Australian Meat Pie!?!?!

Nope - not a description of my boyfriend (sigh)...it's some sort of down-unda spin on a chicken pot pie, sans winged foul. The title is misleading; while I was intrigued by Australian meat - I went for lighter fare at Rush and had breakfast.

In fact, it was called a "Light Start" comprised of avocado and tomato atop a thick (yea buddy) toast, seasoned with cracked pepper and lime juice. It was simple, flavorful and hit the spot!! What was even more interesting was the latte I ordered - it came in a pint glass. WTF!?! I was perplexed as to how to drink it - is it a beer; is it coffee who knew?? Until you grab the damn thing to take your first guzzle and nearly drop it...which is a kin to spilling your favorite cocktail - I've heard capital punishment ensues if caught!! All worked out well and I had a peaceful day of blogging once a very wise sage brought me a coffee holder thingy for my glass o' java.

More importantly than the food - the atmosphere was pleasant and the service was excellent. I will definitely be back for some meat pie (I think I just drooled on myself a lil' bit).

For now - I give #RushEspresso a 4 glass rating (is that wrong on a Sunday afternoon) until I can taste more menu items...did I mention the Australian Meat Pie??

They don't call them DEVILled eggs for nothin'!!

Seriously - so delish until the digestive process begins....any one else feel the wrath of the devilled egg???  I digress - today I highlight #TheKingsKitchen!! My team went there yesterday for lunch and it was fabulous!!! First - even if it wasn't - the mission alone is heartwarming and makes me want to work there!!

Back to the food......1 word, 2 syllables:  YEEE - UM!!! 😄

We started with fried okra, pimento cheese and the most yeummy cracker-like thing to dip into the cheese....but wait! There's more!! We had (a-hem) devilled eggs...THEN a biscuit from heaven followed by blackened salmon (as my friend says, "saL mon"), green beans that tasted like my grandma's and cream corn that I had never seen prepared that way (it was a bit chunkier than I've had in the past - but it was awesome)!! Oh - and finally there was Mac-n-cheese. I'm stuffed just typing about it. See for yourself:

Without a doubt this place gets a 5 glass and a titch rating for it's deliciously fattening southern food and God driven mission to help make the world a better place for those who are fighting their inner demons - or battling homelessness. Cheers to you King's Kitchen!!
