After practice with Edie Sedgwick, Hannah, Hash and I tried to go to dinner at reader-suggested Busboys and Poets, but the wait was 25 minutes. So we wandered across the street into Eatonville.
The restaurant is named after Zora Neale Hurston’s hometown…
…with a very NOLA-inspired theme.
I ordered two sides – the Butternut Squash Hash and Brussels Sprouts…
…lots of this stellar hot sauce on top.
The squash was particularly good – because it was SWIMMING in butter n sugar…
…so was Hannah’s Mac n Cheese…
…with spiral pasta!!!
Also traded bites of my order for some Gumbo…
…and the appetizer-portion of Scallops with Root Slaw.
Hash spared me one of his corn muffins for sopping up extra syrup/sauce.
There’s no written dessert menu, but everything they had (from Peach Cobbler to Key Lime Cheesecake) sounded appealing. We got the Coconut Layer Cake, and it rocked – super duper moist and perfectly sweet…
…split 3 ways.
It was great to be reminded of one of my favorite cities.
