event. Last year our first night sold out in 12 days. That’s pretty quickly for an event that really got minimal promotion outside of a Facebook post and one television commercial.
The premise is pretty simple. It is widely believed that the best pairings of wine for fried chicken, are bubbles. Reason being, the acids cut through the fat for perfect balance. One article I read, which you can read here, calls it the “ultimate symbiosis of grease and fat.” Now doesn’t that sound appealing?
In January 2017 we held our first Fried Chicken event downtown Savannah. Local Chef Will Herrington has a unique way of preparing fried chicken that he learned from his grandmother. It’s a 48 hour process, he says. Chicken is brined in sweet tea for 24 hours before it is moved to buttermilk for another 24. It was a smash hit, which led to last year’s record sell out. This year will be no different.
The end result is a wonderful piece of fried chicken. We’ve had multiple people say it is better than Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House in Savannah. Them’s fighting words to some people. The only way to see for yourself is to join on in February.
The next Fried Chicken and Champagne event will be Wednesday night, February 6th at Cohen’s Retreat on Skidaway Road in Savannah. A great restaurant in it’s own right, Cohen’s Retreat offers us a fantastic setting for what will be another stellar event. You can purchase tickets below.
There will be a selection of bubbles to choose from. The evening will begin with a Prosecco reception before we move on to dinner and a carefully selected set of bubbles to choose from. In the past we’ve offered Bruts, Sparkling Rosé as well as Cavas and Champagne.
Dinner will feature unlimited amounts of Chef Willi’s fried chicken plus assorted seasonal sides of his choosing. Finally, there will be a dessert table with a variety of hand made items to satisfy your sweet tooth.
