Supporting Local Restaurants

We have been getting food at a local restaurant about 1 night per week.

Last week we tried a new local restaurant that we haven't been to in person called Francis & Mount.  It's an upscale restaurant in design of interior and food, but moderate prices - especially on their sandwiches.  They've been doing amazing outreach to the community during this crisis (hot dogs at the truck stop, free meals to the hospital, staying open for 24 hours so those working on off shifts can get food) which was another reason we wanted to support them.

Kevin got the "Montgomery" sandwich - roasted beef with giardiniera, pepper jack, pickles and dijon.  I had a grilled chicken sandwich with jalapeno jelly (yes!) and swiss.  We got a side of mac & beer cheese and french fries with aioli.  They delivered to our house in about 20 minutes!


We give it a thumbs up and will try it again.

This week we ordered from Cracker Barrel.  We don't eat there a lot, but we have a favorite Sunday chicken dinner.  Some of the best chicken I have ever had.  They are currently offering that as one of their family meals to go.  It comes with 6 of the boneless chicken breasts, 2 family sides, and 8 biscuits.  We got hashbrown casserole (Camden's favorite) and dumplings.  Kevin and Camden also requested apple butter.  Kevin had to go pick it up, but it was ready in 15 minutes and was still warm when he got home with it.


In addition, the bonus in ordering this right now is they include 4 breakfast bowls for free!  These are hashbrown casserole, gravy, bacon, and cheese that heat up in 1 minute in the microwave.  I am not usually a fan of their hashbrown casserole or their gravy, but this was a delicious breakfast while I worked on budget figures for work.  Camden wants them every morning.

The amazing thing about this order is that we ate 2 suppers and 1 breakfast for all of us from it, plus a 3rd supper for Camden.  What a bargain!

All good to know! Funny that I don't like CB gravy or hashbrown casserole either:).
