116 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 8.17 OVERVIEW Chik'n & Mi 2319 Brownsboro Road THE MEAL: Sake Bonito fries Fried cauliflower Asian slaw Cherry ginger salad Pork belly steam buns Calamari Egg rolls Kimchee mac 'n' cheese Spicy garlic miso ramen Five-piece chicken mix (in sweet soy and hot fire sauces) THE PARTY: Suki Anderson, art director Mary Chellis Austin, managing editor Jenny Kiefer, associate writer Josh Moss, editor Mickie Winters, photographer "It's an interesting combination of chicken shack and high- end Vietnamese, even in the decor." — SA "Readers, if you sit on the bench, you have to use one of the pillows for your back." — JM "I'm really trying to figure out this '80s playlist." — MCA "I'm digging this music, dude. But I'm not sure how Usher fits in." — JM "The steam is making the food move. It's alive, I think." — SA "Those are the bonito fries? What's bonito?" — JM "Fish. They're so light that the steam actually moves them." — server "The calamari's got a sweetness to it — or maybe that's the sauce?" — MCA "I think it's in the calamari. I don't think you even need the sauce." — SA "Normally I don't like calamari. This isn't as chewy." — JK "That calamari is fantastic. I've never had it with all the little tentacles on it. Like, this has legs on it." — JM "Did you try that cauliflower? That will make you a vegetarian. That's unreal." — JM "Whoa, that steam bun is so soft." — MW "It's like squishy, right? Fluffy." — SA "It's like eating a cloud." — JK "Chik'n & Mi is different than Joella's or Royals, which is more in-your-face hot on the first bite. The heat on this sneaks up on you." — JM "The ramen is kicking my ass. I'm starting to sweat. You just want to blow your nose. Like, the tip of my tongue burns and the back of my throat burns." — SA "I really want to know the secret to this salad. You don't expect ginger and orange zest." — MCA "Everything has a little bit of a surprise citrus taste to it." — JM "This is cold sake. It's unfiltered and it kind of tastes like anise." — SA "It's chalky." — MCA "It's like wine, and then someone poured milk into it." — MW "This is what I imagine breast milk tastes like." — MCA
