Unique Cooking Techniques

It is apparent that Southern Fire Kitchen utilizes unique methods of cooking to provide a mix of tradition, modern creation and soul as this experience guarantees you get nothing less. First off is slow-smoking, in which a particular cut of meat (often pork) rests over hickory or pecan wood for hours and develops the type of deep flavor profile long associated with Southern barbecue. Frying is another classic method that can be used on most if not all basic dishes, like fried chicken which gives an external cruncy and golden layer with soft interior meat.

The Southern Fire Kitchen also will honor the cast-iron cookery that plays into everything from cornbread with a crispy edge to sturdy stews. Techniques — think braising, pickling and more or less all things with a good brine — often add some tart, pungent flair to vegetables or meats.

Classic Southern Fried Chicken

The southern cuisine has a culinary history that has secured it self in its place for ages and no other dish can relate to this tradition better than the Classic Southern Fried Chicken. It is this iconic dish, a foundation of the Southern Fire Kitchen Experience that delivers in flavors and textures the history of its heritage.

The crown jewel of Southern fried chicken is, of course, that delectably crispy crust created from a carefully honed process using specific seasonings and marinades combined with frying. The chicken is first soaked in buttermilk, which helps to tenderize the meat and lends it a slight tanginess. Each piece is dredged in a seasoned flour mixture (which always includes paprika, garlic powder and black pepper among other spices… but everyone has their own secret recipe) before being deep fried to the perfect golden crunch.

It is this contrast between the moist, delicious inside and crispy, well-seasoned coating that takes them over the top. Bedded over classics like buttery mashed potatoes, and collards or devoured alone on a crispy biscuit; buttermilk fried chook is an edible Homestead Act of the South – it waves its warm blanket of comfort upon you as if beckoning from Brandon McInernying arms (culinary shout out).

Shrimp and Grits

If there ever was one, Shrimp and Grits is the quintessential Southern food that embodies everything we love about our soulful cuisine in every bite. Coming from the coastal regions of Lowcountry, this delight knits perfectly soft texture — damn right creamy and comforting stone-ground grits — with irresistibly savory succulence courtesy fresh shrimp. Grits are typically cooked low and slow, transcending over an extended period allowing them to become buttery & creamy in form. The shrimp is usually just quickly sautéd in several other ingredients, particularly garlic, onions both fresh and powdered (as powder counts as a separate measurement from some forms of whole), bell pepper including chili for bite or smokiness I guess (;)) then bacon – creating easeful layers light yet piquant flavor. Others may be jazzed up with a squeeze of lemon juice, splash of hot sauce or minced herbs like parsley and chives for depth and interest. Combined, Shrimp and Grits is more than a dish; it represents the Southern culinary heritage centered around substantial delicious food meant to nourish your heart.

BBQ Brisket and Ribs

Central to the Southern Fire Kitchen experience are traditional BBQ brisket and ribs, two of most classic staples that personify the South’s diverse food culture. Halal beef brisket and pork ribs rubbed with a secret blend of Southern spices sit overnight before being placed on the smoker. The secret to these delicious cuts of meat is slow-cooking them over hickory or mesquite wood for hours, which draws out the natural juice as it combines with smoke-kissed flavor creating succulent tenderness that melts in your mouth.

The brisket, melting to a velvety consistency as it sweats off all that marbled fat and the ribs — blackened around the sides but somehow still retaining an aura of delicate tenderness at their interior edges. Serve them with Southern sides–slaw, potato salad or cornbread–and you´ve got a meal that really embodies the essence of good ol’ comfort food. A reminder that eating out is an experience, not only fuel for the body and each mouthful a moment of true tradition food craft mixed with soul-fired flavors.

Southern Style Peach Cobbler

This Classic Southern Style Peach Cobbler is a genuine dessert that really sums up what it’s like down here – comforting, welcoming and simply delightful. The classic, generally hot-from-the-oven dish consists of the glistening slices or halves in a syrup made to taste sweeter than sugar with butter and baked between layers of sweet dough. The sugar, cinnamon and a smattering of nutmeg to the peaches — fresh or canned — make for a fragrant warm weather Southern filling. Underneath, a crust of biscuit- or pastrylike dough is crisp from a sprinkling of sugar and makes the perfect textural counterpoint for what lies below. Southern Style Peach Cobbler is traditionally served with fresh whipped cream or a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream — adding an extra creamy element to this rich and sweet dessert. This is truly a flavorful Southern dish you might see at any gathering or on the family dinner table.
