i have heard much about aunt kizzy's back porch and how it was so good yadda yadda yadda. i have never eaten there primarily because i did not know where glencoe was. aunt kizzy's, however, moved from its former location on glencoe to washington boulevard where the killer shrimp used to be. so, because i knew exactly where the new location was, i went. finally.
let me begin with the corn bread. i really liked it. i don't know if it was the hunger (the last time i ate anything at that point was 16 hours before, i.e., dinner) or if it was truly good. but this i can tell you: it was warm, buttery, had a slight crunch on the outside and yummy soft goodness on the inside. i can also say that it was better than the corn bread at roscoe's chicken and waffles.
after consuming two cornbread, i ordered the 2 entrees, 2 sides of fried chicken and smothered pork chop, and sides of green beans and mac n cheese. perhaps i was satiated at this point but i found that the fried chicken at honey's kettle was juicier and crispier. aunt kizzy's chicken was crispy and juicy, just not as those from honey's kettle. the smothered pork chop was tender, although i have decided that i am not into anything smothered. that includes smothered potatoes or smothered me. the mac n cheese was also good but the green beans were a bit too buttery.
now d had the ribs. as i don't eat the cow, i didn't taste it. but d claims that it was really good. and i saw that the meat was falling off the bone. so it seemed good.
i was happy i went. but i probably won't be visiting aunt kizzy's anytime soon.
lesson learned? nothing smothered.
