😋 Dinner & Coffee. We don’t recommend coffee during dinner for insomniacs. However, Earley’s Kitchen is officially breaking curfew. After 40 years of rocking breakfast and lunch, they’re now serving dinner menus. The certified chef had some other tricks up his sleeve that give Earley's a refreshed look and taste, with the same homey feel that patrons have known and loved for decades. Meanwhile, Starbucks is back with its apple-flavored fall drinks because pumpkin spice has had its moment, and it’s time to let apples take a bite out of the spotlight. Cheers to the weekend!

Quick Summary

In our 488th edition, here’s for Fun:

DINNER AT EARLEY’S

🌞🌚 Earley’s Kitchen, A Daytime Restaurant, Has Expanded Its Offerings to Include Dinner. They’re ready to serve a little slice of nightlife. | Tal Dem

  • Earley's Kitchen, a Southside Tallahassee staple owned by Morrell and Anita Morrell, is now serving dinner. For 40 years, it’s been known for its Southern cooking, soul food sandwiches, and cafeteria-style breakfast and lunch. 🍛

  • Last year, the eatery got a major facelift with a spacious patio, new furniture, fresh paint, and a full-service bar. The dinner service was the new plan for the restaurant, especially after the addition of all its new bells and whistles, one that's been in the works for over a year. The hold up: "life gets in the way," the chef explained.

  • The team has onboarded a whole new set of staff. The restaurant will serve its usual daytime fare, close at 2 p.m., and reopen for the evening crowd.

  • FYI: On Sept. 9th, the restaurant hosted intimate dinners, including an exclusive dinner with friends from the social food group Tallahassee Foodies for their grand opening dinner service. | FB Post

  • 🍽️ Dinner Menu Highlights: Start with creative appetizers like Pineapple Upside Down Cornbread with Orange Bacon Marmalade ($8), Bourbon-Glazed Smoked Pork Belly over Charred Collard Greens ($12), or Fried Green Tomatoes with Roasted Red Pepper Coulis ($12). Soups and salads are also available.

  • ✨ Main Course: Standout dishes include Oxtail Osso Buco with smoked Gouda grits and roasted tri-color baby carrots ($32), and the Ultimate Meatloaf – a blend of beef, pork, veal, and ham wrapped in bacon, served with green beans, mashed potatoes, apple crisp, and a yeast roll ($24). Other entrées include grilled pork loin chop, Southern fried catfish, and fried or wood-fired chicken.

  • 🍰 Desserts: Finish with indulgent desserts like a Five-Layer Chocolate Cake or Salted Caramel Cheesecake with Cracker Jack Popcorn Garnish.
