Southern Fried Pork Chop
Could’ve used more mashed potatoes and less greens. Pork chop was delicious.

Southern Fried Pork Chop
I love the taste and size of the chop and the idea of cabbage as a side but its preparation didn’t wow me. In addition, the potatoes were bland and not creamy/buttery enough.

Double Cheese Smash Burger
Burger and sauce were very tasty. The bun was totally smushed and one of the pices of cheese had turned all liquid like so scraped that off.
