The restaurant is housed in a restored 1920s bungalow, where diners order at the counter before finding a seat inside the house or on the patio.
The concept is personal for Weissman, whose culinary career began in restaurants including Odd Duck and Uchiko before he became a global food-media phenomenon with millions of followers. Known for his from-scratch cooking videos, Weissman named the restaurant after his parents, who helped inspire his love of cooking.
At a hosted family and friends preview, the fried chicken sandwich arrived steaming hot, with pickles tucked into a butter-toasted bun and the restaurant’s signature B&L Sauce drizzled on top. Diners can also order it dipped in the house sauce, which comes highly recommended.
This is one of the better chicken sandwiches I’ve had in Austin.
The fries are another must-order. They’re crispy, salty and particularly good when dipped in the house-made ranch, which gets an upgrade from finely chopped aromatics.
The menu is relatively simple, leaving little room for a bad order. Bite-sized chicken thighs come breaded and served with B&L Sauce, while the Honey Dipped Fried Chicken offers a sweeter, spicier option glazed with Texas wildflower honey, gochujang, Fresno chile and garlic.
There are also chicken nuggets, house-made sauces and, coming soon, rotating soft-serve ice cream. The restaurant’s beverage program includes local Texas beers and champagne.
