Cash has done some research and heard about Willie Mae's Scotch House, where you can get the 'best fried chicken'. We drive down. From the outside, it looks like a house in a pretty surburban area but on the inside, it is a massive restaurant, but still with that homely feel.
We order a lot!!
3 chicken pieces - white - 6.5/10
3 chicken pieces - dark and white - 7.5/10
Mashed potato - 5/10
Green beans and rice - 7/10
Fries - 6.5/10 salty
Fried Okra - 5/10
Corn bread muffins - 8/10 both
Bread pudding - 8/10
When we came in, there were only a few people, 45mins later and it is packed out with everyone ordering the world famous chicken. You need a big appetite and big pants with a lotta give! People from all over the world are here and from all over the US. There is a great atmosphere. It's that 'gone to mama's house for sunday lunch' feeling. Taking a look at the window, there is a massive queue forming outside that goes round the corner. I have seen this before, especially at 11am in the morning!
I am full and have decided that whilst a lot of the food is really tasty, the more stewy/soup-based dishes are my favourite from Louisiana! We're on the interstate and within a short while, we have left Louisiana and enter Mississippi.
At 155pm - we enter Alabama. It is raining lots but is still 73F.
At 253pm - We enter the sunshine state-liars!!It's still 'slarting' it down (thanks Ali for the new vocab). Another 7hours and 17mins to go. We see an amazing lightning storm, again, I've never seen anything like it before. It is taking place behind the clouds but looks like a fireworks display. We are almost there - 3.16mins away.
12 and a bit hours later - We arrive at our destination at about 1215am and we are greeted by our host. The house is amazing. I feel like we're filming an episode of MTV cribs! It sppears to be a lovely neighbourhood. Tomorrow, I am writing my conclusion for my dissertation whilst Cash goes to some theme parks.
Night night xx
