On my way to South Beach!
Yardbird Southern Table and Bar was recommended to me by the lovely Jennifer Ortiz of Bits of Beauty. The restaurant was totally my style, aesthetically and menu-wise; Southern Hospitality at its finest MMMMMMM! Jeff McInnis is the executive chef was raised in a town called NICEVILLE (of course I had to capitalize that) and the Chef de Cuisine, Phillip Bryant, grew up exposed to home-cookin’ daydreams courtesy of Virginia. The two make a tasteful team combining Southern cuisine and localized farming (blah blah blah… THE FOOD IS SO GOOD!) Point in case:
Gowgeous Miss Jenn!
Mama’s Chicken Biscuits: Free-range fried chicken, pepper jelly, pickles, housemade buttermilk biscuit
Chilled Watermelon: Spiced with pepper, tossed with lemon and herbs
Shrimp n’ Grits: Florida shrimp, crisp Virginia ham, Adluh SC stone ground grits
The branding is handled by 50 Eggs Inc. (hence the killer type and design everywhere!)
