Anybody in the Jackson metro area who finds themself hungry around 12:30 today is free to rendezvous with us at Two Sisters in downtown Jackson.

At dinner the other night we were discussing what type of restaurant we’d open up if we could open any restaurant anywhere and we knew it wouldn’t fail.

We’ve had this question on the blog before, but I always like to hear what people have to say.

Question:

If you could open any restaurant anywhere and we knew it wouldn’t fail, what type of restaurant/eatery would it be?

Everyone’s favorite 24/7 breakfast nook has recently added biscuits. Now… if they would only have pancakes. One would think that pancakes would be an option, seeing as they already have the mix handy (i.e.-waffles). As Mitch Hedberg said: “A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap.”

According to one franchise owner, the reasoning behind the lack of biscuits in the past is obvious: “We’ve never done biscuits because it competed with the waffle,”

Actually… I’m not quite sure that reasoning makes one bit of sense.

TCA notifies us of the collapse. ‘Tis sad… we had many a good lunches there during our working days. Many a good nights there during our college days.

Long-live classy southern cuisine in Clinton.

When you live 2,612 miles from home, access to your favorite foods is… eh… somewhat limited. Therefore, when you head home, you head to the trough to sit at while you chow down. So, as I was headed to the airport yesterday I started thinking about all that I’d consumed over the 5-ish days at home. I got bored at the airport and decided to type a list.

Yes… I was bored.

Question:

If you could have lunch with any three people in history… who would they be?

We were talking last night about the great tradition of “going to the beach” and how nobody outside of the south can truly appreciate our way of going to the beach. You know… lay out all day, go inside to get ready about 4 PM, and then go out to eat at the same great places you’ve gone to for years and years.

Question:

Where’s your favorite place to eat at when you go to the beach?

Has anyone in Jasper eaten at the new restaurant Jasper’s Bayou Fresh Seafood yet? By the way… it’s run by former Walker Viking football player Henri Dang.

Details… please.

Question:

What are you going to have for lunch?

Today for any readers in the Jackson area…

Where: Two Sister’s
When: 12:00 noon
Who: Anybody except people who don’t like Christmas…

If you’re coming, feel free to simply show-up at the time specified. However, if you can, holler so that we’ll know how many seats to save. If it’s cloudy and feels reallyreallyreally good outside then we will be outside at the patio. If not, we’ll be upstairs.

So just walk in, grab a plate, fill ‘er up, and come looking for us.

I’ll be wearing a purple dinosaur suit with pink flip-flops (don’t ask why… it’s a looong story).
