And for another take on "Southern Style", the Iron Hen Cafe also offers a sides plate option. Make three or four selections from the sides menu and get ready to enjoy a do-it-yourself vegetable dinner. On a recent trip, I chose the small hen house salad, the collard green egg roll, red cabbage walnut and horseradish slaw, and grilled corn on the cob with parmesan. Delicious!
But while I'm talking about the sides, I recently had a bad case of food envy when a friend got the okra and I decided at the last minute not to get it. When I saw theirs, I knew that I would have to have my very own on my next visit and I did! I got it, and it tasted like no okra I'd ever had. It's outstanding!!

Better Eat Your Vegetables!
I do love a good veggie plate! Maybe it's because I was a vegetarian for awhile or maybe it's because I have been fortunate enough to live in the South where tasty vegetables are so plentiful. I could blame my Mom who always made sure there were plenty of delicious vegetables on my plate growing up. Whatever the reason, there are times when all I want to eat is a big ol' plate of vegetables!
Located on the grounds of the Piedmont Triad Farmer's Market, the Moose Cafe has an excellent list of veggie options! With convenient access to local farmers' offerings, they do change the menu based on what's seasonally available. They have been written up in Southern Living for their "Cathead" biscuits, so you may want to give those a try while you're at it!
Another place that I have had the opportunity to enjoy the veggies recently is the Bayside Seafood and Family Restaurant, located at 3512 E Wendover Avenue, Suite C, Greensboro, NC 27405. This is a great place to get that veggie fix. The list of veggie options rotates throughout the week. If you have a favorite, like my fondness for their lima beans, you may want to keep a copy of the menu on hand before heading out! The list is extensive with about ten different sides to choose from each day of the week, so the hardest part might be making up your mind!
Now, I know that I am not a veggie purist as one might have detected by the presence of macaroni and cheese in both pictures, but I will add that anyone who loves a good mac and cheese will not be disappointed at either place!
