"Move over, Sweetie Pie's. There's a new soul food restaurant in South City, and it has chops.
"Depending on the day, The Choice features fried chicken, smothered chicken, smoked turkey legs, candied yams, yolky potato salad, and an eggy bread pudding that tastes like a dreamy French toast.
" The fried chicken is marinated in a batter of egg, powdered milk, butter, salt, and white pepper, rested overnight, and then floured and fried. It's some juicy, crispy, damn good fried chicken. The "smothered chicken (below left)," a Southern delight, is first fried then baked with gravy, hot chicken broth, onions, and 'shrooms. The texture is a sensual blend of crispy and moist. Candied yams (below right) are sweetened with sugar, honey, maple syrup, nutmeg, and cinnamon for an addictive taste. “The yams are baked, not cooked on the skillet, to avoid mushiness,” says The Choice's Lillian Coger, who previously owned Something Special by Lillian in the Central West End." ~ read entire article at St. Louis Magazine
