Swinging into serious

Greasiest of disappointments

Having eaten at a lot of ‘celeb’ chef restaurants, I figured trying Paula Deen’s Lady & Sons in Savannah, Ga. was a no brainer. Not all my celeb chef restaurants have been mind blowing, but they usually have a few good items on the menu. And are generally a fun touristy time.

This was not. But I did like the biscuit we started with.

Claire had the buffet. Very southern. Fried chicken. Mac and cheese. Doesn’t she look psyched?

She was not psyched. She was covered in grease. PD prides herself in southern cooking. These fried chicken was average at best. The mac and cheese was pastey and not very flavorful. 

I opted for what was touted on the menu as the “New York Times favorite!” I thought, well if my people liked it, I will too. Asparagus sandwich.

Some cheese is not meant to be melted. Whatever cheese they use is one of those cheeses. It was oiley. And it was in fact not an asparagus sandwich so much as a grilled cheese with a few thin slices of asparagus in it. There was also supposed to be red onion on it. There was in fact, one sliver of red onion (you can see it at the bottom left of the sandwich). Also the fries were too big for my mouth and when cut, all the friedness came right off and it was a soggy red potato. Boo.

Dear Savannah, I hope you have better restaurants than this.

maturity in action

Some small people in my life are watching Dora the Explorer. And it’s an episode about ‘The Magic Stick.’

‘How do we make the magic stick do it’s trick?’

‘Wow, that stick does some trick.’

I’d like to thank 50 cent and Lil’ Kim for prompting me to laugh uncontrollably while watching.

That is all.
