Southern Comfort

If there's one thing a true Southerner knows, it's that there's nothing quite like our comfort food. You know the kind I'm talking about: mac and cheese, meatloaf, and fried okra-the stuff your Nanny or momma used to make. That's exactly what I found last Friday at Rome's Harvest Moon Cafe. I walked in expecting to order a sandwich, but found meatloaf on their menu. I'm a sucker for some meatloaf. Then to sweeten the deal, there were sides like mac and cheese, sweet potato soufflé, fried okra, and their own spicy cornbread. I was sold. As you can see, I helped myself to this amazing Southern feast. The mac and cheese was perfect-not too creamy, but ultra cheesy. The sweet potato was truly sweet. The cornbread, not too spicy, and cake-like in texture. The fried okra, however, was average, but that was my only complaint. That day I left with a full belly and a new spot to indulge at.
