Fraiche Food Friday: Recent Eats

 Across the street from my office is Tennessee’s – a barbeque place that is 

frequented by a coworker that is actually from Tennesse.

Needless to say, it was about time I got around to a taste.

My plate was loaded with the Bbq Dixie Chicken, Baked Mac & Cheese,

Killer Corn Bread and Cucumber Salad.

The chicken: well-seasoned, flavorful and moist. I only wish I weren’t

 so bashful about eating with my fingers (I usually refrain in public. Just personal choice.)

 Killer Mac & Cheese: I like mine a bit creamier and a bit less firm. Though 

this version was enjoyable for one that has been baked, thus zapping a fair

amount of its moisture.

Corn Bread: Now my mother is from the South, Georgia in fact. I love me some 

Southern comfort food, have eaten at Paula D’s Lady & Sons restaurant and know

better than to mess with Texas. In short, an endless ramble, this cornbread was

like taking a bite of a piece I got from my mama with tiniest dashes of sugar.

Cucumber Salad: this was a combination of sweet and nearly tart pickled 

perfection. The tiniest slivers of fresh red onion added a nice flavor while

the marinade which the side dish was doused in made this an instant favorite of mine.

 I was greeted by the sweetest hostess who gave me wonderful recommendations

based on her favorites (I often as this in the least intrusive manner possible.)

This is definitely a place to pop by for a timely lunch. 

A+ for service and speed.

The decor was somewhat like some of the backyard bbq’s I have previously

attended down to the rolls of brown paper towels that served as the source

of napkins, three flavors of bbq sauce bottled and ready for purchase.

B- for authenticity.
