Roots Southern Table
Roots Southern Table in Farmers Branch draws on Chef Tiffany Derry’s Southern upbringing, with duck fat-fried chicken, gumbo and family food traditions at its heart.
The Got Weekend take
Why go
Chef Tiffany Derry’s childhood provides the starting point for Roots Southern Table: seasonal meals, preserved produce and a family habit of wasting nothing. Her grandmother welcomed visitors with food, while fish fries, crawfish boils and special-occasion fried chicken marked family gatherings. Derry and fellow founder Tom Foley carry that connection between food and belonging into a restaurant intended to feel like a return to loved ones. Alongside duck fat-fried chicken, the website spotlights chargrilled Texas Red Fish served with Ghanaian shito, crab rice dressing, petite greens and citrus. My Mother’s Gumbo combines chicken, Zummo’s sausage, shrimp and blue crab with filé and herb rice. Orange Juice Cake brings warm butter cake together with orange and crème fraîche. Reservations are available through OpenTable, and an email contact handles questions about reservations, large parties and private events.
