Tucked away in the Tenderloin, is a tiny (I counted 7 tables + a bar) breakfast and lunch spot. Brenda hails from N'Awlins so the food has a Creole bent to it. Here's the link - http://www.frenchsoulfood.com/
We went on New Year's Day and they had the classic Southern options of black-eyed peas and collard greens. We opted for the collard greens, which even had bits of bacon in it.
We went savory / sweet. For the savory, we had a shrimp po'boy - slathered with spicy dressing, fried shrimp, on a baguette. For sweet, we went with pancakes with butter pecan sauce (as if someone had melted the inside of a pecan pie, added butter to it and poured it over the pancake).
While we waited outside (at times mingling with the homeless), we popped in to bring a coffee outside to warm us up. With brunch, we sampled some of the watermelon iced tea - a great refreshing way to start the day.
We skipped the beignets for now, as we were so full. But we will be back to try all four kinds: original, chocolate, granny smith/cinnamon, and the intriguing crawfish!
