I've been singing at The Georgia Boy Cafe for about seven weeks now (Tuesday nights, from around 7 to 11 p.m., or whenever), and we seem to have worked out a funny system: they pay me and feed me (both quite reasonably) and I keep returning to diet off the excess cash.
:)
With the conflict of interest acknowledged, the reader may just have to check me out on this claim: The Georgia Boy Cafe on the south side of Hagerstown, Maryland serves up a mighty good spread of down home southern cooking, and as the Applewood Grilled Salmon might attest, somebody has been doing the (New) Low Country Cuisine homework or picking up ideas, salmon itself not being particularly southern but lending itself well to to a right saucing in the company of coleslaw and cornbread.
The winter's day: cold with snow flurries.
The motivation in addition to having worked up a marvelous appetite while working on another blog: the landlord had shut off the water in the building for maintenance in the plumbing arena.
- A glass of Penfolds Hyland Shiraz
- A crisp garden salad graced with an oil and vinegar dressing
- Applewood grilled salmon served over white rice with coleslaw and cornbread sides (well, I started out healthy)--all of that served on a hot plate!
- A grown-ups house "Iced Caramel Macchiato"
- A positively mouth melting "Chocolate Orea Cheesecake
- A deep, strong, hot cup of Javarama coffee
My ambitions in music may have to go on to produce more than I can spend back at The Georgia Boy Cafe, for most certainly--and this for friendly atmosphere and gracious service as well as the strong southern cookin' (and bartendin')--I'll be stopping in regularly to eat for some time to come.
