Pancakes with warm maple butter & wild Maine blueberries - $16



Today I decided to go and try Clinton Street Baking Company that I've seen showcased on the Food Network Channel and try the much herald pancakes.  Well I arrived around 12:46, waited almost 1 hour to be seated.  And people were willing to wait 1 hour, 1 & 1/2 hours from what I saw.  While waiting I met this absolutely fabulous woman from Brazil name Natalie.  She made the rest of my wait a pleasure.  When I was text that my table was ready, I went in and decided that since Natalie wait was also over I ask her did she want to share a table and she did.  We had such a marvelous time, the conversation just flowed.  We ended up exchanging telephone numbers which I will stay in touch.  

We both order pancakes and let me tell you, it was worth the wait.  Fluffy, soft, tasty, just down right good.  And let me tell the maple butter just topped it.  The fresh blueberries!  I could not eat everything, so I have to make another trip or 2 or 3 or more.  Whose counting.

Biscuits and Fixins - $9.00 -
Substituted 1 regular biscuit for a lemon blueberry biscuit - $1.00

Deviled eggs - $12.00




Saturday, August 21st around 1:30 pm I decided to visit Jacob's Pickles since I heard about the biscuits.  Once they checked my vaccinated and ID card, I was shown to an indoor dining seat, surrounded by a very animated crowd.  

My selection came from the Starters menu after asking my server Caroline what would she suggest after I couldn't make up my mind between the bacon egg & cheese biscuit sandwich yet I wanted to try the devil eggs and biscuits.  I didn't want chicken because I was going to have it for dinner. 

They did a nice presentation of the devil eggs.  You could taste the pickled mustard seed within the smoothness of the yolk.  I choose the plain and lemon blueberry biscuits that came with the house strawberry & orange preserves, clover honey, salted butter and maple butter.  The biscuits are oversized and square, nice touch. I tried every single fixins and my favorite was the strawberry & especially the orange preserve on the plain biscuit.  The lemon and blueberry I tried the maple butter, nice.  

Overall the portions are large so be prepared because I had to bring most of it home with me.
