ROOT & BONE – EAST VILLAGE – BRUNCH

October 18, 2016 9:08 pm

Root and Bone is a charming East Village eatery famous for their sweet tea brined, lemon dusted fried chicken.

It’s a pretty special fried bird, I must admit.

You have to deal with severe crowds in order to enjoy it, however. Be warned. Come for brunch, right when they open or for dinner, also right when they open. Be early or it’s your chicken-less funeral.

A half bird ($19 bucks) is enough for 1.5 hungry people if you also get an app or two. If you have two full humans (slightly more common) then might want to also get another dish, maybe the waffle and chicken sandwich?

I mean, you don’t have to. You can do whatever you want, what do I care? I don’t. I do not care what you do. Now you’ve done it, I’m in a mood. Thanks a lot, jerk.

R & B also serves what I believe might be the world’s finest deviled eggs. Not only are they perty to look at (thanks to the beet-dyed egg white) but the filling is just absolutely perfect in every way.

If you don’t order them, then consider us in a fight. Yet again.
