Another WB-less Sunday

Hattie's Restaurant

I must admit, I'm running a little behind. The summer has overcome me and I've been neglecting my duties. Most importantly, that The WB has officially opened 7 days a week starting this past Sunday (7/27), but the rainy Sunday prior (7/20), I ventured to Hattie's with Robin (my Technical Director) for the ultimate comfort meal.

Ok, so I do remember eating fried chicken as a child and really enjoying it and Robin wanted to join me as I relived the experience. Once he heard I was eating meat, he insisted on being the first to take me to Hattie's Restaurant. Yup, that's the Hattie's (Chef/Owner Jasper Alexander) that kicked Bobby Flay's ass in the Showdown!

The Eats

We met in the cozy courtyard of this historic restaurant and started our meal with a couple of Mojitos (I needed a mojito to redeem the disastrous beverage a local sports bar, 'Peabody's', called a 'mojito') and a bread basket with biscuits and cornbread. The mojito was refreshing and garnished superbly with mint, lime and sugar cane. The cornbread was alright, a little dry, and the biscuits were soft and buttery (read: heavenly).

Hattie's Famous Fried Chicken

They've used the same recipe 1938!

Entrées come with your choice of 2 sides. Both Robin and I ordered the Cucumber Salad, which was simply incredible and the Mashed Potatoes.

There was a lot of food - enough to enjoy some cold leftovers for lunch on Monday! There will definitely be a repeat performance...I'm thinking the Creole Jambalaya next...
