As a notoriously-known northerner with all the trimmings, I was at the point of major culture shock, with a longstanding visage of awe as I walked into this little place where the company is pleasant, the feeling is home, and the food is SOUTHERN.
It was incredible. I am hooked! We ate your out-of-this-world fare of Collard Greens ("Would you like vinegar with that?" I was asked) and Sweet Potato Casserole, complete with the melted butter and marshmallows - and mashed potatoes and gravy, braised cabbage, fruit salad, and the very best homemade mac and cheese I think I have ever tasted in my life. Their cornbread? mmm- mmmm! I'll say it's out-of-sight, because it'll be in your tum in no time ( : !!!
Let it be known also that their produce comes from their very own garden. You'll know it too. Taste that summer freshness! I am happy to be there this season - really a great treat!
Plus, we were fed to the fullest, and our bill pleased us even more.
You just have to take yourself there and experience it, whether you have been raised on this food your entire life (my love calls it Sunday Luncheon - I just call it yummy anytime) or just a complete newcomer, you must check out this place.
It was so scrumptious, I thought I would just melt with love, like butter, for any person with such roots. But, I realize that I have done this all ready ( ; .
So, please see what I mean, and get there, and you'll have a nice feeling and a sweet smile on your face, and I hope you let it last allllll day.
Happy Summer!
