"Loro is the brainchild of two Austin favorite institutions—Franklin Barbecue and Uchi—resulting in an Asian/Texas smokehouse that provides some unique fusion flavors in a beautiful space. Their fried chicken sandwich, that’s only served during the day, is exceptional: smoked chicken is thickly battered more along the lines of fish and chips, and then fried and covered with a smoked hot sauce. For extra texture and flavor, there’s a citrus cabbage slaw and a full-on layer of pickles. " - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
