Liberty Kitchen

So we have an out of town trainer that's helping our office out. So we got a great excuse to go to different places.

One place I have been dying to try is Liberty Kitchen in the Heights. It is located on Studemont & 11th Street. The funny thing was that building used to be a 7-11, then got bought by Circle K, and then it became a Hit and Go with gas station. Then, next thing we know it went out of business, and then it became a tamale factory, and it went black. So, fast forward some time, the folks in Liberty Kitchen took over.
We ordered some shelled oysters to start. It was from Louisiana, and at first I was a bit hesitant, because it's from the Gulf. Then again, I'm all about trying new things.... what's the worst? Food poisoning? My boss was at the dinner with us, so she would be my witness.

Turns out, it was decent. Now, for sure, it was slimey. But it's not without it's taste. It tasted fresh and not gamey, to which I was super impressed.
I ordered the brisket. It came with some huge onion rings, which were nicely battered and golden and fried. Oh yes, it's fried through alright. The brisket was very good, you can taste a hint of smoke. That said, a part of the brisket was dried.

I will say though, our out of town guest was totally impressed with the porterhouse, which had a side of asparagus with bacon jam on top. Yes, you read that right, bacon jam. Supposedly, it tasted so good that we made a special order for him to take home. By calling ahead, and for mere $20, they will get you some extra to take home. And if you think about it, you can put it on top of anything, toast, meat, veggies, you name it.
