GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA: LUCKY 32 SOUTHERN KITCHEN




After checking into the Proximity Hotel I had some time to take a tour of this LEED hotel, where "green" rates 32 points. Dinner was at Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen on Westover Terrace. Chef Jay Pierce centers on Southern and locally sourced food. I wanted to sample the menu and the best way was to order a few appetizers and an entree of four side dishes. Sweet potato hush puppies sitting on a Country Ham cream sauce and topped with scallions. Pig Bread. It's pulled pork here and from the butt, which would make it non-kosher. Voodoo Sauce consisting of: sugar, Texas Pete BBQ Sauce of vinegar, tomato paste, brown mustard, fresh garlic, black pepper, Kosher salt, mustard seed, basil leaves and celery salt, is laid upon toasted ciabetta, then topped with the pulled pork, red onions, chevre, provolone and cilantro and baked.

For the side dishes I had: Tomato-basil chicken soup; collard greens, mac and cheese, and deviled eggs with Benton Ham. There was absolutely no room for dessert.
