Wednesday night I went to South restaurant in Neutral Bay with my American friends
My main meal was a pulled pork sandwich, yummy bbq sauce, a pickle (proper dill which made me happy!) and shoestring fries - very nice! (but are you kidding me on the size of that bbq sauce serving though? Of course I had to ask for another one. I'd just prefer if they put a bottle of the stuff on the table so I can drown my sandwich AND fries in it!)
And how could I resist pumpkin pie for dessert! It was lovely, but why oh why did they make it with a crumb crust? It just tasted odd and kinda soggy! But the filling was lovely (even better reheated the next day.....)

It was a lovely night - nice to catch up with friends. The food was good, but like Laura said, not quite as good as the real thing. I'd definitely go there again though. It's a cute little place - only 7 tables - so you HAVE to book - but it's totally worth it for a bit of USA soul food:)
Aren't we some good looking ladies? ;) xo - Meg
ReplyDeleteOh, this makes me soooooo jealous. Nothing like that here in Brussels!
ReplyDeleteRemember Bodean's in Fulham? I loved that they had "Carolina" (spicy vinegar-based) BBQ sauce on the tables. The first time we went in there and I saw it, I almost started crying.
When our waitress brought the food and started telling us about the sauces, I stopped her when she got to the Carolina one. I said something like "You don't need to tell us about this one. We're from North Carolina. We know exactly what that is and I actually would like to give the owner of this place a big fat kiss for recognizing Carolina-style BBQ. God bless him."
:)
Oh yay! It looks like you had a fun night! That bbq pork sandwich looks pretty close to the real thing!
ReplyDeleteI will have to tell Sue that you met up with her niece, Laura. Looks like you are having a really good time. Love you, Mo. In six weeks we will be sitting at a table with you, too. I cannot wait, Love, Mom
