Today I ate lunch at Monroe's Smokehouse, as a follow up to my January and June reviews.
Homemade Potato Salad
The potato salad is different from what was served in January. It is chunks of potato with a sort of salad dressing coating & celery seeds. The consensus at the table was "That's not really potato salad. And it isn't very good."
Collard Greens
The greens are no longer served soupy and greasy. I was given a beautiful, tasty order this time. However, the greens were gritty. The grit / dirt had probably not been properly washed before cooking. Monroe's did replace my greens with the black eyed peas, though, which I appreciated.
Savory Black-eyed Peas
The black eyed peas at Monroe's were decent enough on previous visits. But now they are excellent. The peas are served thick and well seasoned, with pieces of bacon mixed in. Absolute heaven X D
Bbq Bacon Cheeseburger
The bbq burger was perfect. The bun was warm and toasted. The meat patty was huge and cooked to perfection, with crisp bacon, fresh lettuce, tomato, onion slices and a drizzling of bbq sauce. I could only eat half of the man-sized burger. Definitely worth ordering again!
Memphis Deluxe Pulled Pork Sandwich
No complaints about this sandwich. Monroe's is still making the Memphis Deluxe as great as before.

Ile De France: Prettiest Platter Contest
You all know how competetive I am. I've entered a photo in the Ile De France Prettiest Platter contest. Remember to vote for me until October 6.
"What ingredients did you use ?"
Ile De France Brie (single serve minis & one large wheel), shredded cheddar, an M&M, salad crunchies, rice and food coloring. I had to keep sticking the brie into the freezer to hold the shapes.
