Lenox Cafe

I need to remember to take a pic before I start eating, but I'll try to be descriptive enough that you can see and taste the food. This little gem, D'Hayes Catering flies below the radar unless you really look for them. I've only found them on Facebook, they're only open Thurs, Fri & Saturday (for limited hours) - but, if you don't order your dinner ahead, there is a good chance they will sell out! This week their special was Chuck Roast with garlic mashed potatoes and 2 sides. The walk home carrying this precious cargo seemed endless - and I only live 3 blocks away! The aroma was tantalizing and it proved out in the food. The roast was tender with very little fat just at one end, the garlic mashies had a generous helping of gravy and I ordered greens and red beans and rice as sides. I don't think I have ever had better chuck roast! The spices and flavors in the gravy were so good that I wanted to eat the whole serving which I can tell you would tax even a "big" eater. The greens were nicely sprinkled with pieces of ham and again, they were prepared perfectly w/spicing that made them just hot enough to make your mouth tingle, but not overwhelming. I honestly haven't tried the beans and rice yet, because I made 2 meals of the rest and was full both times. Oh, the corn muffin- it was so tender I had to eat it with a spoon 'cuz it fell apart when I tried to butter it, and it was just the right amount of sweet! Next time I'm going to ask for 2. They have standard lunch fare w. specials and other specials depending on the day. D'Hayes is a fusion of soul and just good home cooking w. a little gourmet thrown in. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Good food
