Belgian Fried Chicken Mondays
First Monday of the Month
It’s the First Monday of most every month —Belgian Fried Chicken Night! You might not find fried chicken on many menus on Brussels, but you might wish that you did after tasting this! It’s not historically a staple of the Belgian culinary scene, but we thought we’d change that. The preparation changes from month to month. March’s BFC is:
Black garlic marinated thighs w/tahini-brown sugar waffle, St. Bernardus-braised collards & black eyed peas, lentil squash purée, broccoli taboulli and pickled aji dolce peppers. Paired with St Bernardus.Dinnertime starts at 5pm on Mondays. The dish is $18, add a St. Bernardus perfect pairing for a special $5.
