the gritty truth

What's for dinner? Why come to Beachside Cafe, my friends! And that's just what we did.

Speedy chose the fish & chips... the fish fillets fell apart at the touch of a fork. The fries are the soft and salty sort, not the crispy shoestrings type that kids go crazy for. All in all, this plate got a thumbs from Speedy.

Driver tried the chicken and waffles, my Beachside favorite, for the first time. Everyone agreed that these superbly breaded chicken cutlets beat out Little Skillet's fried chicken and waffles.

Snapshot and I both tried the beer-can chicken, marinated in Guinness beer and served with brussel sprouts and cheesy bacon grits. The chicken was pretty good and had an intriguingly savory flavor. The brussel sprouts were not bitter (yes!) and once again, the grits survived my appetite. There's something about that incarnation of cornmeal that really fills you up... as Driver laughed, he used to think grits were prison food.

Oh, what would my cousins in Georgia think of that!
