There is something comforting about going to the same old restaurant. The owners and the waiters greet you like old friends. It feels similar to sitting in an old comfortable chair. But Ken and I like to try new restaurants so we are always looking for the new and the unusual. Ken is excellent about looking up the new places. He checks out the reviews and decides if it is a place worth our time and money. This past week we hit the jackpot.
Sunday morning we ate at Table 100 in Flowood. We asked Christina if she knew of any new restaurant for brunch and she mentioned Table 100 in addition to several others. Ken and I had never even heard of it although it turned out to be one of the best restaurants in town. Both the food and the service were excellent. Along with the linen table clothes and the wandering jazz musicians, we all 6 decided that it was a keeper.
On Friday, the weather was excellent so after Ken and I visited the drug store, we decided to drive up Highway 51 to have lunch at The Trace Cafe. Ken had read about it but we had never dined there because we could not find it, even though we were using the GPS. But I had gotten directions so this time we were not to be denied and we ate a delicious lunch. The restaurant advertises itself as being Italian but the menu may be just a bit Italian and the rest southern. We ate ribs and brought half home.
I suspect Molly prefers to have brunch at the tried and true. Left to her own devices she often selects The Yacht Club. We like it too but we prefer to take a chance on the new places. Fortunately, new restaurants are always opening, which keeps us happy. We are easily amused.
