We don’t know what they put in the yellow rice at Lancaster Ave’s Lavish. But it’s a peppery and savory blend that, like every Jazmine Sullivan song, exists in perfect harmony. The small neighborhood spot has only a few tables inside, so you’ll usually see people shuffling in and out with something they covet more than an empty chair at the barbershop. Grab the chicken wing platter—it’s just $6, each bite has a satisfying crunch, and the sides are large enough to keep you full for an entire day.
