Shuai and Corrie shouldn't be allowed to open any more restaurants. Really, it isn't fair to the rest of the F&B world to have to compete with the GOAT.
I am so glad I waited a couple of weeks and hit up the King BBQ popup at Edmund's today. They introduced two new menu items that feel custom-made for me: chicken-fried mushroom sandwich and corn casserole. I mean, can you even?! Corrie was the sweetest of sweet and threw in a side of the mac&cheese to sample as well. And, again, not that I expected anything less, but somehow my tastebuds are still surprised with every new item I try from them.
The mushroom sandwich was massive. Absolutely gigantic. I really struggled to eat even half of it because I had to take weird half-bites since it was made for someone with a mouth significantly larger than mine. I took home the other half and it was too big for their bigger to-go container. Woops.
The mac&cheese was creamy and delicious. They crumbled CheezIts on top for a nice crunch and drizzled some hot bbq sauce on top for an added (and welcomed) kick. The corn casserole was a perfect addition to round out the meal - it had great flavor and also had a drizzle of heat without being overwhelming.
We got there right at noon and were able to bypass the crazy rush that came soon after. If you're trying to go, go early but try to get there before everyone clocks out for lunch so you can have your pick of the menu! read more
