The summer is upon us, and when the summer arrives, it brings a few mandatory things with it; bikinis, sundresses, and…diets. Like many of you, I’m dieting myself, trying to fit into (if at all possible) a few cute pieces this season.That being said, I’m lying in bed last night, body wretched from hunger pains, when I flip across the Food Network's show "Meat & Potatoes". Of course I had to stop and salivate at the juicy, moist, plump, fat, chicken breast staring back at me from the TV screen. Next up, the collards, then the Mac & cheese, and finally the jalapeno corn bread. Just as I thought, “oh my god, this place is amazing; too bad it’s probably half way across the country and I’ll never get to visit it”: I heard them say it was in Atlanta
Visions of macaroni danced in my head all nite, and the only thing I could think about this morning on my way to work was “hurry up lunchtime, I gotta find that chicken”. It took me 25 minutes to get there, 6 minutes in and out, which of course included me talking to Robert and Sharon Carver-the owners, 3 minutes to snap a few pics, and I was on my way.
(If you blink you’ll miss it; it sits in an old corner grocery store right smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood).
Once back at work, I couldn’t wait to bite into my food. The “Dolly Parton Fried Chicken Breast” (not kidding, that’s its name) was everything I’d hoped for; crispy, moist, and juicy. It could’ve stood a little more seasoning for my liking, but overall it was delectable. The Mac & cheese-creamy and moist, the collards/turnips mix-sweet, tender, and good. And the cornbread was wonderful too.
I’m telling yall, the meal cost me $12, but it was more than enough; a friend and I shared it and I was beyond stuffed. So if you get a chance to get down there, and you want some good eating, visit Carter’s Country Kitchen. You won’t be disappointed.
