This prix fixe menu for $47 starts with a Shrimp Gumbo featuring andouille sausage, dirty Rice and fried Okra. Entrée include Smothered Chicken with melted pepper and onions, warm potato salad or Cider-Glazed Pork Chop with mustard barbecue pork shoulder, sweet potato hash, collards and apple sauce.
