🧅 Fried & True: Crispy Onion Fritters & The Golden Hour | Side Dish Ep. 249

Crispy. Golden. Irresistible.
Tonight, we’re chasing the sound of happiness — that perfect crunch.
We’re frying up Crispy Onion Fritters — golden, salty, and dangerously snackable — and pairing them with a creamy-spicy dipping sauce that walks the line between Southern charm and steakhouse swagger.

And because fried food deserves a toast, we’re shaking up The Golden Hour, a honey-sweet bourbon cocktail that’s as smooth and comforting as the sunset itself.

This episode is all about comfort, chemistry, and controlled chaos — the holy trinity of Side Dish cooking.
