*****UPDATE CLOSED******EXPECTED TO RELOCATE******The Larder and The Delta is a small sort of Unique Southern Cuisine laced with Arizonian ingredients in a new way kind of Restaurant located in Downtown Phoenix Arizona.
They offer patio seating.
They offer seating at the bar.
They also offer regular indoor seating.
On my most recent visit we found out that they use QR code menus so you do need a cell phone to dine here.
The menu does change every so often but some of the things you might find are-
The hoping John – This one is different and is vegetarian and was made with Sea Island field peas, Carolina gold rice, and herbs. It’s was full of so many flavors and textures.
The cauliflower – smoked blue cheese, celery, Cutino’s Hot Sauce. As far as I know this dish has been on the menu consistently. It’s also vegetarian and is sort of like vegetarian hot wings.
On a recent Restaurant Week Menu they offered very UNIQUE beignets with black garlic-peanut-romesco sauce.
I only got the eat the K.F.C. Sandwich once but it was truly the FORKING BEST Hot Chicken sandwich that I’ve tried anywhere. What does K.F.C. stand for?…..Kentucky FORKING Crack Sandwich? What I still remember most is that this sandwich had the very best delicious chicken flavor…… Also all the other flavors from the slaw, thick pickles and the right sized bun just went magically together…..It was different……… This sandwich was not the spiciest….but was the most delicious…..This one was on the menu years ago for lunch. I JUST FOUND OUT that this sandwich….(I’m guessing smaller in size………Hopefully the same recipe?)….Is on the Happy Hour Menu…….. (Wed-Fri 4pm-5:30).
Recently I enjoyed the Ethiopian Fried Chicken Restaurant Week Special.
This was delicious and crispy with a lot of flavors and heat….I was surprised that this was or seemed spicier than the hot chicken sandwich….Or maybe it just seemed hotter without a bun, slaw, and pickles to blend with? It was delicious and came with a vegetable-ish relish called chakalaka. The chakalaka had some of the similar beans from the hopping Johns but was spicy.
Sometimes a chicken dinner at The Larder and The Delta might look like this with chicken toe nails in the air.
Shrimp and grits are next.
Below was a recent restaurant week special.
Possibly due to supply issues the Restaurant Week Pork Special was changed up some. It was advertised as a smoked and braised pork collar. Here it was a slow roast Niman Ranch pork loin with hominy and corn giardiniera. My husband thought that the pork had a similar taste to ham.
Something seafood is usually on the menu.
If I remember correctly this was an Ethiopian spiced snapper. The flavors on this one really were BANGING.
Excuse the bad photo above because you can’t see the BBQ meatloaf.
Desserts are casual here.
Cola Cake
M&M Cookie with Capt’n Crunch Ice Cream
Apple cobbler
That was a Little Taste of The Larder and The Delta. Give it a try!
