| - i've been wanting to come here for awhile now.
i love southern food so i was intrigued.
unfortunately, most of the items fell a bit short for me.
i think i only half enjoyed every dish that we had.
country pork terrine - this was my favorite, i think. the terrine was very rich and flavorful without being fatty and heavy. the bread was nice and crusty. the pickles were delicious.
kitchen pickle jar - another favorite. i love pickles and their pickles are, again, delicious. a nice serving of pickled cauliflower, turnips, green beans, mushrooms, peppers, carrots, beets.
warm farmer's cheese - basically a less flavorful feta, warmed up, over some not-so-ripe watermelon. i can definitely do this better myself.
short rib n grits - the short rib was dry and overcooked. the grits were pretty good though.
chicken n watermelon n waffles - greasy waffles just aren't my thing, chicken wing. chicken was overcooked and it appeared that the oil in their fryer needed changing. again, not-so-ripe watermelon. if you're gonna have watermelon on your menu, please make sure it's ripe. otherwise, don't serve it. take it off the menu. putting salt on the watermelon to disguise how not sweet it is doesn't work for me.
skillet cornbread (cheddar, bacon, jalapeno, maple butter) - not very fluffy. a little crumbly which is not my jam. it could've used some jam, actually. and then jalapeno? there was no jalapeno flavor at all. maple butter? what maple butter? all i could taste was saltiness from the bacon. but i love cornbread so i half liked it.
i think i would go back to try other items.
i'm just not in the biggest hurry to do so.
