CLOSED ******EXPECTED TO RELOCATE****** The Larder +The Delta is a small casual restaurant in down town Phoenix that serves a small menu of high quality modern southern inspired foods and cocktails. About half the interior is an open shiny kitchen with bar seats in front of it.

In front of the bar is a row of tables with chairs on one side and church benches on other side and a high top table on the end.  There is lots of natural sunlight here during the day.

From my seat I could watch the kitchen action. I saw one of the cooks cooking with a large chicken leg with attached feet. Now that is what I’d call from Farm to Table.

We decide to split a salad and sandwich. We start with the Grilled Avocado Radish Salad with added Chicken.

The salad is a mix of fresh watercress, some fennel, very thin radishes, oranges, and peanut vinaigrette. We added chicken breast and what stood out about this salad was HOW GREAT THE CHICKEN WAS……….WOW this is really great chicken. It so flavorful and moist with a tender texture. Usually a chicken add on isn’t this memorable ……The salad was good but I keep thinking about the chicken here………

I was torn between a few sandwiches but I had to go with the K.F.C Sandwich (a fried chicken sandwich that was offered mild or hot….we went with hot) topped with Granny Apple Slaw, B&B pickles, hot sauce aioli on a potato bun with fries.

OMG! I thought the salad chicken was really great…….THIS CHICKEN IS FORKING PHENOMENAL! The WHOLE SANDWICH is SUPERB!  This is a KENTUCKY  FORKING CRACK SANDWICH!………The sandwich looks messy but it isn’t…YEAH! ………Even split in half it held together. They gave us a really LARGE INCREDIBLY seasoned moist and flavorful thigh. Each half contained a lot of chicken. This is not supermarket market chicken…..It’s Forking Great Chicken…..so scrumptious……..this is super awesome chicken that’s also coated in a delicious crunchy coating. Not sure what it is but the coating is like the texture of like crunchy chicken from a back east Chinese Restaurant I used to go to but the flavor of the coating seems like Cayenne, Onion, and other flavors but sort of caramelized……and this is all around that Crazy Good moist flavorful chicken…..It’s a magnificent Crunch BOMB of Goodness. The toppings were all delicious and just made everything POP!  It’s awesome biting threw a fluffy potato bun biting hot sauce aioli, thick B&B pickles cut threw…..then slaw mellows the Crisp, but melt in your mouth spicy/delicious  chicken. Even the potato bun is perfect and not too much bread….It’s just the right size. The fries are really flavorful with nice yummy moist but fluffy interiors…….This gotta be among the best Chicken Sandwiches in Metro Phoenix. I don’t think I ever had Chicken off the bone that was this delicious or flavorful before. This chicken has more flavor than most on the bone chicken.

Everything was a home run so we felt like we had to try a dessert.

We went with the M&M Cookie Cereal Milk Ice Cream Sandwich. (the ice cream flavor is Captain Crunch Cereal Milk Flavored)

For me the best part of this Ice Cream Sandwich is the House Made Ice Cream…..It has a unique cereal milk taste and a good texture…..Cookies are a bit dense and sort of cookie dough like….But did I tell you how great the chicken was…………
