Check out this beauty—a wooden spatula stained by making a black roux 😍😍😍 Love those little moments when the process leaves its own mark ❤️ Roux is a traditional French method for thickening soups and sauces. It’s a meticulous process—equal parts flour and oil stirred over heat for hours until richly flavored and dark in color without tasting burned. Mike made a batch for our Bien Merci Cajun pop up a couple weeks ago—roux gives gumbo it’s traditional dark color and toasted flavor 👌 #triedandtroux #sundayvibes

Here’s one of the unsung heroes of the shop menu—COLLARDS 🙌 We make ours savory and tender with a garlic vinegar kick 👊 the perfect complement to Mean Bird chicken, and if you manage to save some for the next day, pair with a buttered roll and hot sauce and you’ve got yourself lunch 👌 This one’s for you @billyjaquis ✨✨ Happy Friday!

This could be you today, just saying 🌈👌 #friedandtrue
