Experience the Best Southern Food Right at Wishbone Scratch Kitchen

It has been said that Southern cooking warms the heart and soothes the soul. Southerners are known for their keen sense of hospitality, unique history, culture, customs, sayings, and iconic FOOD! 

The dishes have become famous because it is said they reflect the love of the region. The staples such as fried chicken and fried green tomatoes are comforting, containing many layers of flavors, and ingredients. Southern dishes are rarely rushed and the cooking process tends to lock in the flavors and juices. Outsiders often travel down south just for the food! Luckily at Wishbone Scratch Kitchen, you can experience the flavors from the South right in our own backyard in Duncan. Here are some favorite menu items and the history. 

Chicken and Waffles

It sounds like an odd combination but if you’ve never tried chicken and waffles you are seriously missing out. The exact origins of this dish are unknown but theories exist and date back to the early 1800s where the dish was a delicacy among American families down south. 

Chicken and waffles’ popularity has ebbed and flowed but has regained momentum as a popular brunch dish and for good reason. The delicious sweet/savory combination is like no other, and at Wishbone Scratch Kitchen there is no exception, the sweet buttermilk waffle is topped with our delicious chicken tenders, hot honey, maple syrup, and honey butter. We promise you’ll be craving it beyond 11a.m. and not just on Sundays! 

Fried Green Tomatoes

You might have first heard about fried green tomatoes from the 1991 movie based on a novel by Fannie Flagg set in an Alabama cafe. This dish first appeared in the early 19th century and there is controversy surrounding its ties to the south. 

No matter where it originally came from, we’d like to hug whoever created it. The combination of a fried cornmeal-dusted firm green tomato is like no other. Served with our bbq buttermilk dressing our fried green tomatoes will enrapture and charm you like the hospitality you’ll find down south.
