Sorry the fried chicken was a bit of a disappointment but everything else looks phenomenal. Southern food isn't something I can really cook or that we can get very often so Homecoming is always a favorite of ours. Those biscuits especially are pure perfection!
My family is southern, and I gre up eating my Great Grandmother and Grandpa's cooking. Luckily I picked stuff up from them, as well as a great book by the owner of Callie's Southern Biscuits. Homecomin's biscuits were really good. All of the sides and apps were fantastic.
I can so go for that Homecoming Mac and Cheese and Hummingbird Cake.
That mac n' cheese was so good. The only one better is at Hominy Grill in Charleston South Carolina. I want to try the Shine cake so bad. Mike loves the Hummingbird cake too.
Catching up...
I really enjoy the beverage seminars - particularly when it’s either the winemaker or one of the owners/family who is presenting. But the pours are kinda silly. I get its $20 or whatever it is now but if you’re just following along with the presenter you need more than two teeny-tiny sips to appreciate what they’re saying and trying to highlight about the wine.
La Hacienda is one of my favorites too. I’ve eyed the corn soup but not tried it yet... will fix that next time!
Ah, California Grill. So good. And a great way to see Hallowishes without a party ticket.
Sorry you weren’t terribly impressed with the chicken at Homecomin’. The chicken thigh biscuits are my favorite but if you didn’t like the chicken might not be your thing. Those biscuits though... I think I saw recently that they’ve added some new menu items as well.
You are so right about the wine seminar. If you are not really a wine drinker, I guess a small taste would be enough. One can't even begin to discover the complexity of flavors the wine/champagne has to offer in such a small sip. You make a good point.
Take the plunge. Try that corn soup.TDF!
CG is the best Hallowishes seat available for me.
I intend to try the chicken and biscuits. The combination might make it better for me. I didn't think the chicken was bad really. I have just had better. The biscuits are lovely. I wish that Ham biscuit was still on the menu.
