News Red-hot chicken
Posted by Scott Freeman on Tue, May 8, 2007 at 5:11 PM
It's time to make a pilgrimage to Watershed and have some of that mouthwatering fried chicken. Especially now that Scott Peacock has himself a James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Southeast. It's a well-deserved accolade for one of Atlanta's premier chefs.
Congratulations to Arnaud Berthelier, chef at the Dining Room in the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead, who also was a finalist for Best Chef in the Southeast.
Interestingly, however, in the AJC's account of the awards there's nary a word that another Atlantan was a finalist for the prestigious award. CL's own dining critic Besha Rodell was a finalist for Newspaper Feature Writing.

I have been. Numerous times. I am an urban/urbane southerner, right? I like the Yuppie-fied collards, cornbread and fried chicken as much as the next person, but come on....they are just that: fried chicken, cornbread and collards. What did Mammy say?"Mule in horse harness." You can raise the bar on that stuff, but after a while that bar is as high as it is ever gonna go. Besides, last time I was there the service was forever-long and the cornbread was a rubbery sugared horror. What I am enjoying is Besha Rodell's writing about food. though. Makes even someone like me, who's perfectly content with jar spaghetti sauce, want to eat more imaginatively. Congrats Besha!!!
