This weekend, I went to a newly opened restaurant in Seattle called Blackboard Bistro. It was cozy and quaint, and the food was comforting and delicious. The dish that drew me there was Frogmore stew, also known as a low country boil. It's a one-pot mix of seasoned corn, potatoes, shrimp and sausage, normally served up in coastal areas of Georgia and South Carolina. It's a dish I grew up with, so I was shocked and thrilled to find it on a menu in Seattle. I have to say, it hit the spot as did the beer-battered okra and the cherry upside-down cake with white chocolate ginger ice cream. The menu is ever-changing (since it's just written in chalk), so I'll have to go back again soon.
YUM! That looks delicious! I love restaurants and cafes tthat display their menu on blackboards!
