A picky eater with lots of allergies and her family review Jack Flats
Fish ‘n Chips
Completely Drained
Dan, being a lover of the sea and all its creatures, ordered the Fish ‘n Chips. Fresh fish fried in a homemade beer batter, Dan added a generous portion of salt and pepper before his first bite. Not a fan of beer batter in general, he expressed his delight that it was only a thin layer. The tender fish was of an unknown species, but Dan was too tired and too hungry to care. He expected a fresh catch and that is exactly what he got. He rated his dish at four stars because of the beer batter, so I imagine anyone who loves a nice beer batter would have rated this meal a five.
Dolphin Sandwich
Chicken of the Sea
I often talk about my daughter, but I also have a son who was eager to partake in this month’s Burger Adventure. Scott is a foodie like his dad and loves trying new and exotic foods. Not that the South is particularly exotic, but there are definitely some new tastes to be tried. He eyed the fried green tomatoes, then dug right in. Impressed, he exclaimed, “Wow!” then proceeded to devour them all. A bit of fried onion layed on top of the tomatoes added an unusual texture and taste. This was Scott’s first fried green tomato experience and he surely enjoyed it. Another delicacy of the South is Sweet Tea. This is not available anywhere in New England and I do not know how far south one needs to travel to order this special drink, but Scott loves it. Whenever we travel, if it’s on the menu, it’s ordered. As for the pork, Scott has only had it grilled (because that’s how we do things in the North), but this was different. Sweet tea marinated, possibly braised, smoked, hot, juicy, and tender. All the things Scott loves. He forgot to dip the pork into the dish of homemade barbecue sauce, but, desperate to try it, he grabbed a chunk of bread from the basket in the center of the table and devoured that too. His only complaint: my rating system only has five stars. He really wanted to give a million.
