It was a slow-food-soul-food kind of weekend at Jimmy’s No. 43, as we went from a pig carving with Colonial-era music from live singers to Southern food favorites and music harkening to the Big Easy from George Kirby, Jr., and friends. George presented the Sounds of the South with an amazing accordion player, plenty of blues, and down-home country.
The food was all courtesy of Ben LeBlanc’s Good Stock Soups and Annie Etheridge’s Field & Clover biscuits. The gumbo was a crowd favorite (we’ll be serving up his gumbo at this Friday’s FallFunFood! at Albany Plaza – more info here), influenced by the flavors of Louisiana. Annie’s authentic, handmade, buttermilk biscuits were a great complement to the gumbo made with organic bacon from NY and cheddar from Vermont.
And if you missed out this weekend, no worries! The whole group will be back with this particular pop-up on Sunday, December 14th.
