SO...I think that we should maybe start at the beginning and tell you some of my favorite restaurants right now...You have to know that I am a huge lover of BBQ and Southern kinds of food. So, these couple restaurants are some of those new finds!
First of all...if you have been around me for a second you have probably heard about "Bubbachucks" on Recker Hwy! ( right across from Ridgepoint Church) I think that my husband and I have tried out about everything on the menu ( the owner now knows my husband by name!) So, when you go there you need to bring a friend and order the loaded baked potato! I personally like the Carolina potato. This potato is like a potato on steriods!!!! It is sssooooo huge! They call it the one pound baked potato but I think that it is more like 5 lbs! On this baked potato is moist pulled pork, sour cream, butter, chives, cole slaw and their homemade BBQ cheese sauce!!! YUMMY!!!! The other thing that I suggest is their BBQ eggroll! This amazing little thing has their awesome cole slaw, BBQ sauce and pulled pork all rolled into one! The weirdest thing is that somehow even the people that don't like their food to touch ( even though it touches in your stomach, people! ) will like this!
Ok, and for my next hot spot...Sundown Restaurant ( which for you people that have been around a while, it would be the old Christy's Sundown) I must say that I wish they would have named it something else because if I friend of mine would not have dragged me there I would have thought that it was the old Christy's...and I am simply not old enough for that place! However, their food was ssooo amazing and fresh!
I have been there a few times now and I feel like I can recommend a couple of choices that anyone would love. First things first...appetizer...you will love their yukon gold chips! They make these fresh to order with a creamy sauce that has feta cheese and smoked chicken all smothered on top! Next, I suggest either their soup, salad, and garlic roll combo. Do not be fooled, this is not your average soup and salad! They make different soups each day...choices like tomato leek, potato chowder, vegetable soup, lentil...and whatever other yummy choice they come up with that morning! The salad is something that they make only for that combo which is a fresh spring mix of black beans, corn, onions, tomatos, cucumbers, all tossed in a wonderful house vinagerette! My other suggestion, if you have a friend to share with or you are eating your leftovers for dinner is to get their take on the "Club" sandwich!
(This fork is also HUGE!!!! So the picture really does not do it complete justice...you must go to see!)
This sandwich has so many wonderful flavors! From the homemade ciabatta bread and herb aioli to the honey ham and turkey with the sundried tomatos! Let me warn you though, this is no little tea time sandwich! This slice of heaven is massive!!! AND, if you are still leaving room for dessert...you have to get the pecan torte! This is the new pecan pie! Their is a pecan brittle (also homemade!) and their take on the pecan pie with a dab of vanilla ice cream! Really, you should order it before your meal!
I hope that you guys get to try some of these things! Let me know what you think! I know you will love it!
