LAist: Miss Peaches Rolls Out the Barbecue

June 10, 2008

Miss Peaches Rolls Out the Barbecue

Miss Peaches on Lankershim has just premiered a new weekend barbecue menu for the summer. This cozy little cafe, formerly known as Angelina's, brings a welcome breath of southern comfort to NoHo. Famous for their fried chicken, Miss Peaches usually only pulls out the barbecue for its popular catering department. But this summer you can get your fix while relaxing at a table surrounded by their white picket fence.

Miss Peaches
5643 Lankershim Blvd. North Hollywood, Ca 91601 (818) 760-4924
Mon - Wed 12:00 noon - 8:00pm Thurs - Fri 12:00 noon - 9:00pm Sat 2:00pm - 9:00pm
Closed on Sunday
BYO if you like

The chicken is salty without being overbearing, and the skin is crisp and shattering. The greens aren't bitter and the biscuit is light and fluffy without going overboard on the baking powder. Everything is just right. (Elise Thompson)

Looks and sounds awesome Elise.

Couple of questions;

How close are they to the Noho Redline Station? (looks pretty close, but sometimes online maps can be decieving)

Do the greens have meat in them? How about the other vegetable dishes? (ok for me, but I have vegan friends)

I'm looking forward to checking them out. Thanks for doing the review!

I would say it's very close to the Red and Orange Line nexus. 5 minute walk, maybe?

Yeah it's not a far walk at all... go north on Lankershim towards the Ford Dealership past Burbank.

I would say one to two big city blocks - easy on a pleasant day, but it is a lot of concrete that can make the heat intense if the day is a scorcher.

Although the greens do not have pork bits visible or discernable to the palate, traditional Southern food is NOT vegan-friendly. This place is pretty old-school. If something doesn't have pork fat in it, it probably has butter.

When I was vegan I had to make my own soul food. When places avoided pork for Muslims, they usually replaced it with smoked turkey or with lamb. Maybe I will do a recipe post this weekend. Good idea!

Thanks Elise!

A tip for vegan soul food recipes calling for bacon.

Bacos! They are made from soy, and meatless.
