Asians Fry Chicken at Lost Lake

Lost Lake will be doing double duty this Halloween! From October 25 - 27 and Halloween itself, Lost Lake will feature a spooky menu of Halloween tiki cocktails. And from October 28 - 31...Asians Fry Chicken is back!

Reprising one of the year’s most popular Shift-Ease, Lost Lake Executive Chef Fred Noinaj is excited to welcome an exciting roster of chefs for another edition of AFC: Asians Fry Chicken! And, since it’s Halloween, the whole bar will be making the transformation to AFC. From October 28 - 31, Lost Lake will feature a new AFC menu daily, with 25% of proceeds of food sales benefiting KAN-WIN, a non-profit whose mission is to eradicate all forms of violence against women, including domestic violence and sexual assault, by empowering Asian American survivors and engaging the community through culturally competent services, community education and outreach, and advocacy.

Chef Fred conceived of Asians Fry Chicken as a chance to celebrate his heritage through the language fried chicken, a ubiquitous dish in many Asian countries: "As a child, it is not always apparent that being different is cool. Being the kid with the "weird" lunch who spoke an odd language made me ashamed of celebrating my ethnicity until I got older. Being able to bring friends together with similar upbringings to celebrate our cuisines is extremely empowering, especially because we are doing it for a good cause.”
