1. Former pop-up burger joint Illegal Food is about to become a permanent burger joint as
of tonight in VaHi.
It’s bright, it’s airy, it’s got a taxidermied boar head and some photos of the chef’s grandfather—who was a four-time Golden Glove champion, pig roaster and all-around tough/wonderful guy—on the wall. Moving on...
After receiving half a cow each week (they receive half a cow each week) and breaking it down, they’ll make you many dry-aged-beef burgers. With pimento cheese. With bourbon bacon jam. With everything. Also: sriracha-honey fries and picklebacks. The picklebacks are important.
Or whatever the opposite of “not great” is.
2. And now, Ford Fry’s new spot, Superica. It hopes to open next week at Krog Street Market.
There’s tacos and margaritas and a little preview party that you can go to tomorrow night to eat tacos and drink margaritas.
Your move: the patio, obviously. Or the very long, very tequila-forward bar. Or a table in the massive dining room with painted longhorn skulls, an actual stuffed longhorn and stacked concrete blocks separating you and your accomplices from the open kitchen. It’s fancy concrete, though.
Oh, and the occasional live band will also be playing in that dining room.
Point is: good room.
