Review of Mushroom Fried Chick’n at Modern Love by kyu

SO good! This wasn’t my order, but both of the entrees we chose were so delicious that we ended up trading our bowls back and forth. #veganrestaurant This dish is described on the menu as “finger lickin' local oyster mushrooms, mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, [and] chives.” The #mushroom was fried to #sweetdreamsaremadeofgrease perfection— the batter was fantastically crispy and more #crunchy than any I’ve ever experienced before, and it made the most satisfying crackling sound as I cut into it. It sat atop a bed of creamy, pillowy mashed potatoes. The umami-rich #mushroomlover gravy really tied the whole dish together — it was packed with an impossibly generous helping of mushrooms! — and the purple coleslaw contributed freshness and color.

It was $21 and so worth it; the portions were massive. Even shared between two people, I had enough left over for a light dinner the next evening. I’m so glad I got to try Modern Love — this is incredible, next-level (omni-approved) vegan comfort food that’s not to be missed if you’re visiting #omaha!
