Delta Dawn, i mean, Bistro


delta bistro. this cute, art-filled restaurant was as fun to look at; as the food was good. i liked the vibe immediately, but, liked it even more when i saw a posted flyer selling a local dairy farmer’s cow milk. the tables were partitioned from each other (a theme in greenwood) with a piece of hanging glass. an artsy piece decorated with painted ginko leaves - cute. the menu included appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches, pastas, steaks, small plates (tapas), desserts and a chef’s table menu for $30 per person. now, that’s cool. the bistro even has a drive-thru window. the comeback sauce on the crab cake & fried green tomato plate ($6) was particularly delicious (guess i missed that photo op). everyone must think so, b/c it is on the take-out item menu for $9 a pint. this was a food-filled weekend, so much prior food intake made us less appreciative of the delta bistro than we should have been. next time you find yourself in the delta, visit the Delta Bistro. at the very least, make your own version of comeback sauce.

I have always heard of comeback sauce from those saucy things themselfs - the sweet potato queens. They recommend Hal and Mal's in Jackson as the best in the state....
