Some Southern Cookin'

So one thing that comes along with living in the south is, of course, the Southern Cuisine. Stuff like Grits, Fried Green Tomatoes, Corn Bread, Biscuits, Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Pecan Pie, Cobbler, Bread Pudding, Craw fish and even Chicken Livers... And that's all in one meal! Let me elaborate. Since moving down here Kristen and I have become very good friends with the accompanist at my church, Travis. Travis is one of the kindest, most genuine most giving souls I've ever met. We've been hanging out with him a couple times a week and we just have a ball every time we do. Travis has really incredible taste in food and has introduced us to a few of his favorite restaurants.










Our last adventure brought us to a place called South City Kitchen, an upscale southern restaurant. We new we were in for a treat right when we walked in, it smelled amazing. As he does at all of the restaurants we go to, Travis gave us a run down of the menu as he's had just about everything at these restaurants. He then ordered the appetizers and he got ceative: Fried Green Tomatoes with goat cheese (<-------), chicken livers, and scallops. They were all fantastic. I ordered a craw fish penne for dinner(below) , Kristen had buttermilk fried chicken (above left) and Travis ordered shrimp and scallops served over grits (above right). We were all enthralled with the food and the desserts were just as amazing. So as soon as "y'all" want to come down here we can take you out for some incredible southern cookin'. :-)
