Fried Chicken and Champagne: A Romp Through the Kitchen at Pomegranate Bistro

2011 IACP Award Winning Cookbook

Fried Chicken & Champagne represents Chef Lisa Dupar's life in the kitchen. From sandbox cakes to clambakes from farm-fresh eggs to freshly felled venison, Lisa's inspiration is a mix of the hometown and the haute. In the end Lisa is simply a Southern gal who can't resist a glass of champagne with a plate of fried chicken.

Dupar, who is as well known nationally for her unparalleled reputation as a caterer, as she is as a top restaurateur of the Pomegranate Bistro and POMBAR in Redmond, Washington.
