Heard Dat Kitchen will be serving their signature dish “Bourbon Street Love,” consisting of fried boneless thighs served over macaroni and cheese and topped with a crawfish “crawdat” cream sauce. They will also offer “skeesh” strips, fried chicken strips tossed in a housemade sweet and spicy sauce. The Heard family is accustomed to working quickly and efficiently, exemplified by the two clocks in their kitchen set 15 minutes apart. One tells the time, while the other serves as a reminder for the cook to promptly complete the order.
According to Jeffery Heard Sr., timing and precision are crucial when it comes to frying chicken. Overfrying will result in dry meat, so even a minute or two can make a difference. Sauces are added just before serving to maintain the chicken’s crispiness. Heard, recognizing the importance of presentation, takes care to plate the food properly, even when it’s packed in takeout containers.
