Last weekend, 18 Hewett Street hosted the two day extravaganza that was Dante Fried Chicken's Weekend London Cookout.

For once, the weather was on our side so that the cocktails (Hennessey apple slushies) could be enjoyed in the sun while guests arrived. The food was incredible, starting with smoked cheese grits with shrimp, black eyed pea houmous on endive, and a hunk of corn bread with honey butter. Mains were soon to follow in the form of a huge hunk of Sock-it-to-me fried chicken with coconut spiced waffles and apricot glaze, and the ridiculously amazing Warning-Tastes-Like-Chicken tofu which almost beat the meat as star of the show. For those with room left, a chocolate cherry pie was on offer, a tasty sweet treat especially when accompanied by more of the boozy slushies.

All in all, it was a huge success and a great pleasure to have DFC back on our shores. Check the photos below and stay tuned to his site to find out when he's back in town.
