Lunch today was at the South Dallas Cafe, located at 3126 Grand Ave. They are located on the east side of Grand, going south from Fair Park. Like old-fashioned home-style cooking? Well, stop talking about it and go have some! They may have the best greens I have ever put in my mouth. The hotwater cornbread is pretty good.
We got there early for lunch today. The Chicken-Fried Steak had been held too long on the steam table. No one cooks CFS the way it needs to be cooked. Everyone does deep-fried these days, which is a pity. I haven't had a real CFS since Jeanie's Bishop Grill closed (years ago now...the space is now Hunky's in the Bishop Arts District).
The vegtable choices today had 2 types of sweet potatoes. I avoid any sweet potato that is cowering under the protective cover of miniature marshmallows. Their other sweet potato is candied but my hope was that the candied concept was perhaps less aggressively applied than with the other choice. It was interesting. I think it had crushed pineapple in the sauce. Pumpkin-pie spices and crushed pineapple.
They also have a store out in Oak Cliff. I keep meaning to go to that one. It is the one with the website. It is a little confusing because there is no mention in the website of the original store, located in South Dallas! http://www.southdallascafe.com/index.html
If you go, take a drive back through The Cedars. There is always something new being done down there. You need to go take a look! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedars,_Dallas,_Texas
