At Station 5 Bar & Table, Julia Ning dredges and fries juicy chicken thighs in a wispy blend of cornstarch, tapioca starch, and turmeric. The result is gluten-free and healthful.

Many of the two dozen or so options at Ning’s 10-month-old
Station 5 Table & Bar come with similarly personal tales. But more important, every plate delights, whether or not you know the inspiration.
