Food Porn: Basket of Cornbread

by Nicole Weston, Posted Aug 20th 2006 @ 1:05PM

If this picture doesn't look like the epitome of homestyle diner food, I don't know what does. The basket of cornbread looks like exactly the sort of thing you'd expect to see on the table at a place that serves really good fried chicken. The picture was taken at a Harlem restaurant called Amy Ruth's, which is known for their fried chicken and waffles, by The Girl Who Ate Everything. She describes it as being very tasty, as well as "fluffy, light, tender and moist enough not to be classified as 'dry'" and it was, in fact, served up just before she and her dining companion tucked into plates of fried chicken, fried okra and mac and cheese. It's more of a Northern-style cornbread than a Southern one, but if it tastes even half as good as it looks, I don't think that too many fried chicken fans will complain if they get this as a side dish.

Great pic! you can do cornbread many ways with corn, buttermilk c. bread or the sweet kind. Love spoon bread and mexican cornbread. The best cornbread is with cracklings!If your in the north or South cornbread is good and good for you!
