aw...our favorite food guy was going home when we walked into wishFULL tonight...that guy really knows how to cook!
Many tables full of diners tonight...the kitchen seems to be rolling out dishes on a good schedule.
Breakfast for dinner-lots of choices...an omelet plus an item from column 1 and one from column 2 - John's going with this one--or 1 item from each of the four columns....or, ooh, gluten free breakfast sammies served on a cake of cheese grits----that's for me!
A veggie omelet with a biscuit and gravy and spinach hashbrowns fill out John's order; I'm going with the pulled pork 'sammie' served on a grits cake with sour cream, salsa, egg, & cilantro.
John didn't even color the paper tablecloth with the crayons tonight...so far, so good 
[I forgot my color Sharpies]
Our meals arrived after a bit and, of course, it was too much food. But we did our best.
John's veggie omelet was full of mushrooms, onion, red and green peppers. The side of spinach hashbrowns was gorgeous---with lots of spinach tonight. Yummy.
My pulled pork 'sammie' was not quite what I expected. The pulled pork had apparently been deep fried--so it had the taste of fryer oil. That was a little disappointing. And I couldn't figure out what was missing, but no egg appeared anywhere on my plate. But there was more than enough options on my plate...not to worry.
The grits cake was totally fabulous. Creamy in the center, with a nicely browned external and just enough fried crunch to keep you coming back for another bite. I opted for a side of fresh fruit--yup, the grapes had actually been washed! The big pieces of fresh pineapple were delish, as were the abundant blueberries--too many to count. Salsa and sour cream rounded out the players---each adding it's flavor and texture to the experience.
Overall, this meal rated 3 out of 5 stars. The high points were the wonderful spinach hashbrowns, the really fresh fruit, an attractive veggie omelet and wishFULLY great grits cake. The downsides were the missing egg, the deep fried pork (didn't really need to be fried) and a rather ordinary biscuit and gravy. The meal would have scored 4 if not for the pork and if an egg in any style had arrived with its friends on the plates.
But wishFULL offers many selections not found in most of the other reasonably priced dining places around town. We continue to be huge fans of the butternut squash voodles with gorgonzola cream and the many ways you can put a meal together - columns of choices to mix and match. We're going to keep working our way through the menu--this was actually the first time I noticed the gluten free 'sammies' served on grits cakes...there were a couple of other 'sammie' options---we'll invite one of them into our mouths next time.
wishFULL--still a solid choice.
