Catfish for breakfast?

In probably what used to be the most notorious part of Tacoma is a tiny cafe called the "Southern Kitchen" Yep, just passed the "Welcome to Hilltop" sign at the intersection of 6th and Sprague sits this place and apparently the Food Network has visited here as well as some of the other joints we've been to. Well just like the name states its full of southy type food, they have Liver and onions for breakfast two eggs and browns to boot,none of us ordered it ,Heck no! but I thought I'd bring it up.Msue had CFS, the meat had grilled onions on top and then topped with pretty good gravy,she had of course, eggs scrambled "well done"side o salsa.. Ice T w/lemon, I bet I could order for her at any place, she doesn't steer to clear of her favs!Buuut no salsa, she was a bit perplexed as to why no salsa, but we assume that in the south where there's hot sauce aplenty, no salsa. too mexican I guess., but the Ice T came in a quart jar, unsweetened for her of course. They have plenty of sweet tea versions however, strawberry, peach, as well as lemonade all topped with whipped cream! They like things sweet down south!SMOJ Val ordered French toast,two eggs scrambled,chunk o ham, and had H2O instead of her small oj, Weird huh? quite frankly she didn't much care for her meal, the eggs were dry, the ham was kinda sweet and spicy, it just wasn't smoj's day . HTK of course started with Hot T and ordered a Hot link sausage and cheddar omlette,{Which was gonna be my choice} with browns and toast,{no rye bread sorry Ken}, it looked like about a six egg affair,plenty big, but not much kick from the hot links, Ken exclaimed! I thought well as long as I'm in the South, yeh ok South Tacoma, might as well try to fit in,so I ordered Catfish and Eggs Y'all , and I gotta tell ya, I liked it! the fish was light and crispy, the eggs were over medium perfect and what browns I got were pretty good{not real generous with the taters} I should have just gone all South on em and ordered me up some grits, cuz at the Southern Kitchen they come with everything , oh well maybe next time, If there is indeed a next time, My meal was pretty good, the other members of theFF, were not to impressed hugely. The coffee here was not that good ,really just basic cafe type , not great, but not too good either... get my drift? I dont know what it is bout restaurants and their Jo, but I can only assume when you pour that much in a day maybe its too spendy to buy quality... this is one of those times when I guess most people like this type of swill so "quantity over quality"wins out. Will we go back ? Yeh I might , gotta try the Grits! tune in next week boys and girls, and see where the "Famished Four " strike next, might try the Hobnobber Bar, cross from Wright Park , we ate there a long time ago and I think it was pretty good. other places in our site are The Maltby Cafe, maybe Beths,I wonder what Beths food taste like when your not hungover and 21, which was probably the last time I was there! All I know is were gonna go somewhere, and lotsa times we dont know till sunday morn!
