Good dish at IHOP.

This afternoon, I had dinner at IHOP in Kingsland. I had a really good and well priced dish for the second time. It has been consistently delicious so I'm confident recommending it to you. They call it "Mediterranean Lemon Chicken." For nine dollars and change, you get both breasts of a plump, juicy chicken, a plate full of cubed red skin potatoes, and a generous serving of steamed broccoli. The chicken is seasoned with a little salt, lemon, garlic, and rosemary. It is served just on the good side of sufficiently done. I believe it is broiled rather than grilled. Golden brown skin and perfectly seasoned. The meat is tender and juicy. The potatoes are also broiled with salt, parsley and rosemary and perhaps a hint of garlic. Delicious. The broccoli is steamed just right and served with a really good mock Hollandaise sauce. Go try this when you are in no hurry. It takes about thirty minutes to cook that breast just right. Very good, attentive service, too. P.S., I also learned of a new breakfast dish. Just across from me, there was a traveling family of Indians (.i.e, from India.) They were all eating the usual breakfast items, except for the 25 or so rather chubby female. She had gotten and order of white toast, a large order of hash browns, water, and a bottle of ketchup. She would make a hashbrown sandwich and drown it in ketchup. She ate most of it, but convinced all of the other members of the party to try a bite. They all agreed that it was wonderful. Go figure. If only you could get hashbrowns with curry.

The IHOP owner is a retired Navy guy and I have had a couple of good meals there. Give him a try.

The three times I've been in there , there was always a middle aged black man who seems to function as the general manager. I've been very impressed by the way he keeps track of the food and the service while finding time to stop by every table and visit with customers. Does that sound like a description of the owner?

That's the man. Does a good job with his restaurant.

The food there is GREAT both breakfast and dinner. Yes, the black guy is the owner/manager. Great people skills.

On the blog side of this the last time I was there I purchased the paper, it's local, I can't remember the name. But they were blasting the City Manager in Kingsland. I have never seen that type of reporting in Camden.

Great to see a franchisee who actually manages the restaurant. The persoanl involvement really shows.

You've aroused my curiosity with that report of a "hard hitting" newspaper. I take it that you are talking about some paper other than the Tribune and Georgian?
