Bay Area Eats💫 Mind-Blowing Fried Chicken

👀 Prelude totally won me over! 🎉 Every dish was packed with complex flavors, beautifully plated, and just chef’s kiss perfection. The star? Their FRIED CHICKEN—OMG, SO GOOD! 🍗🔥 The servers were sweet, funny, and attentive, and the cozy, homey vibe made it a 10/10 experience. It’s been a while since a restaurant checked all the boxes for me! 💫 Prelude〰️ 🥐 Ham Sandwich: Cured ham + fruit jam (cuts the richness) on toasted bread. The first bite had me grinning like an idiot—such a happy starter! 😋🍞 🦪 Nashville Hot Oysters: Flavor-packed, though the sauce kinda drowned out the oyster itself. Still delicious, with a lil’ kick of heat! 🌶️🦪 🥚 Deviled Egg: Solid, not mind-blowing, but the fried chicken skin crumbs on top added a fun crunch! 🥚✨ 🍗 Stuffed Chicken Wings: HOLY GRAIL. 🤯 INSANELY GOOD! Stuffed with seasoned chicken thigh + dirty rice (you’d never guess it’s rice, lol). The crispy coating tasted like childhood chip snacks—MUST ORDER! 🎯🍗 🥟 Smoked Catfish Dumplings: Felt more like fish balls than dumplings—fluffy, with a mix of fish and rice flour. The broth + fried bread combo was sinfully tasty. Worth a try! 🍲🔥 🥩 A4 Wagyu Ribeye: Perfect marbling, melt-in-your-mouth, but the portion was huge—got a bit rich. Pair with red wine! 🍷🥩 🐟 Gulf Red Snapper: Fish wrapped around shrimp—honestly, I liked the shrimp inside more than the fish itself. 🦐😅 🥳 SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS PLACE! It’s rare for me to be wowed like this, especially by carbs-heavy dishes—great for carb-skippers like me! 🙌💖 #BayAreaEats #BayAreaFoodie #SFBayArea #SanFranciscoEats #SFExplorer #BayAreaLife #WeekendVibes #DateNightSpot #SanFrancisco #FineDining
