Our daughter and son-in-law had told us about how good the breakfast and dinner were at Rising Sons a month or two back.   When we were  near Avondale Estates around dinner time, I made a bee line for the Tudor inspired downtown.  Located just down the street from Pallolaville, there seems to be quite a food neighborhood developing.

We were at the front edge of the dinner hour, so the restaurant wasn’t terribly busy. We were seated at a table-booth near the front and took a quick spin through the menu.  We both decided pretty quickly on the meat and three.

Fried trout, collard greens, fried green tomatoes and beans for my beloved:Fried trout, collard greens, fried green tomatoes and beans for my beloved:

Fried chicken, fried green tomatoes and double black eyed peas for me.

Both were served with a corn pone, but those definitely were not black eyed peas.
