My friend ordered the pecan crusted pork and praised the dish. I had the “Kentucky Brown” a dish that I had never heard of before. It was wonderful but large enough to share. This is “Southern cooking “ at its best.

I told the waiter what I wanted and mentioned that it was sold out last time I was there. When the waiter brought it to me he said that they were sold out again but that the chef made it again, special for me because it was my birthday and they had been out of it the last time I went. Then they were also out of the pastries and my dish was supposed to come with the pastry of the day. So he custom made a sweet dish for me. It was delicious. I think it was angel food cake with homemade whip cream and berries. So yummy. It was all very delicious!! I will definitely go back more.
