JALAPENO CORNBREAD & PICKLES
This low-key downtown spot is a little country and a little hip-hop, with a whole lot of good down-home comfort food. Sons of Essex is warm and inviting with distressed wood and cozy booths reminiscent of old-time smoking clubs. Pictures and knickknacks adorn every possible surface, and the checkered napkins are the perfect country touch.
Instead of boring bread and butter, Jalapeno Cornbread and Pickles are delivered to every table. I'm extremely particular about the texture and taste of cornbread. (My grandfather's cornbread is the only one I can tolerate. Made in a cast-iron skillet the crisp, perfect edges always make me smile.) This cornbread from Sons of Essex is now a close second. Moist with just a hint of spice, I was still dreaming about this loaf the next morning.
