Hush Puppies
deep-fried balls of cornmeal served with pooh butter
I had never heard of hush puppies before. I found out it was a Southern thing during breakfast. In any case, my brother thought we should try it so he ordered it. Wow this is soo good. It was very savory and tasted so good when you added the pooh (honey) butter. I wish they had timed it so we would have had this as soon as we ordered since I was starving , but they served it about two minutes before our actual breakfast. Oh well. I already looked on websites how to make this and they have some yummy derivatives with shrimp or curried crab so I gotta try that soon.
Cornmeal Buttermilk Pancakes w/ strawberries and granola
I read on the Yelp website that the pancakes were fantastic so after waiting 30 minutes outside in the rain for this, I was excited to finally have it in front of me. When I first saw the amount of maple syrup that they gave me, I was a bit sad since I didn't think it would be enough, but the strawberries were sweet already so I didn't mind afterall. The cornmeal really gave it a course, grainy taste that was really unlike pancakes I have had in the past. I actually liked it since I don't like feeling I'm eating pancakes that are pillowy soft. Yuck. I like it gritty, baby! The buttermilk also gave it a great creamy consistency so it was good to have that combination. The granola bits on top were not that sweet, which I was thankful for since I didn't want sensory overload. Overall, best pancakes I have had in a restaurant!!
2 pancakes, 2 eggs, bacon, sausage and homefries
Since I already had the pancakes, the only things I tried from Jake's plate were the home fries, sausage, and bacon. The homefries were just okay, although it was a nice change from all the sweetness from my pancakes. I wish they had cooked it a little longer since the green bell peppers were still a little raw. The sausage was the best part. It was cooked flat like a patty and had alot of different spices. It tasted like turkey sausage since it was so light. The bacon was awesome as well since it had a nice, thick cut. If I wasn't as full, I would have ordered this since it included the pancakes. Maybe, next time.~
