The Chicken fried chicken with white gravy, black-eyed peas, macaroni and cheese, and a hush puppy from Sweet T Southern Kitchen. This home-style southern food was served on a divided paper plate with beautiful colors of gold ranging from buttery yellow macaroni and cheese to medium gold battered chicken and finally a deep rich brown of the hush puppy. No bland plate of taupe here – who knew fried food could look so beautiful? The thick slab of fried and battered boneless chicken breast came out piping hot with not a speck of gristle among the moist white meat. Starting to sound a bit light a romance novel – but it was that good. The macaroni and cheese had a nice texture and bits of pork livened up the black-eyed peas. Both sides accompanied the chicken nicely. The hush puppy was golden and crunchy on the outside with a warm moist interior – while I loved the corn meal texture, it could be improved with more onion and/or whole corn for added texture. Having sampled the half-mashed sweet potatoes before leaving, I promise to add this side to my meal on my next visit – of which there will be many. -MO
