Kimchi frites at Social Southern Table and Bar

Kimchi is a traditionally a spicy pickled cabbage side dish that also happens to be the national dish of Korea. Locally, kimchi can be found at Asian markets or specialty grocery stores. The addition of the kimchi to the frites at Social, along with all the other profiles, create a taste of umami and palate pleasing flavors - consider this dish to be if greasy cheese fries had a mature older brother.

Other new dishes at Social to give a try are the Social Caesar salad, the smoked chicken salad and corned beef sandwiches and the local roasted quail. As for new cocktails, IND Eats toasted the anniversary celebration with the Mimosa Gone Right.
