According to conflicting Brooklyn lore, the mile-long strait between Brooklyn and Governors Island called Buttermilk Channel had tidal currents so strong it churned the milk dairy farmers took across into butter—or so low that cows would walk across it. The two legends inspired this Carroll Gardens restaurant, where chef Ryan Angulo prepares comfort food dishes like the namesake buttermilk fried chicken served with cheddar waffles.
