Assenheims 56

Wow. Another great find courtesy of Shop Small. Apparently this location has been around for about 4 months, but I’d never seen noticed it on my few trips down this way to go to On the Bab across the street. But I saw it on the map and when I read reviews online of the other locations, they were all amazing. I am totally sold. I got the famous grilled chicken in the large portion, which is honestly too much food but I was trying to hit my minimum spend. My box could hardly close. I asked for it with potatoes, and they were like, «and what?» because usually you order a combination of potatoes and grilled vegetables, or potatoes and salad… I then rephrased to potatoes and grilled vegetables, but I ended up with tasty seasoned rice instead. There were also some grilled onions if that counts. The chicken is pre-​prepared and sitting in a warming drawer behind the counter, so it is assembled very quickly. I can’t put my finger on what makes it so good, but it is all dark meat and so perfect. And the green sauce is what makes the dish. It’s creamy but light and not quite chimichurri but totally works. I got extra in a side container so I could dunk the chicken in while I was eating. I’m totally obsessed with this place and this has definitely earned its spot in my lunch rotation.
