Review of SUCCOTASH

I had a great experience here. This is a restaurant by Edward Lee, who has been on Top Chef and written some great cookbooks, and is known for a unique (and tasty!) Korean/Southern style.

Because we were a group of over 7, they initially said we had to order a family-style meal, per the policy on their menu. When they learned I had celiac, they allowed us to order a la carte so I could have more options.

It’s absolutely false that there is no notice of a shared fryer. It’s right on the menu. (If I have one complaint about the menu, it’s that it was hard to find on their site.)

It’s also false that there are very few gf choices. Here’s what you can get on the latest dinner menu if you have celiac: peel ‘n’ eat shrimp; oysters on the half shell; deviled eggs; collards, kimchi & country ham; bourbon-pickled jalapeños; succotash curry; iceberg wedge salad; shrimp ‘n’ grits; roasted salmon; today’s catch; dry aged bone-in ribeye; Delta rice bowl.

If that’s not enough food for you, may God have mercy on your soul.

Everything I ate was fantastic. Highlights were both kinds of shrimp, the wedge salad, the oysters, and the bacon deviled egg.

Maybe three months ago the menu didn’t mention a shared fryer, but I’m really tired of the number of misleading and false claims allowed to stay up on this app. There is no need to scaremonger. This restaurant is doing their best to do it right. I’m sorry the fryer isn’t shared but it’s not an uncommon thing, and you’re not exactly going to starve here.
