    The killer drink is the Burning Bush. And yeah, believe the hype—the bacon doughnuts are to die for (airier than you expect).

    Baby back ribs were a little underwhelming. Chicken wings were better. Also bacon donuts.

    The Thai shrimp with fruit is unbelievable. Sit on the patio and soak in the strange convos from your biracial neighbors.
