The best parmas in town
ED’S HASTINGS
When some people go out for a meal, they don’t even bother looking at the menu – they just order the parma!
The legendary Ed Keating isn’t all wit and humour, he’s also a creative genius. Having invented a secret gluten-free 4flour spice blend that is paired with boneless chicken and fried to create the epitome of fried chicken, he’s levelled up even more.
There are a stack of meals that you can cook at home instead of going out to enjoy, but it is truly difficult to do a parma as well as you get in a restaurant or pub. Venues across the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston will delight you with a delicious chicken parma, served with a side of chips and a crispy salad and accompanied with a refreshing beer. It’s enough to make your mouth water. Here we focus on three of the best parmas around and encourage you to tuck into one soon – and don’t forget to send us your images for posting on social media.
