The gang has got a lot to say. But first, banging drinks and banger burgers are in order.

Kried runs out of JP Nagar, built around fried chicken burgers and a food-truck café you sit outside of, under trees, at proper tables. It is the kind of place that does one thing at volume and does it properly, which is the only sane way to run a burger operation.

Local Ferment Co is now pouring there.

Why fried food and kombucha get (surprsingly) along

This pairing does more work than it gets credit for. Fried food coats your palate, that is most of the pleasure, and also the reason the fourth bite is never as good as the first. What resets it is acidity and carbonation, which is exactly the pair of things a live kombucha brings.A tart, lightly fizzy ferment cuts straight through and hands your palate back between bites.

Go for the burger. Stay for what you wash it down with.
