Day 6 of our road trip to the 2018
World Food Championships was a great one. The sun shone brightly and the
anticipation of bacon only a few hours away. Like any sport, it was time to
“carb and caffeine up” for a long day. A visit to my friends at the Southern
Grind Coffee House was our #1 priority of the morning.
I just can’t start my day until I have a good cup of coffee.
Southern Grind Coffee House is my favorite coffee spot in Orange Beach. This
time I went with something new, Nitro Draft Cold Brew. I’ve had it a few times
in California from a can and on draft at a local donut shop. I love coffee
whether is hot or cold brewed. Each process brings out different flavors from
the beans. Anyone who loves coffee needs to try cold brew at least once to
experience it. Nitro cold brew coffee takes cold brew coffee to another level.
Cold brew coffee is infused with nitrogen gas and released through a
pressurized valve with tiny perforations. As the cold brew is forced through,
it creates a creamy effect that you would experience in a stout (like Guinness).
The result is a smooth, clean, and velvety coffee. During November 2018,
Southern Grind had a Pumpkin Pie Nitro Draft Cold Brew on tap. I normally take
creamer and sweetener with my coffee, but I didn’t need it with this cup of
joe. It was so smooth with the flavor and aroma of pumpkin spice. So good!
Smothered Burritos were the breakfast special with your
choice of meat. It’s Mexican meets Southern cuisine in this breakfast entrée. I
ordered bacon and the hubby ordered sausage. Just like my dad, I love gravy. I
was also hooked by the word “smothered” – it’s music to a foodie’s ears! The
burrito itself was good, packed with scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese, but it
was the gravy that made it great. I had the gravy last year over biscuits and
couldn’t wait to have it again!
My dad tried the Breakfast Biscuit – egg, cheese, and served
with choice of bacon, ham, or sausage. He went with ham. My dad is all about
biscuits since he arrived in Alabama. He loved it! Just the perfect size for
breakfast to accompany his cup of hot coffee.
All carbed up and caffeinated, it was time to head over to
the pantry to pick up our ingredients for the opening round of the World
Chicken Championships!
