Renowned chef Ashley Christensen (Poole's Downtown Diner) has another hit on her hands with Beasley's Chicken & Honey, featured fried chicken and one of the area's best weekend brunches. From
NewRaleigh.com, Aug. 16, 2011:
"Beasley
is the [Chef Ashley Christensen's] childhood nickname, chicken and
honey were two things that always went together in her household. Of
course that's only the beginning of the concept. The chicken is the
product of a high-tech process developed by Christensen in the beautiful
sky-lit tiled kitchen backing the restaurant. There are a whole batch
of Southern side dishes - heirloom tomatoes, potato salad and many more.
The bar is eclectic and brings six beers on draft, a selection of
wines, the recommended chicken accompaniment of champagne and some
special New Southern concept cocktails crafted Christensen in
collaboration with an expert mixologist. "
"The chicken
is juicy (even if you order white meat) under a crunchy, deep golden
brown batter crust. Honey adds a sweet note that, for those of us who
grew up with it, brings back fond childhood memories. The honey is
optional, but I encourage you to give it a try."
