Tags: French
The French influence here runs long and deep, all the way back to the Colonial era when French Hugeonots fled religious persecution and settled in Charleston. Chef/owner Fred Neuville celebrates that French-Lowcountry fusion by packing his menu with classics like coq au vin, braised lamb shank, and seared duck confit alongside hearty country fare like The Rib, a 16 oz. pecan-smoked barbecued short rib that has already become legendary. The Fat Hen serves its Johns Island neighbors well, providing quality fare at reasonable prices, and loyal Islanders have returned the favor by packing the place every night. Sunday brunch should not be missed. Chicken pot pie, duck and apple sausage gratin, and a barbecue brisket and mac and cheese open-faced sandwich are sure to make your Sunday afternoon a lazy one. —Stephanie Barna Dish (Winter 2013)
