Feed Us and Read Us: Mmmm. Mmmmm. Good.

Arnold's Country Kitchen was recommended to us by someone we sat by at Silly Goose (more on that fab place later). That's not surprising. All we do is talk about food.

Don't be sketched out by its multi-colored cinder-block exterior. You will roll out of this joint because your belly will be so full. Get in line (usually out the door), grab a tray, and shout to Franz what goodness you want heaped on your plate. PS-Franz is the owner's son. Nice guy. Marie tried to set Darcie up with him (but did we mention he looks 17? But that's for a different blog).

Arnold's is a classic meat and three with daily specials like meatloaf, roast beef, chicken and noodles, and other soul soothing comfort foods. The main courses are great, but their sides are why we come. Mac and cheese, greens (best ever), fried green tomatoes, and candied yams... Beware: you must leave room for dessert because you can't pass up the caramel pie, chess pie, or banana cream pie. If you don't leave room, you might explode.

PPS-We're not the only ones who think this place is great. They were featured on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives."
