Thursday's Pork Chop Special at Gene's

Actually, every day at Gene's is a very good day -- but on Thursday, they bring out the smothered pork chops, sweet potatoes, and cornbread to die for, with some iced tea just to clear your palate for the next heavenly bite. The food is so good you forget your boss, your job, and the worst of your no-'count relatives on the road to extreme gustatory satisfaction. We'd write more ... but we've gone to lunch.
