Scott "The Creative" T.'s Profile

Even after countless times telling them I had a garden (I even called them) they went and sprayed it.  Now months worth of labor is ruined.

"Finest Southern Food" is a tall order and you've already set the bar up to fail.

Frankie's looked to be a cute little place that advertised finest southern foods and produce.  When I pulled up they said "fresh vine ripened tomatoes" which sort of perplexed me because I don't know anyone that can grow tomatoes around these parts during this wintery season...

I walked in, it's a little confusing where to order your food, once I figured it out...I quickly realized this was "any southern grease pit" as it had fried catfish with extra batter, some meat things wrapped in bacon and their vegetables were mac-n-cheese and fresh greens drizzled in an buttery like water.  And of course, your choice of cornbread or a biscuit.

When I sat down I looked up at the TV which predictably had Fox News playing. So I got to eat my double battered fried catfish with a healthy dosage that Obama was Hitler and Palin was Jesus' secret baby.  USA!

I went over to the produce section.  They had a lot of seasonal stuff but the tomatoes still perplexed me.  To boast a little southern store with homegrown produce and then have food that probably came 1500 miles away was kind of a downer.

The staff was friendly, the prices were okay but it just had no "wow" factor and I could have gone all day without seeing Rupert Murdoch's  media machine spitting out "Oceana has always been at war  with Eastasia." (Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of CNN either...I think both put a damper on food when trying to eat).

I would love to have been a patron of this place hoping for a great organic selection of southern foods, helping the local community...but there just didn't seem to be much "local" about it.

Rojo is a lot like Taqueria Del Sol in Atlanta.  It's pretty good, great atmosphere and always super slammed.  I love their fish tacos...I wish they'd ramp up the beer selection though.

Some interesting flavor of people are to be seen, too.

Bottletree is a great little venue for the 'Ham.  I've always enjoyed going there and their soups are to DIE for.  It's cheap, too!

For oysters, this place is kinda great.  I'm not sure if they carry the gourmet beers now, but their selection was pretty good.  I *highly* recommend going for happy hour as they have terrific deals.

This is some pretty fancy smancy Mexican.  If you go, ask for a bucket of the green sauce.  It's delish!

Kinda pricey but ooooh so good.  They even have tamales.  I never find a Mexican restaurant that carries those!

I'm starting to make an organic garden.  I've been reading a few books and decided to try my hands and growing two herbs (we've been growing herbs for a while, but hydroponically).  

Today I went there and "Wynn" who was there helped me out, answered all my questions and now I have some pretty rosemary and parsley sitting in the window.

Great place to go!

Eh...it's nothing special but we eat there all the time. The food is good, but nothing to scream about. I like that you can order things a la cart.

I had a chili relleno tonight... I was expecting it to be hotter.

So Taziki's is nothing uber-special but the food is fine for the money.  I like going here in a pinch and don't want fast food (I consider this medium food).  

Tasty.  Try the dolmades, they are to die for!

This place is awesome.  One would not think Pelham would have much in the way of culture and hipster, but Pleasure All Wine is a must.  They have wine tastings, the latest in high gravity beers, events and so on.  

If you are in the area, this is a MUST!
