Billy Allin sells Bread & Butterfly to Heritage Supper Club team

Demetrius Brown and Brandon Blanchard of Heritage Supper Club began a residency at Bread & Butterfly earlier this year, hosting their Afro-American pop-up in the evenings. After their first event, owner Billy Allin offered to sell the restaurant to them. “We appreciate and respect what he’s built and will keep breakfast and lunch as close to what he’s built as possible,” Blanchard says. “Our plan is to spend the first 30 days learning from the staff how this restaurant operates. We want to sit down and get to know our people.”

Bread & Butterfly Atlanta

Review: Bread & Butterfly is a sunny slice of Paris in Inman Park

braising

Technique: Cakes & Ale’s Billy Allin on open-top braising

For an easy dinner at home, Billy Allin suggests open-top braising, a slow-cooking method that yields super-tender meat with minimal kitchen effort. For poultry, Allin prefers the “crocodile” method, in which he places chicken (or duck) pieces in a pan and partially covers them with liquid, leaving the tops exposed “like the backs of crocodiles floating in the water.”
