OC Restaurant Quest: Otus Supply in Ferndale
(Crystal A. Proxmire, Feb. 10, 2023)
Ferndale, MI – It’s been a while since I last wrote about Otus Supply in Downtown Ferndale, and it was a pleasure to be back. For this visit, a friend and I enjoyed The Yardbird pizza, which is made with BBQ sauce, three cheese blend, cheddar, marinated grilled chicken, red onion, and cilantro.
We also split a side of Slow Burn Broccolini and an order of Wings of Love. The broccolini was fire-roasted with gochujang, honey, and sesame seeds. The Wings of Love were amazing smoked chicken wings which we had served with dry rub, though there are also buffalo sauce and bbq options.
Otus has other pizza choices, each of them with their own special combinations. No Sleep Til Brooklyn has three cheese blend, pepperoni, and chili flakes. The Queen of Hearts has three cheese blend plus Gouda, mushrooms, sweet peppers, and onions.
They also offer handhelds, like the Funky Chicken, the Salmon Burger, and the Ferndale which has a certified Angus beef patty with lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, ketchup and mayo. Headliners have musical names like Carolina on my Mind, Seoul Power, and Fleetwood Mac.
There are salads too, like Turn the Beet Around which features beets, roasted Michigan apples, goat cheese, apple coulis, and roasted pepitas.
Otus Supply also has a page full of cocktails and drinks. I did not indulge this evening, but my friend had the Harvester of Sorrow, which is their version of a Smoked Old Fashioned made with Otus Old Forester Barrel Proof, Angostura Bitters, Orange Bitters, and Demerera. Other interesting choices include the Yellow Submarine (made with Liberator gin, yellow chartreuse, elderflower liquer, and lemon juice), and the Arsenal of Democracy (Bardstown fusion, rock and rye syrup, and bitters).
In addition to the lovely food, Otus Supply has an eclectic atmosphere and friendly staff, plus an area for live music called The Parliament Room. Check out the website for upcoming shows, menus and more: https://otussupply.com.
