    I ordered my lil' sister's fav "crazy cake" for her birthday party. It is a marbleized cake made of batters from all the cakes in the bakery section. Delicious & absolutely beautiful! Thank you! ❤️

    Sunday brunch at this Mid-City gem is a good time. Not only is there a DJ spinning nostalgic Hip Hop and R&B, there's also a delicious menu of Southern-style dishes that you'll be craving days later. Read more

    The creole shrimp with corn grits are amazing. I also love their braised greens, biscuits and honey, and pretty much anything they serve.

    Grits is a trending taste this week, so head over to the Southern-inspired eatery My Two Cents for their twist on the breakfast classic: grit fries.

    If you don't get the BLT, get the BBQ ceasar. The lemonade is always good, if they master the mac n' cheese this spot will be unstoppable.
