Best Fried Thing

Here’s the secret about fried things: The same dish can go by many names. Schnitzel, Milanese, tonkatsu — all of these will get you some salty, deep-fried, pounded-out meat (as well as a nice setup for a dirty joke). This is particularly crucial at Folk, where the crispy-meat quotient is high. Think pizza-sized chicken Milanese served with flaky sea salt and zippy citrus; an Asian sandwich topped with red slaw, green-garlic mayo and habanada peppers; or a chicken parm sammy that’s deftly seasoned, expertly fried and big enough to feed four. Takeaway: If you see “fried” at Folk, do it. ASHLEY BRANTLEY
