San Antonio chef Nicola Blaque's Freight Fried Chicken concept opening Saturday

The newest concept from San Antonio chef Nicola Blaque of The Jerk Shack fame will open this Saturday inside the Pearl Bottling Department food hall. Blaque's Freight Fried Chicken draws inspiration from Black women known as Waiter Carriers who sold food to rail passengers traveling through Gordonsville, Virginia, in the years following the Civil War, Pearl officials said. Blaque fries her chicken in a dry batter similar to the one used by the Waiter Carriers.
