| - I've been wanting to eat at Michael's Cafe for a couple of months now, I tonight I finally made it in. My neighbor, James, and I took a walk here tonight and I couldn't be happier to call Michael's my next best neighbor.
We started out with the wings. James wanted the sauce on the side. I don't think he really understands the concept of buffalo wings, but that's another story. The wings were perfectly cooked, but the sauce tasted like Frank's Red Hot. Which is fine; I love Frank's Red Hot. Then our entrees arrived: the fried chicken for James and the catfish for myself. Our sides were fried cabbage, dirty rice, greens and mac & cheese. My catfish was perfectly cooked and the breading was wonderful. James enjoyed his chicken. The sides, though, were simply divine. The fried cabbage with pieces of bacon was out of this world. I plan to go back with this side in mine, and eventually schmooze up to the staff and get this recipe. The dirty rice was great. the greens were served with green beans and were great and the mac & cheese was great. Plus we took advantage of the two-for-one drink special.
Michael's Cafe was definitely worth waiting for, but something to consider is it can get expensive. Our dinner, with drinks, costs around $30 and it was very much worth it. But it isn't something I could swing every day. Nonetheless, this is going to be a place I'll return too soon and put in my regular rotation.
