This Train is Bound for Chicken

“All aboard for the fried chicken train!” cried the folksy conductor named Woodie. We’ve had a great vacation, and we hope you’re having a wonderful Labor Day Weekend. What’s cooking in the kitchen for you next week: fried chicken with all kinds of goodies on Tuesday! Come see us, we’d love to see you!

What We’re Cooking for You Next Week

Tuesday, September 8

Fried chicken tenders with roasted sweet potatoes, speckled butter beans, and a honey buttermilk biscuit. Chicken tenders lovingly bedded overnight in buttermilk and hot sauce come famously fried in a special flour recipe and served with roasted sweet potatoes and speckled butter beans — oh, and some cream gravy. “This train is bound for chicken, this train. This train is bound for chicken, this train. This train is bound for chicken, don’t carry nothin’ but the righteously hungry, this train…,” sang Woodie Guthrie. For a boy from Okemah, Oklahoma whose first band was called The Corn Cob Trio, it’s not a bad song — apparently he really liked chicken. All trains lead to our house on Tuesday for a great Southern luncheon. Hope to see you there!

For our crispy fried chicken, why not try the fried chicken on a house salad ($12), in a bacon chicken wrap ($12), or on a sandwich ($12)!

Famous Food Quotes

Our good friend Dolly Parton once said, ““My weaknesses have always been food and men — in that order.” Well, here’s to Dolly keeping things in order. Besides, who else could sing a Bee Gees penned tune with Kenny Rogers that topped the charts? You guessed it.

I Am on Vacation!

Earl Wilson rightly noted, “A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you’ve been taking.” Sounds like Captain Obvious to us. Well, here’s what’s cooking at week’s end: sampler sandwiches and barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boys!

What We’re Cooking for Week’s End

Just a reminder: We’ll be closed August 31 — September 4 for a little vacation, so please mark your calendars. We’ll re-open for lunch on September 8!

Thursday, August 27 — Standard Menu

The sampler sandwich comes rolling into town on our fresh house made bread. Our house made pimento cheese, toasted, comes with our own chicken salad, some bacon, and just a little dab of salad with our house dressing. It’s big, it’s messy, and it’s delicious. Big is better. Think about it: four-wheel drive trucks are not enough, we need monster trucks. Cars with radios and CD players are not enough, we need navigation, satellite radio, and internet service. And, we’re hoping Amazon wins approval to use drones to deliver products to our homes for almost same-day service because mail services are too slow, and we really didn’t want to go to the store in our pajamas. Well, meet our solution: the sampler sandwich. Yes, it will make monster trucks better, cars cooler, and online delivery faster. Who knew a giant sandwich could to all that?

Friday, August 28

Barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boy and a house salad. 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. “Leo, maybe you could use a vacation,” his friend Dr. Phil suggested after Leo attacked Bob Wiley at a birthday party in What about Bob? “I AM ON VACATION!” Leo blurted, very frustrated with everybody especially his nemesis Bob. Dr. Phil prescribes some pills, but we know that what Dr. Leo Marvin really needed was a barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boy. It will set the world to rights, yes it will, and it just might help you relax amid all the frustrations of your life.

Not the Wagon Queen Family Truckster, but our vacation getaway car.

“I’m a little verklempt because of the food!” Linda Richman croaked on Coffee Talk. What’s cooking in the kitchen for you this week: red beans & rice, chicken enchiladas, and barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boys!

What We’re Cooking for You This Week

Monday, August 24

Special made Louisiana red beans & rice with honey buttermilk biscuits. Our red beans come full of flavor, cooked in our own house made pork stock. “When you’re a jet, you’re a jet all the way,” they sang, dancing and bobbing down the street. Yep. Who knew? It was beans powered all those fancy dance moves in West Side Story. Beans caused the fighting, too. And, yes, beans brought those star-crossed lovers Maria and Tony together.

Tuesday, August 25 — Highlighting a Standard

Bacon Chicken Ranch Salad. Take our grilled chicken and our salad of romaine and red leaf lettuce, add our house made ranch with some bacon mixed into the dressing, and you’ve got a fabulous lunch. For some extra zest, try the chipotle ranch on this salad! “I ‘spect you’ve been up all night readin’ the good book,” Call said to Gus who sat over a fire with a cast iron pot full of biscuits. “It’s hard to have fun in a place like this, but I do what I can,” Gus replied sarcastically. Gus always orders the chipotle bacon chicken ranch salad — he’ll eat pigs, but he won’t rent them.

Wednesday, August 26

Chicken enchiladas served with Spanish rice and lime cilantro cole slaw. Native American author Sherman Alexie observes, “And believe me, a good piece of chicken can make anybody believe in the existence of God.” Well, there it is, chicken helps people have a divine experience. Amen, and pass the chicken.

Barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boy and a house salad. 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. Sebastian sang to keep Ariel in The Little Mermaid from going topside, “Down here all the fish is happy, as off through the waves they roll. The fish on the land ain’t happy, they sad ’cause they in their bowl. But fish in the bowl is lucky, they in for a worser fate: One day when the boss get hungry! Guess who’s gon’ be on the plate? Under the sea….” Of course, our suspension of disbelief, that trick that makes on-screen stories tick, takes a beating when Sebastian is grabbed and cooked for dinner with clarified butter, lemon, and a lightly sweet chardonnay. Don’t tell the kiddies how good he tasted (don’t tell them about that Bambi venison steak they love, either).

Dessert Offerings This Week

Triple crown brownies. As the story goes, Richard Strauss had some brownies one day, and it inspired him to write the trumpet blaring, tympani banging work Thus Spoke Zarathustra. You’ll feel the rise of the music when you grab one of these. Heck, you might even start talking to Hal 2000.

Lemon pound cake. It’s a cake made in a bundt pan — light, lemony, and delicious. The round cake finds its origins in the German Gugelhupf cake. Nordic Ware renamed and branded the round pan a “bundt” cake over fifty years ago. Call us crazy, but a Gugelhupf cake is not only tricky and silly to say, it’s fun to eat. Have some fun with our easy-to-pronounce bundt.

Coffee ice cream. It’s an old recipe, dressed in some new frilly garb just for you. Linda Richman gets verklempt when talking about Barbra Streisand songs and old recipes that brighten the table. She could barely talk after trying this ice cream. “Talk amongst yourselves….”

Lavender scones with either lemon curd or strawberry shortcake. Old Ben Franklin was always poetically philosophical over scones at the breakfast table: “Be not niggardly of what costs thee nothing, as courtesy, counsel, and countenance.” Right on, brother!

Here Comes the Rain

“Here comes the rain, I love the rain!” sang that 80’s alternative band The Cult. We love the rain, and we sure need some! What’s cooking in the kitchen for you at week’s end: barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boys!

What We’re Cooking for You at Week’s End

Thursday, August 20 — Standard Menu

Pimento cheese and bacon on our house made bread. We take two cheeses, add roasted red peppers, green onions, and house made fresh mayo to form this delightfully light and tasty homage to the South. American cheese got its start late in the 19th century when folks wanted to make a similar cheese to the soft French Nêufchatel. Add the very mild pimiento pepper, a Spanish import to the U.S. around that time, and you have the ground from which our vaunted pimento cheese sprang. Pimento (a shortening of the Spanish) cheese began in New York City (don’t tell anybody in the South) as a fancy little sandwich spread of this soft American cheese and pimentos. Eventually, thank goodness, it migrated to the South were it’s become a staple of church luncheons, ladies’ teas, and Saturday afternoon football (with beer and Fritos, of course). Try our special house made pimento cheese, you will feel historic.

Virgina Woolf observed so fittingly, “One cannot think, love, or sleep well if one has not dined well.” Who needs a diet plan with that kind of whole life advice?

“The hills are alive with the sound of bean song!” Fraulein Maria sang as she spun her way through the mountain meadow. What’s cooking in the kitchen for you this week: red beans & rice, fried chicken and signature potatoes, and barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boys!

What We’re Cooking for You This Week

Monday, August 17

Special made Louisiana red beans & rice with honey buttermilk biscuits. Our red beans come full of flavor, cooked in our own house made pork stock. Few knew Maria had a problem. The beans and bread diet at the convent wreaked havoc with her GI tract, so she’d find solace in the hills singing her way out of discomfort. “The hills are alive with the sound of music,” she’d sing, only it was the sound of the musical fruit called beans. The spinning helped, too — just not too much. Who knew that singing could help your digestion?

Tuesday, August 18 — Standard Menu

Joe Friday is famous for his, “Just the facts, ma’am” statement he made so many times when collecting information at a crime scene on Dragnet. What folks don’t know is that Jack Webb was a huge baseball fan, particularly of Babe Ruth. His badge number, “714,” was widely rumored to be honor of Babe Ruth’s home run record. Not true. “714” is actually the badge number of the officer who liased with Jack Webb, a guy named Dan Cooke. When Jack Webb passed away in 1982, Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates retired badge 714 in honor of Jack Webb, and he gave him full police honors at his funeral.

Wednesday, August 19

Fried chicken tenders with signature potatoes, baby lima beans, and a honey buttermilk biscuit. Chicken tenders lovingly bedded overnight in buttermilk and hot sauce come famously fried in a special flour recipe and served with signature potatoes and baby lima beans. “Every single diet I ever fell off of was because of potatoes and gravy of some sort,” Doll Parton admits. In that moment, she becomes every woman who’s been seduced by the intoxicating power of gravy and potatoes. She actually sang about it in her crossover hit, “Here you come again, looking better than anybody has a right to….” It was a song about her diet nemesis, potatoes and gravy.

For our crispy fried chicken, why not try the fried chicken on a house salad ($12), in a bacon chicken wrap ($12), or on a sandwich ($12)!

Thursday, August 20 — Standard Menu

Our good friend and humorist W.C. Fields rightly remarked, “Never try to impress a woman, because if you do she’ll expect you to keep up the standard for the rest of your life.”

Friday, August 21

Barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boy and a house salad. 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. “NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!” Michael Palin of Monty Python fame exclaimed as he jumped onto the scene dressed in papal garb. “Our chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear…fear and surprise…. Our two weapons are fear and surprise…and ruthless efficiency…. Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope…. Our *four*…no… *Amongst* our weapons…. Amongst our weaponry…are such elements as fear, surprise…. I’ll come in again.” Our shrimp po-boy will help you get it just right, the first time.

Dessert Offerings This Week

Buttermilk custard pie. Colonel Custard did it. He killed the maid in the closet with a pastry. You won’t need a clue for this pie, it’s fabulous.

Browned butter pecan pie. Can there really be anything better in life that browned butter cooked with local pecans? That’s our philosophical question for the day. Take a moment to discuss over coffee.

Triple crown brownies. Our brownies served with milk chocolate, white chocolate, and buttermilk chips melted in the batter. Yes, you can join American Pharaoh in the winner’s circle with this brownie…well, in some movie dream inspired by chocolate overload.

Key lime pie. Dr. Albert Schweizer observed, “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” Eat this key lime pie, and you will be successful. Yes, you will.

Lavender scones with either lemon curd or strawberry shortcake. As he pushed away from the breakfast table holding more of his beloved scones, Ben Franklin told his family, “A good example is the best sermon.” Of course, he always had scones delivered to his office unbeknownst to his family.

“Those that lack friends to open themselves unto are cannibals of their own hearts,” Francis Bacon introspectively remarked. He might be right but what does that mean for someone named “Bacon”?

Days of Miracle and Wonder

“These are days of miracle and wonder. This is the long distance call,” Paul Simon sings. What’s cooking in the kitchen for you at week’s end: campanelle pasta with Italian sausage in a marinara sauce, and barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boys!

What We’re Cooking for You at Week’s End

Thursday, August 13

Fresh marinara sauce with Italian sausage served with campanelle pasta, and an old friend named eggplant. Bernadette Peters wishfully remembered, “I love the pasta with the homemade marinara sauce I had as a kid.” Well, this pasta dish will transport you to the rose-colored days of yesteryear, but it probably won’t make you sing as well as she — that is, unless you’re Steve Martin in The Jerk singing, “I lika you, like you lika me….” Bring your ukulele, you’ll lika this pasta.

Friday, August 7

Barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boy and a house salad. Prepped in gobs of butter, white wine, and saucy spices, our own New Orleans style barbecued shrimp come stuffed into po-boy bread drowned in the barbecue sauce. Grab a fork and napkins, dear friends, you can’t eat this sandwich with your fingers. Like the evocative lyrics of Paul Simon’s “The Boy in the Bubble,” this sandwich will cause you to pause, wonder, and think, “Holy cow! In spite of its craziness, this life is pretty good!” The sandwich probably won’t solve the world’s dilemmas, but if you listen closely, you just might hear Ladysmith Black Mambazo singing in the background: “Oh rain, Oh rain, Oh rain, rain, rain, beautiful rain.” Rain just might make the world a little better today, and so will this sandwich.

Famous Food Quotes

After a long night of playing, Louis Armstrong liked something his momma fixed when he was young: fried ham, grits, and biscuits slobbered in butter. As he reflected on his glorious meal, he sang, “I see skies of blue, and clouds of white, the bright blessed day, the dark sacred night, and I think to myself, what a wonderful world.” Yep. Food and memories of mom can do that for you.

What We’re Cooking for You This Week

Monday, August 10

Louisiana red beans & rice with biscuits. Jack gets a bad rap for that whole trading the milk cow for magic beans episode. Sure, on the surface trading a perfectly good cow for some dried, if “magic,” beans seems pretty ridiculous. Just goes to show you the true value of beans, like the old adage: “A bean in hand is worth a cow in the bush.” And, as we recall, the story didn’t turn out too badly for Jack (aside from him turning thief).

Tuesday, August 11 — Fried Chicken Day!

Fried chicken tenders with purple hull peas and special sweet corn. Sylvester Stallone revealed his secret diet while on the movie set: “When I’m doing a movie, I eat the same thing every day. For lunch, it’s tuna salad or chicken salad and cole slaw. That’s it. For dinner it’s either veal and rice, fish and rice or steak and rice. It gets boring; boy, does it get boring.” I guess the raw eggs in Rocky were just a passing fad. Sounds like Sly needs some fried chicken. It’ll probably help him do Rocky XXXVII: Rumble in the Nursing Home.

For crispy chicken Tuesday, why not try the fried chicken on a house salad ($12), in a bacon chicken wrap ($12), or on a sandwich ($12)!

Wednesday, August 12

Pulled pork sandwiches with apple cole slaw. This is our version of a pig with an apple in its mouth, only our pig comes served on a hoagie roll with the slaw slathered on top. It’s a total mess to eat, but it will make the difference for your hump day. Lewis Black so righteously remarked, “You can never put too much pork in your mouth as far as I’m concerned.” Amen, brother.

Thursday, August 13

Marinara sauce with Italian sausage served with campanelle pasta. What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta! Well, here comes the real deal just for you, and pasta really does make life more noodlely because it helps your brain. Yep.

Friday, August 7

Barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boy and a house salad. Few folks know that during late 1774 early 1775 our friend Paul Revere was employed by the Boston Committee of Correspondence and the Massachusetts Committee of Safety as an express rider to carry news, messages, and copies of resolutions as far away as New York and Philadelphia. Yep, that’s right, he was in social media before we had a name for it. His famous cry, “The redcoats are coming!” was actually honed and perfected by another more important cry he made many times as messenger: “The shrimp boats are coming!” Folks used to get really excited about shrimp, not so much about the invading British, though. No invasions here…well, not really. Just shrimp invading your taste buds.

Dessert Offerings This Week

Buttermilk pie. Grandma’s back in town, and she’s packing…a buttermilk pie. An old time recipe for an old time festival at the table. And, if you don’t mind your manners, grandma has been practicing her Tae Kwon Do.

Pecan pie. Researchers now recommend eating pecan pies every day as an aid to proper diet and digestion. Apparently, there are lots of prebiotics and probiotics in the mix of pecans, butter, and sugar. Well, there you have it: experts telling us something we already know.

Summer pudding. Sweet bread is layered with fruit compote, then covered in fruit compote and whipped cream. Yummy. Bryan Wilson sang “Help Me, Pudding, help, help me Pudding. Help Me, Pudding, help, help me Pudding, get her out of my heart.” Apparently, Mr. Wilson was despondent over a lost romance, but then he decided that eating wouldn’t help him get over a girl. So, he sang about another girl helping him get over a girl. Explain how that makes sense. Just eat the pudding.

Lavender scones with either lemon curd or strawberry shortcake. Ben Franklin, the elder statesman at the Continental Congress, carefully warned many of his younger colleagues, “For age and want save while you may; no morning sun lasts a whole day.” He often waxed rhapsodic like that after having scones for breakfast.

Monday, August 3

Louisiana red beans & rice with biscuits. Well, beans still set the disco night on fire, but this time with Andy Gibb singing a song his brother Barry helped write: “Love is higher than a mountain, love is thicker than water. You are this dreamer’s only dream, heaven’s angel, devil’s daughter.” Yes, he loved beans so well he sang dreamily about them. Heaven’s angel brought the delicious delights of these legumes into his life, but alas, as the devil’s daughter, well, we know what happens — the uncomfortable bloat of gas, and he just couldn’t sing those high notes.

Tuesday, August 4 — Fried Chicken Day!

Fried chicken tenders with baked garlic cheese grits and roasted broccoli. Few know what a fried chicken fan David Lee Roth was. While practicing “Dance the Night Away” in long practice sessions with Van Halen, David would change the lyrics to stop the tedium of Eddie’s guitar. “Have you seen her? So fried and pretty. Fooled me with her stylish grease. And I feel her from across the room, yes, it’s love in the third degree. Oooooh, chicken, chicken won’tcha turn a leg my way….” It’s the real reason they booted him from the band. Fried chicken lyrics.

For crispy chicken Tuesday, why not try the fried chicken on a house salad ($12), in a bacon chicken wrap ($12), or on a sandwich ($12)!

Wednesday, August 5

Tilapia tacos served with Spanish rice with black beans, southwestern style tartar sauce, and fresh salsa. “Fishing is a discipline in the equality of men — for all men are equal before fish.” Who knew Herbert Hoover was so philosophical? Too bad it didn’t save his presidency. These tacos will save your week, though, and they might just keep the country out of another recession.

Thursday, August 6

Marinara sauce with Italian sausage served with campanelle pasta. Campanelle is the “ruffled bell” of the pasta world, and in Italian, that word campanelle can refer to “handbells.” Cool. Frank Sinatra was a huge campanelle fan, that’s why he sang “Ring-a-Ding-Ding” so well. It was a love song for his favorite pasta.

Dessert Offerings This Week

Zoë’s mini chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and a mocha icing filling. You remember that thief played by Vincent Cassel who danced his way through lasers to steal a diamond in Oceans Twelve? We didn’t think it was really possible either until we designed a laser protection system for these chocolate cakes. Danged if someone didn’t dance through the shop to steal the mini chocolate cakes. And, no it wasn’t the Pink Panther, he hates chocolate.

Double chocolate brownies. We call these “the nuclear option” when conventional chocolate bombs fail to please. Milk chocolate and white chocolate melted together in our Mr. Fusion form these bombtabulous brownies. “It’s two minutes to midnight, Mr. President,” the SecDef warned. “Grab the brownies and the briefcase, and take us to DefCon 1,” the president ordered.

Lavender scones with either lemon curd or strawberry shortcake. “Content is the philosopher’s scone, that turns all it touches into gold,” Ben Franklin told his local baker who made the best scones in Philly. The baker still made him pay for the goods, though, because content doesn’t pay the bills.

Key lime pie with graham cracker crust. Jeb Bush called, and he wants these beauties for his presidential campaign bus — something about reminding him of his Florida home. We told him his daddy stole them all. The elder Bush did a HALO jump to raid the fridge. Yes, it happened, and Barbara was ticked — he ate them all before he got to Houston.

Pecan pie. “Rhett,” Scarlett whined, “why do we have all these messy pecan trees?” “Well, darlin’, I love pecan pie.” “More than me?” she asked, batting her lashes. Rhett smiled that warm, charismatic grin that gets him everything he wants, and said, “Frankly, my dear…yes.”

Famous Bee Gees Bacon Quotes

Barry Gibb famously loved bacon, and he wrote a winsome tune about it. “I solve my problems and I see the light, we got a bacon thing, we gotta feed it right. There ain’t no danger we can go too far, we start believing now that we can be who we are. Grease is the word… It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning. Grease is the time, is the place, is the bacon, grease is the way we are feeling….” Apparently, he wrote it over a stout English breakfast in Australia. Go figure.

Many Women Floating in the River

“Maria, there are many women floating in the river…but you are the only one I want to stuff and stick on my wall…over the fireplace.” We can’t help you woo beautiful women, but we can get you some good food that inspires you. What’s cooking at week’s end for you: chicken carbonara, salmon croquettes, and barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boys!

What We’re Cooking for You at Week’s End

Thursday, July 30

Chicken carbonara served on penne pasta. Some chickens (the philosophical ones, to be sure) dream of a better world where they can cross the road without their motives being questioned or scrutinized. They, too, believe in the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of egginess (whatever that is). Our chicken carbonara is none so philosophically attuned as gastronomically exciting. Come see and visit with a deeply thoughtful chicken who’s fighting for chicken’s rights.

Friday, July 31 — Salmon & Shrimp Ruckus!

Salmon croquettes with an artichoke cream sauce and a fresh roasted vegetable medley. Lionel Richie came to singing at a young age, singing for family and friends at home or at the church house. Once he became famous, he’d sometimes retool The Commodores hits with food lines. One favorite he always sang for Aunt Imogene who made the best salmon croquettes. Crescendo the horns, make the key change, and “Well, I’m eaaaasaaay….aaah, aaah, aaah….I’m easy like salmon croquettes….aaah, aaah, aaah….I’m easy like salmon croquettes.” Aunt Mo-Gene never failed to produce the croquettes. Folks called her “Mo-Gene” because they always wanted “mo” of her food. Yep, true story…somewhere in neverland.

Barbecued shrimp stuffed po-boy and a house salad. As he came to woo her on a date, Max Goldman, played by Walter Matthau, told the beautiful Maria Ragetti, played by Sophia Loren: “There are many women floating in the river…but you are the only one I want to stuff and stick on my wall…over the fireplace.” Of course, then we hear the soulful whine from Max, “I didn’t say it right.” You don’t have to say the right words to get a shrimp po-boy, just come by with one word to remember (no, it’s not “please”). It’s a word that is practically perfect in every way.
