Little Tea Shop

By "Trading David"

Much lauded place I've never tried downtown. The first time I went AC Wharton was present. Thought about asking if he wanted to be my new obf but decided against it, and after the last time I think if we try that again it will be in another city.
Had the vegetable plate which was quite good. The much lauded Turnip greens were indeed quite special. So were the sweet potatoes.
Had the peach cobbler for dessert which seemed solid.
The second time I tried the meatload, which was decent considering I'm not a meatloaf fan. The gravy lacked the typical tomato of most meatloafs which I liked as I find tomato sauce and meat to clash in many cases. The corn bread sticks were nice and crunchy as well.
The split pea soup I had before was also quite hardy. I liked how the broth was quite salty, which means it probably will be too salty for most people.

I also pondered how a lunch plate place calls itself a tea shop and wondered if it evolved from the Southern urge for faux aristocracy.
