From Dallas, TX to Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA -- Part 2

    • Papillote - French Cuisine To Go

        • The Melted Angel- smokey brisket, red wine shallots and melted pepper jack cheese on toasted brioche. **BEST SAMMY EVER**
        • Chic Chicken Salad- baby greens topped with grilled chicken breast, crisy polenta, feta cheese, and roasted red bell peppers with a shallot & parsley vinagerette.
        • We took our food and ate it on a bench on the river!

    • Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room 
      • What we ordered:
        • This restaurant was very different than the rest. We stood in line for about an hour and a half and once we got inside the restaurant we sat at a table with about 8 other people and we're served family style. There were probably about 15 different dishes to choose from (crazy amount of food). Once we were finished we took our plates into the kitchen to be washed! Very fun experience....the wait is totally worth it!
        • We were served fried chicken, bbq beef, mac & cheese, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, butter beans, baked beans, black eyed peas, okra and tomatoes, corn bread, biscuits, creamed corn, green beans, greens, etc.

        • 1/2 dozen cookes- oatmeal scotchies (YUM), monster cookies, ginger cookies, and chocolate chip.
        • Featured in Southern Living, Country Living, Cooking with Paula Deen, and the Savannah Morning News.
  • What We Did For Fun
    • Walked around the historic district (there are lots of very old historic buildings and houses)
    • Shopped (there are little shops & boutiques everywhere)
    • Walked around the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD)
    • Went to Tybee Island
    • Took a carriage tour around the historic district
