Just Can't Get Enough

Pies and Thighs is so damn good, I know my days are numbered before it gets so crowed or they run out of food and I won't be able to go. They opened in April, so I think by October, I'll have to find another place to go for awesome Southern food. That's why I had to visit for breakfast to get my fill. Ted and I started with a donut to stave off the hunger. Generally, I like a doughy Krispy Kreme style donut better than that cake variety, but now I'm confused. Pies and Thighs donut is so brown and crispy on the outside and the cake inside is tender and delicious, maybe I like cake donuts more now. I also love that they save the donut holes and sell them, too. Waste not, want not!

I actually wanted to get the fried fish and grits, but they were out of fish, so I got the gravy and biscuits. My order was piled high with sausage chunks. They were spicy and delicious on top of their wonderful biscuit. The gravy was just the way I like it. Thinner that the way it's served in Texas or Virginia, so it soaks into the biscuit. Now the biscuits and gravy was good, but it was a little much. I could feel my blood thickening with cholesterol and it felt good.
But I had to soldier on, and I'm glad I did. Ted ordered the hash with eggs and potatoes. Their version is the best I've ever eaten. When I think hash, I think of dog foody mystery meat with potato cubes from a can. I used to love that stuff as a kid, but I wonder if I'd still like it after the tv dinner experience.
The pork was the left over stuff of their pulled pork sandwiches. Smoky and moist, the taste is out of this world. Their potatoes are roasted and their skins are sweet and the starch is almost creamy. I can't tell you how good this place is, you just have to try it.
