Clucking Amazing Flavors: A Culinary Adventure at Izzy’s Comfort Kitchen!
Hey what’s up we’re here in Midtown in cordelane uh this is the Midtown area a lot of great new kind of restaurants and shops been popping up over the last few years a really cool area of town today we’re going to be reviewing Izzy’s Comfort kitchen this is a really uh cool location for me one of our you know one of our friends our former neighbor um.
Started the restaurant 106 great family um and uh this was their original location 106 just kind of Hit the scene it was one of the top 100 restaurants in the nation on Yelp um and then due to covid they closed down and then now they’re reopened at a new location uh and they gave this location up because it was a bit small um what we hear about.
Izes is it has really really good fried chicken a really good burger so I think I’m going to try the fried chicken today because I love fried chicken um want to see how it compares to Beverly’s Fried Chicken which has a really good fried chicken so here we go all right so it’s about a 10-minute wait which is kind of crazy because it’s only.
Two it’s like 2:00 for lunch so we kind of tried to hit it when it wasn’t busy and this was the situation when 106 was here too the weight times were crazy on Mother’s Day it was like a three-hour wait and 106 is for sure worth the wait so definitely go check them out we’ll review them at some point as well we just know that they’re really good they.
Were like one of the top 100 but anyway Izzy’s is right near Capon which was reviewed on I believe diners driveing and Dives and Kon is a really great local spot we’ll have to grab that sometime too but what they said basically was hey it’s a really small location you’ll see when we get inside they said hey we need about 10 minutes.
For our staff to catch up that was the reason they gave us um they look like there was two or three tables available is it so it was still pretty full for 2 p.m. and so now we’re just waiting they’re going to text us when the table’s ready and uh we’ll get some fried chicken.
We a couple things we’re going to be including in the channel is uh time like wait time to get seated time it takes to get the food it’s 3:10 p.m. right now so earlier in the video when I said it was after 2 I was way off it was because it only took about 10 minutes to get seated so I think we probably got here around 2:40 so um it’s 310 now we’ll let you.
Know how long the food takes to get here we ordered several things so one of her recommendations was um the cornbread on the starter menu I’ve also heard it’s really really good we got that we got the Cajun Wings off the starter menu uh they’re daily soup is a loaded baked potato so we’re going to try that and then I got the fried.
Chicken and of course Greg got a child’s burger with nothing on it basically no veggies ketchup there’s onions he added crispy onions insane all right cornbread hot Skillet this is honey sizzling uh she said the Wings have dirty bird seasoning on them and they come dry so you get to dip them looks.
Pretty good oh my gosh dude that looks so good I don’t know what that is is it like a lemon rind maybe it’s a peach do think so holy smokes bro this is absolute fire 11 out of 10 10 11 out of 10 on this one you’re going to freaking love it oh wish.
It Wing test pretty good pretty crispy so hot what na it’s going to get sticky oh man oh my gosh top tiar top tier dude not to load you up even more but your soup has arrived top tier oh my gosh bro.
Um dude I have been sleeping on Izzy’s Comfort kitchen I will be here a lot more right my God my God Greg just said my God they’re Lally even good dry sorry I’m kind of getting lost in how good it all tastes perfectly cooked crispy skim really well seasoned buffalo.
Sauce made from scratch it’s like not just I mean you can actually taste the like cayenne pepper in it like it’s earthy not just spicy not just vinegary there’s um excuse me there’s Dimension to it you can taste the Tomato you can taste the Cayenne there’s definitely.
Vinegar present there’s definitely Heat present but it’s Tangy spicy it’s really good I came here to rank the Fried Chicken this might be the best wings in town best cornbread in town that I’ve ever had Best Wings holy smokes we’re firing on all.
Freaking cylinders here okay baked potato soup here we go what the why are you the way that you are Izzy why are you this way this what it’s it’s so T is good it’s so good we got 35th best restaurant in the nation or something like that 35th best.
Restaurant in the nation it if you come to Idaho and they have this soup you’ve got to get it real bacon real grilled onions this is not a soup base this is real russet Idaho potatoes it’s dark it’s it not to gross anyone out but it’s like a potato smoothie a hot potato smoothie but it the best way possible it’s got I.
Think it probably has heavy cream in it salt pepper cheddar cheese hunks of potato uh I don’t know if it’s S I don’t I don’t know it it has a smokiness oh my gosh it is so good I’m going to not be able to walk out of here I’m going to eat all of it all of this food it took about 15 20 minutes to get.
Our appetizers I know that’s a big difference but I didn’t look at my it’s 337 right oh yeah it’s worth it oh my gosh look at this dude look at the honey that’s so good oh my gosh don’t judge me that was a mistake that was too much we’re embarrassing ourselves it’s so good I’ve been to a lot of restaurants.
And a lot of places and CDA has some pretty good ones this this oh well I think she said it she’s like it’s 35 in the nation get it’s feels like it’s 35 in the nation help me Jesus wow I gave you a littley sauce too so what is this breaded with so it’s Bob’s glutenfree Red mil flour and then.
Her seasoning and a buttermilk Dred and we have a dedicated fryer that is an entirely gluten-free chicken dinner it’s a gluten-free chicken dinner yeah and then cornbread’s gluten-free H green beans are sauteed in a lemon basil aoli and it’s tossed in a sweet Heat this is hot I can feel the heat coming off off this.
Drum yep that’s a mistake that’s going to be a mistake I’m going to wait take a fried this oh my God the fries are fire was that peach barbecue sauce oh my God I only have two kinds of fries I like this kind which is like they’re not too crispy they’re not too underdone.
They’re almost like Sho string they’re CL it’s the smallest cut that’s not a Sho string fry really salty so good did you show those freaking fries did show your fries and then the other kind of fry I like is like a proper steak fry I do like a proper steak fry um dude these are phenomenal I’m getting.
Ready I’m so nervous cuz it looks so hot but I’m going to try it the chicken is cooked really really well okay the meat is cooked really really well I don’t know if the breading is my personal favorite right now I would still favor Beverly’s Fried Chicken over this.
Yeah yeah 100% I’m going to wait for it to cool down a little bit I’m going try it again cuz normally I prefer a little bit more golden brown this is a little blanched also I’m really sure sure why it’s so dotted you know so like bumpy let’s just try that in yep it’s not my flavor so they looks.
Like they dredge it Bob’s rad meal flour gluten-free yeah it is um got like a sweet heat barbecue sauce looks like it it’s on the inside of the breading I’m a little bit of a purist I think this isn’t my jam but I really like everything else but I could see how this would be people’s jams Burger review Burger how’s.
The burger top tier that’s good Greg says Burger is top chair not to be Keith Le about it but for me I can taste I wouldn’t have been able to say oh this is gluten-free but I can taste it’s like there’s something nonstandard about it again can toally see how a gluten-free person be like I haven’t had.
Fried chicken in a million years this would probably be great but yeah I just can’t get past it for me so I’m gonna leave this on my plate like this would be ironically still better than some of the Fried Chicken I’ve had sort of like Kentucky Fried Chicken is the fast food standard right and that’s pretty low I would give Kentucky Fried Chicken like a.
Four um Fried Chicken scale and I still eat it from time to time like if it’s available um where you know at people’s house and they ordered or whatever and you know it’s all cafeteria style food but I’ll still eat it this is a few points above that for me mostly because excuse me most because the meat is cooked so well meat tastes great if.
It’s between cuz I also had the wings right before this and the wings are 11s out of 10 this is about a six for me for me cornbread 11 out of 10 wings 11 out of 10 those fries 11 out of 10 um the soup 9 out of 10 six out of 10 so I’m eating a lot of cornbread but I’m literally so full right now uh I can.
Tell that Izzy’s is going to be a place I want to come back to and try more things because you just sort of tell when like three or four of the items are really well done and again be interested to see what the chef’s idea behind this was maybe maybe she’s glutenfree um they said the name she she.
Told us her name but maybe she’s gluten-free and as far as gluten-free fried chicken goes this is probably an 11 that’s my bet but I eat regular Fried Chicken those wings and that cornbread would bring me back at least I I could come here like one time a week to get those two items um wings and Cornbread is a great.
Combo too those fries phenomenal um the sauces are really good the like they make a lot of the sauces from scratch they’re really really phenomenal L here didn’t like wasn’t my thing um so that being said I scale of 1 to 10 I would put Izzy in CDA at a 9.2 believe that’s the highest rating I.
Will give cuz I kind of already have a I’ve got a notebook filled with online reviews that no one sees but me but that’s why we’re making videos about it so well done Izzy’s looking forward to coming here more often and bringing people with me uh I think if you’re visiting CDA you should definitely make this one of your stops you’re – free get.
The Fried Chicken if you’re not maybe Adventure out and some of the other items I can’t wait to come back and review more items but as it sits right now Greg don’t at me best cornbread in CDA y I’ve had three or four cornbread here Wings I’ve had wings from every place in this town best you agree Greg agrees um fries I’ve had almost every.
Fry Basket possible um I like the buoy fries quite a bit these are better thank you so much izes can’t wait to see you again soon bye-bye
