Whiskey Cake

This is a new Whiskey Cake on the South side of Houston.
 New and shiny, located right outside of Baybrook Mall.
 I got the Campfire Night - which has apple brandy, apple infused rye, cinnamon simple and old fashion bitters.  It was supposed to be double the size, but since I'm a weakling, I just asked them half it.
 For appetizers, we got: Deviled Eggs, has a little kick to it with bacon on top.  Love this!
 Not as much as I love the Fried Green Tomato.  The batter is not heavy, the tomato was hardy, and the remoulade sauce was so delicious, it's addictive.
 Got 2 kinds of sides with the hummus.  The hummus still has some chick peas in whole in it.  One version with veggies.
 Another version with bread.
 Finally sitting down, and we had salad paired with white balsamic vinaigrette.
 Got the pork brisket.  More like a pork steak than a brisket.  Paired with apple, potato and onion.  At the bottom is poblano jack grits.  I'm not usually a grits person, but I really love theirs.
Last but not least, the Whiskey Cake.  It was more like a toffee gooey cake.  It has a bourbon anglaise at the bottom with cartelized pecan infused with whiskey.  Talk about decadent, it was super lovely.  I had to stop myself from finishing the entire thing.

Whiskey Cake boost that they are farm to table, and you can taste that.  It's not stale or frozen, which after having the fresh stuff you can tell the difference.  The place has a casual atmosphere, but just a hair from being a party atmosphere because you can tell the folks at the bar spare no expense.  Good fun place, if you're having dinner here, it gets busy very quickly.
