FOOD REVIEW: Tigeorges

Ron Buckmire

November 30, 1999

Faithful readers know my Ongoing Quest For Excellent Caribbean Food West Of The Mississippi. Sadly, the reason the quest is "ongoing" because it has been spectacularly unsuccessful so far. I have discovered and favourably reviewed Joan and Sisters, a Belizean restaurant.

A while back I made it to Tigeorge's Chicken (309 North Glendale Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90028, 213-353-9994) in Echo Park. I had heard good things about this Haitian Restaurant and it did not disappoint.

I had the lunch special (available between 11am and 3pm), the 1/4 Chicken with Rice and Beans and Salad for $6.75 (pictured above to the left). In addition I could not resist an appetizer of Sweet Plantains for $2.50 (pictured above, to the right).

The food was amazing. The chicken was tender and juicy with a just-right crispy skin. The salad (and I hate salad) was actually pretty yummy, with a piquant dressing which complemented the comforting rice and peas. Then there was the sweet plantains which were perfectly fried to a diabetic-shock level of sweetness (as they should be!) Needless to say, I cleaned my plate, but brought some plantains home for the other half.
