This photo comes from the lovely Erin Foy, reporting from Mary Mac's Tea Room in Atlanta Georgia. She dined there earlier today.
Mary Mac's is an Atlanta institution that serves home cooked meals using real lard and animal fat. Erin tells me that she had the veggie plate, featuring a choice of any 4 side dishes. She had "fried green tomatoes, kick ass mac n cheese, hoppin john (black eyed peas with rice) and sweet potato souffle. Peach cobbler for dessert!" The peach cobbler isn't pictured here.
Just looking at this picture makes me want to run to the kitchen immediately and make mac n cheese. I've never had Hoppin' John but it sounds right up my alley. In all likelihood, you will be seeing homemade mac & cheese and Hoppin' John on my blog in the next week.
Thanks Erin!
