mmmm full of pork

Guys guys A SOUTHERN AMERICAN RESTAURANT OPENED IN CANBERRA.

(by which I mean 'food from the southern US', not cuisine from any particular country in the continent of South America)

I went there tonight and had a pulled pork sandwich made with coleslaw and BBQ sauce, with fries and potato salad, and then took home a slice of pumpkin pie. I need to go back and try the TWO TYPES OF RIBS and the BRISKET and the SLOPPY JOES and the BUFFALO WINGS and the salads, too, they look phenomenal. Hurrah! I won't have to learn to make all that stuff I tried in the US and really liked!

During my day off today I also made an orange and blueberry cake and got my hair re-dyed in a much brighter shade of coppery-red and then my hairdresser showed me how to use my ghd styler to put curls in (photo, for those not on twitter -- yes, I have Black Widow hair).

And now for some peppermint tea and some Ray Bradbury, I think.

I am delighted that the cuisine of my people is pleasing!

(but I should point out that sloppy joes and buffalo wings are not Southern...)

(but it's interesting to see what people think is Southern...)

I don't know what the RESTAURANT defines itself as, because it doesn't yet have a website (shocking!) but urbanspoon puts it in the categories of 'American' and 'Southern/Soul', so I suppose, a bit of both?

I WAS disappointed at the lack of grits on the menu. I have no earthly idea what a grit is beyond 'some sort of mushy carb thing' and was hoping to try them.

It's kind of like oatmeal? That's my opinion as a not-Southerner, but perhaps Sweeney has a better comparison. :)

ALSO, your hair looks AMAZING.
