New Orleans fried hot honey chicken served over bubble waffle with pickled red onion

In Louisiana, we only kiss frogs before tossing them in a tasty batter and frying them golden brown. It would be overly simplistic to say these wings “taste like chicken” because they don’t; the flavors are entirely different because frogs have soul and chickens can’t dance.

Grilled shrimp, seasoned street corn, pickled carrots, onions, and jalapeno, served over a bed of crisp Romaine lettuce with cojita cheese and finished with Cajun ranch dressing. You don’t always have to punish your body with decadent meals; sometimes, lighter fare is just what you need to keep the party going.
