Virgil's Gullah Kitchen

[klflowers]

This past weekend was our Boys Night Out weekend in Atlanta, and we stumbled on this place. They have 3 locations; we visited the West Midtown restaurant. It was outstanding. I had fried okra, smothered pork chops over rice and collard greens. Everything was scratch made. If you are in the area, I highly recommend it. The orangish sauce is a dipping sauce for the okra, the red is hot sauce. Maybe Texas Pete's.

One of my cousins had the Smotha'd Skrimp, which was smothered shrimp with crab gravy over rice, and he had a side of red rice and collards. He inhaled it so fast we were only about halfway done when he finished

Looks awesome. I'm glad you all stumbled on and not stumbled in, to this place. I'll ask my son about a meal there on my next trip to the ATL.

I didn't say we didn't stumble in lol

Crab gravy you say.....wow.

No kidding. That sounds amazing. I have heard of low country Gullah cooking, but I don't know a lot about it. I imagine it has a lot of seafood like the Gulf coast has.

I’ve read a lot of about Gullah cooking. This certainly looks fantastic!

It was fantastic. So much so that we got several of the other guys to go later that day and they were impressed also

Dayum!! Now I have to look up and try my hand at Gullah cooking. And what, no group picture this time? I really enjoy seeing the love and camaraderie of you men. That's what I miss about living in a fire house.

I'll post one later today. I think there was 31 of us in the pic.
