We finally saw some sunshine this weekend and got outside a bit. We headed to Charlotte and met up with our daughter for lunch at a place called Tupelo Honey Cafe. It was a nice little place in the South End of Charlotte.
They started us off with a plate of warm biscuts and jelly. Then I started off with my first ever Mimosa.
I’m not real sure what all is in a Mimosa except champagne and orange juice, but I have always wanted to try one.
For the meal, I ordered one of my Southern favorites. Fried Green Tomatoes with basil, goat cheese grits, and roasted red pepper coulis.
Our daughter had the Slow-Roasted Pork Grilled Cheese white cheddar, smoked jalapeno bbq sauce, on pumpernickel bread (not pictured). And Nick chose the veggie burger with a side of Beer City Chicken Chili.
I loved the rustic atmomphere that gives you a warm cozy feel. They also have a large outdoor sitting area to enjoy on a warm day under a covered porch. The food was delicious and the staff worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed.
Afterwards we took a walk around the area. The temperature was in the 60’s and the streets were packed with people wanting to get out and enjoy the pretty day.
What is the weather like in your area? Is it unseasonably warm like it is here in the Carolinas?
But hey, I’m not complaining. I could live where it stays warm year-round. I love it.
