Warm Chicken Salad Sandwich
This sandwich was incredible. I've never had a warm chicken salad but it tasted fresh and delicious. Each topping and the choice of bread were the perfect combination for this sandwich. I'll be thinking about it for weeks!
Crispy Brussels
The Brussels sprouts were perfectly seasoned and served
Chicken Piccata
Exactly what I was craving! Absolutely delicious.
Green Goddess Caesar Salad
Fresh and delicious! Great dressing
Hummus and Lamb
Mixed up the lamb and the hummus altogether it was great!!
Cheeseburger
If culinary perfection had a flavor, it would taste exactly like this cheeseburger. From the first bite, it's obvious this isn't your average burger---it's a masterpiece of flavor, texture, and sheer decadence. The patty, a rich blend of house-ground short rib and pork belly, is a juicy, savory revelation. It's luxuriously tender with just the right amount of fatty richness from the pork belly, seared to a perfect crust that locks in every ounce of flavor. The American cheese melts into the meat like silk, adding creaminess that ties everything together. The dill pickles bring a sharp contrast that slices cleanly through the richness, while the red onion offers a crisp bite that brightens the profile without overpowering. But the real stroke of genius? The grilled onions---soft, sweet, and caramelized to perfection, they add a smoky-sweet depth that lingers long after each bite. And then there's the garlic aioli. Luxurious, garlicky, and subtly tangy, it's the secret sauce that elevates this burger from great to unforgettable. It's not just a condiment---it's an essential player that binds every ingredient into one glorious, juicy, harmonious bite. This cheeseburger isn't just a meal---it's an experience. Bold, balanced, indulgent, and unforgettable. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on one, savor every bite. It's the kind of burger that ruins you for all others.
Crispy Brussels
My only question is why didn't brussels sprouts taste anything like this when I was a child!
Kale Salad
Fresh and really delicious!
Chicken Piccata
Award-Winning Food Review: Chicken Piccata at Social Kitchen & Bar, Birmingham, MI Tucked away on Maple Road in downtown Birmingham, Social Kitchen & Bar delivered a dining experience that still lingers on my palate. The highlight? A Chicken Piccata so sublime, it felt like the kitchen had whispered culinary secrets passed down through generations into every bite. The chicken had been masterfully pan-seared---its golden crust giving way to a tender, juicy interior that practically melted under the fork. What elevated it beyond mere excellence was the lemon-caper sauce: a silken elixir that struck the perfect chord between brightness and depth. The acidity of the lemon danced with the briny capers, creating a layered complexity that awakened each bite anew. Nestled beneath the chicken was a bed of linguine, cooked to a precise al dente, subtly infused with the same sauce, allowing the flavors to sing in harmony without overpowering. Each component had clearly been treated with care, from the warm, crusty bread that arrived moments before to the fresh herbs that added just the right lift of aroma and color to the plate. What made the dish unforgettable, however, was how it felt---like comfort elevated to elegance. It was the kind of meal that didn't just satisfy hunger but told a story of technique, balance, and love for the craft. Paired with a crisp glass of Sauvignon Blanc and surrounded by Social's inviting, neighborhood-chic ambiance, the Chicken Piccata was not just a dish. It was a moment. I left without leftovers, but with something arguably better: the memory of a dish so expertly prepared that it transformed a simple dinner into a quiet, savory triumph. Social didn't just serve me dinner---they reminded me why I write about food in the first place. If awards are given for capturing magic on a plate, then Social's Chicken Piccata---and this ode to it---deserve a standing ovation.

Such a wonderful salad so many ingredients that blend perfectly and although I'm almost always a season Doyle and vinegar girl this dressing is perfect for the salad
