Las Brasas Gets Creative Lovin'

Decatur Metro | | 8:28 am

Over on Creative Loafing, Jennifer Zyman (of Blissful Glutton fame) gives a loving shout out to Decatur’s Las Brasas.

This chicken shack may be tiny and have limited seating, but it has big heart. It is owned and operated by a family originally from Lima, Peru, that is as friendly as it is skilled in the kitchen. The chicken is slow-cooked with charcoal that imparts a delightfully smoky flavor to the already flavorful deep brown skin and moist flesh.

I’m shamed to admit that we’ve yet to try out this little chicken hut next to Feast on E Howard, even though I keep hearing such great things.  And its not like there aren’t countless opportunities on evenings when we don’t want to cook!

    It’s great and the owners are lovely. But go early – we often get there late and they don’t have enough chicken left!

    Jennifer is right as always. I regret not patronizing them frequently enough. They are indeed amazing folks. When I was laid off last year, the owner offered me a job.
