The Lady and Sons

You can't plan a trip to Savannah without planning a trip to The Lady and Sons which is the restuarant run by Paula Deen, when she is not busy traveling, working on her cooking show or being a grandmother. Unfortunately, everyone else visiting Savannah feels the same way. We went there on Sat to inquire about lunch and the line was huge. We asked about making reservations for the next day but they dont take reservations til the day of. You have to show up at 9:30am to get a reservation for when they open. Luckily Barb and Bernadette were willing to get up, me, not so much, LOL. We had a reservation for when they opened at 11am along with everyone else in line. Although we were 15th on the list they seat according to their needs and I think the fact that we had an odd number hindered us because they called about 30 people before us but finally our name was called and we were allowed into the promised land, LOL. Thank goodness it was a brunch buffet so we were able to get our food right away, well, we had to wait in line for that but it moved. The fried chicken was phenomenal, as if there was any doubt. Let me tell you what else is piled on the plate, macaroni and cheese (you can see the strings of cheese with the mac) and mashed potatoes that tasted like butter, yum! Also wonderful were the lima beans, the creamed corn (so sweeet I thought sugar was added but Barb says the corn was just that sweet), the collard greens, the black eyed peas (I ate some of Barb's). I don't like meatloaf normally but hers was pretty good, that would be the gooey stuff on the right under the cream sauce, LOL. The pork was the only thing I had that didn't wow me.

They also walked around putting fresh parmesan garlic biscuits on your plate and oat cakes. I only had a nibble of the biscuit cause I had no room and skipped the oat cake. The biscuit was wonderfully cheesy. Barb says you could taste the butter on the oat cake, are you surprised? You know I ate myself silly. This was southern cooking at it's most artery clogging best! Waiting to get in is a pain but they have three floors and are used to dealing with the volume. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, one of the waitresses sang a song for everyone. It was a gospel song and she was this tiny white girl, very pleasing but I kept eating while everyone else clapped, I didn't want my food to get cold, LOL.
