Ride or Fry: The Dante Fried Chicken Experience

About

Published by Sterling Epicure (Gordon Ramsey, Bompas & Parr, PDT), Ride or Fry: The Dante Fried Chicken Experience is the three-years-in-the-making debut book from Los Angeles-based chef, Dante Gonzales aka Dante Fried Chicken, co-authored by London-based writer Terence Teh and creatively directed by NYC studio HellaCrisis. The cookbook explores Dante's ‘celebratory food' philosophy that delves into over 100 of his signature dishes and his unorthodox background as a 13-year-old runaway from South Central, LA who worked his way up through the restaurant industry to opening an award-wining pop-up food truck and international Ride or Fry cook ups, bringing together food, music and art. A book that is as much about cultural anthropology as it is fire, folklore and fried chicken. To celebrate the launch of Ride or Fry: The Dante Fried Chicken Experience, DFC creative directors - Ariel Roman, Omar Almufti and Yego Moravia of the Brooklyn studio HellaCrisis, have created an installation and print exhibition that will bring the Ride or Fry experience to life on Thursday 4th April at 18 Hewett Street! The exhibition launch will also feature book readings from Dante, and the afterparty will be hosted by long time DFC collaborators Earnest Endeavours and Protein.
