This Is What You Should Be Ordering From the SUR Menu

Unless you're getting a personal tour from Lisa Vanderpump herself, who better is there to share insider intel from one of her restaurants than a Vanderpump Rules pal? Luckily, James Kennedy is available to do that for you.

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Peacock and the Bravo app.

The SURver sat down with us to provide a detailed tour through the restaurant's menu (press play on the clip above), sharing every one of his favorite — and least favorite — dishes in detail... in classically colorful fashion.

"When I'm at SUR, there’s a few things that I crave on the menu so i’m going to take you guys through it," he began — noting he's lucky to "get the discount on it" as a work perk.

Let's begin from the top. "Appetizers: Everyone's amazed by the goat cheese balls. I don’t find them that incredible."

*Record scratch*

That's a controversial opinion!

So what's better, according to James? "A very underrated appetizer that I crave all the time is portobello mushroom skewers served with roasted bell peppers, hearts of palm, tamari soy sauce — the chef puts a secret ingredient in there, and it’s amazing, delicious."

Next, onto salads: "I definitely go with the chopped arugula, buffalo mozzarella, avocado," James says. But here's how to order if you want to do it just like him: "Hold the black olives, hold the tomatoes, extra roasted pecans — lovely."

Now, it's about the pasta, "a very, very important part of the menu here at SUR," James says. "I used to like the penne Siciliano with blackened chicken — it’s got capers in it and pine nuts, which give it a different little Mediterranean feel."

But here's his hot inside tip for a substitution: "If you get the primavera with the Siciliano sauce, you’re on another level."

And there you have the SUR menu, from an expert.

"But as you may know — I'm taking a little break, I'm living healthy now, I'm taking a sober road. So what I'm doing is having a blackened chicken breast, and a side of spinach for my lunch today," James wraps up the vid. "So there you have it, James Kennedy’s sir menu — condensed!"

All points noted, James — thanks.
