Happy Groundhog Day!

Happy Groundhog Day! Looks like we’ll have six more weeks of winter as the world’s best known weatherman used his computer models to do some meteorological prognostication. Please have a look at what we’re offering for Valentine’s Day, February 14. We look forward to seeing you at the table this year! Here’s what’s cooking for you this week: Shrimp and creamy or fried grits.

What We’re Cooking for You This Week

Thursday, February 2, 2017

Shrimp with creamy or fried grits ($15). Shrimp on baked garlic cheese grits (crispy or baked). Shrimp lovingly cooked with chopped veggies in a delicious sauce served over baked garlic cheese grits (either crispy or baked) will make you toot your horns up and down the street. After endless days of trying to get his life changed, weatherman Phil Connors (played by Bill Murray) observes, “When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn’t imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.” Of course, we’re wondering if winter will ever arrive. Come join us at the table, we’d love to see you!

Famous Quotes

In an article from International Business Times entitled, “Groundhog Day 2016: Facts, Quotes, History And Everything Else You Need To Know About Punxsutawney Phil’s Prediction,” they note, “The U.S. National Climatic Data Center has found that Phil is only correct about 40 percent of the time.” So, we have a 2 in 5 chance of a longer winter this year. Yep.

Well, we couldn’t resist a chicken joke: “Why did the chicken cross the road half way?

Tuesday, January 24, 2017

Crispy beef tacos, black beans, and fresh salsas. We’ll prepare some savory ground beef for the crispy tacos, serve it with black beans, fresh salsas, and all the trimmings. Someone once famously said, “A well-balanced diet is a taco in each hand.” We couldn’t agree more. Come add some dietary balance to your life with these wonderfully fresh tacos.

Wednesday, January 25, 2017

Fried chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, and savory-sweet green beans. Chicken tenders bedded overnight in buttermilk and hot sauce come fried in a special flour recipe and served with mashed potatoes, savory sweet green beans, and flaky honey buttermilk biscuits — good home-cooking at its best. Believe it or not, the Scottish first fried chicken in fat, though without seasonings. Those Scottish who emigrated to the United States, brought their fry-cooking with them. Add the battering and seasoning of enslaved West African folk in the South, who originally fried chicken in palm oil, and a need for food to stay fresh before refrigeration — and you have a southern table staple. Fried chicken, it’s a thoroughly multicultural affair. Who knew?

If you can’t make it for lunch on Wednesday, just give us a call at 267-4457, we’ll set aside some supper for you of delicious fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and savory-sweet green beans.

Shrimp étouffée, house salad, and fresh house-made bread ($15). Shrimp lovingly cooked with the tasty trinity veggies, a light roux, and delectable Cajun spices in a delicious sauce served over Louisiana rice will make you boogie up and down the street. Way back in 1983, the campy and boisterous “The A-Team” debuted with memorable characters such as “Hannibal” (George Peppard), “Faceman” (Dirk Benedict), “Mad-dog Murdock” (Dwight Schultz) and, of course, “B.A. Baracus,” played by the mohawked and bejeweled Mr. T. Sylvester Stallone saw Mr. T, and well, box office history was made in Rocky III. Some of B.A.’s most famous lines, “I’m gonna get you sucker” and “Pity the fool” still make the rounds.

What We’re Cooking for You This Rainy Thursday

Thursday, January 19, 2017

Pan-sautéed redfish with house salad and house bread. We got some deliciously seasoned pan-sauteed redfish with house salad for a thunderous Thursday launching pad into the weekend. Way back in 1809, poet, writer, and critic Edgar Allen Poe entered this world. Famous for his poems like “The Raven” and “Annabel Lee,” he also penned such horror classics as “The Tale-Tell Heart” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.” He’s not always remembered as the creator of the detective story, though. “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” and “The Purloined Letter” stand as intriguing thrillers in the whodunnit genre. Of course, few knew “The Purloined Letter” started as a seaside tale with the working title “The Purloined Redfish.” Poe loved his seafood, and his idea started with the theft of a redfish from a fishmonger. Well, that’s not really so true, but it makes for an interesting Thursday tale. Come join us for some wonderful redfish this Friday!

What We’re Cooking for You This Week

Tuesday, January 17, 2017

Chicken tostadas with house salad or grab some fresh chicken tortilla soup with a house salad. Our tostadas come piled with flavorfully cooked shredded breast meat, black beans, and queso fresco. Or, grab some lovely chicken tortilla soup with crispy tortilla strips and shredded cheese. Well, way back in 1967, the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Green Bay Packers in the first ever “Super Bowl.” Led by MVP Bart Starr, the Packers made history by defeating their American Football League opponents 35-10. Interestingly enough, the Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys on their way to this first “super” win. For their efforts, the winning players received a whopping $15,000, the highest amount paid to individuals on a team for a sporting event win. Of course, those gridiron warriors of old would probably choke if they knew their worthy successors would take home $102,000 individually for winning the Super Bowl. Okay, we can’t guarantee a haul like that, but these tostadas will help you get ready for the division playoffs and Super Bowl 51.

Wednesday, January 18, 2017

Louisiana red beans & rice with hot water cornbread. Our red beans come fully and deeply flavored, cooked in our own house-made smoked ham hock stock that will totally set the week in motion. Our old friend and mathematical genius Pythagorus opined, “Beans have a soul.” Then, he ate some beans and developed the Pythagorean theorem. These beans are soulfully good and might even help you with all that pesky Euclidean geometry your high school math teacher promised you’d need in everyday life.

If you can’t make it for lunch on Wednesday, just give us a call at 267-4457, we’ll set aside some supper for you of delicious Louisiana red beans & rice.

Thursday, January 19, 2017

Pan-sauteed redfish with house salad and house bread. We got some deliciously seasoned pan-sauteed redfish with house salad for a thunderous Thursday launching pad into the weekend. Former news anchor Tom Brokaw rightly observed, “If fishing is religion, fly fishing is high church.” Yep. Of course, someone once said, “An angler is a man who spends rainy days sitting on the muddy banks of rivers doing nothing because his wife won’t let him do it at home.” Come join us for some high church redfish we caught while doing nothing. Nobody has to know what you’re doing.

As we head into inauguration week, some advice from the great Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu might be helpful, “Govern a great nation as you would cook a small fish. Do not overdo it.” Our old friend Abraham Lincoln wrote, “I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day.” Well, there you have it. Happy inauguration week!

January 10, 2017 Weekly Menu

Happy New Year! We’re making a change to our weekly lunch schedule this year, serving lunch Tuesday through Thursday each week. We look forward to seeing you at the table this year! Here’s what’s cooking for you this week: beef enchiladas, chicken and dumplings, and a shrimptastic po-boy Thursday.

What We’re Cooking for You This Week

Tuesday, January 10, 2017

Beef enchiladas, fresh house-made tortilla chips, fresh salsa and house salad. We take flavorfully cooked ground beef, rolled in lightly fried corn tortillas, and add our very own deeply delicious house-made enchilada sauce to make a great dish. Well, apparently the fearless explorer Christopher Columbus needed some glasses. You see, he mistook the manatees he saw while sailing near the Dominican Republic for mermaids. He wrote, they “are not half as beautiful as they are painted.” We just keep thinking of the Veggie Tales’ song about the beautiful “Barbara Manatee, you are the one for me.” These enchiladas won’t be mistaken for anything but good, home-cooked food.

Wednesday, January 11, 2017

Chicken and dumplings. These dumplings come seeded with herbs in a house-made stock and cream sauce, and there’s no more elegant and comforting way to the new year than with a sumptuous dish of house-made chicken and dumplings.

If you can’t make it for lunch on Wednesday, just give us a call at 267-4457, we’ll set aside some supper for you of delicious chicken and dumplings.

Thursday, January 12, 2017

Shrimptastic po-boy Thursday. Take a half-size po-boy, hollow the bread to make a bread cave, stuff it with our own New Orleans style barbecued shrimp (prepped in loads of butter, white wine, and saucy spices), cover it with barbecue sauce, and grab the napkins. Or grab our fried green tomatoes, add some shrimp sautéed in our barbecue sauce, our house salad with house-made dressing, some remoulade sauce, and you’ve got a little more than a po-boy, you’ve got a “Whoa-boy.”

Famous Quotes

Our old buddy Ralph Waldo Emerson noted, “Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” Well, get writing and let’s have a great year!

The Christmas Pickle

Get “irresistibly contagious” this year with laugher, love, and joy as we celebrate this holy season. Come learn about “The Christmas Pickle,” and sing a little jingle about shrimp and grits. Come join us at the table, we’d love to see you! Here’s what we’ve got cooking for you at week’s end: chicken tortilla soup and shrimp and grits.

What We’re Cooking for You This Week

Thursday, December 22

Chicken tortilla soup. This soup, made with our house-made stock, black beans, fresh corn, tomatoes, and roasted chicken is just the ticket to launch you into a fantastic holiday weekend. Bob Hope shares, “My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others.” He also joked about one of his famous co-stars, “Bing Crosby and I weren’t the types to go around kissing each other. We always had a light jab for each other. One of our stock lines used to be ‘There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Bing, and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for me. And that’s the way we go through life – doing nothing for each other!’ Well, we say, share a little love with someone this year, but while you’re on your way, try a little tortilla soup — it’s our way of sharing the love.

Friday, December 23

Shrimp and grits ($15). Shrimptastic Friday: Shrimp on baked garlic cheese grits (crispy or creamy), $15. Shrimp lovingly cooked with chopped veggies in a delicious sauce served over baked garlic cheese grits (either crispy or cream) will make you toot your horns up and down the street. One silly Christmas tradition, said to have started in Germany, is the Christmas pickle. Yep. A pickle ornament is placed last on the tree, and the first child to find it gets a extra present. Turns out, though, the tradition didn’t start in Germany. Nopey. It started in the 1880’s with a fad of having vegetable ornaments on the tree. No kidding. So, really, the Christmas pickle is just a marketing trick, and yes, it started in the U.S. Well, we’ll take something from old Germany and spruce it up just for you: “O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, Wie treu sind deine Blätter!” Translated it reads, “O shrimp and grits, O shrimp and grits, your sauce and grits delight us.” We never said we knew German. But, let ol’ Nat King Cole hold forth singing about his favorite dish made with grits, and the translation just might work. Merry Christmas!

We’ll Be Closed December 26, 2016 — January 9, 2016

We’ll be closed for the holidays from December 26, 2016 to January 9, 2017. We’ll reopen for the new year with lunch service on January 10, 2017. We are truly thankful for all the folks who frequent our table. Thanks for giving into our lives with your time and talk, our lives are enriched because of you. We hope you have a blessed and happy holidays! 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Our friend Charles Dickens wrote in his immortal tale about the changed heart of Ebenezer Scrooge, “There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.” Let’s get positively contagious this year, sharing laughter, love, and joy as we gather to celebrate this holy season!
