Christine's Back Porch - Great Plate Lunch on your way from Memphis to New Orleans
A week or two ago, my husband Jamie took me to lunch at Christine's Back Porch located at 123 Depot Drive in Canton, Mississippi. As I was enjoying my fried catfish and turnip greens, Jamie dug into his baked chicken and fried okra. The couple next to us were commenting how tender the chicken was, which of course sparked a conversation in the dining room. I just love the South...we never meet a stranger!
The couple sitting next to the door were about to order and were very interested in our opinions of the food and what we thought they should order. For $10 per person, there is always a choice between 2 or 3 meats, choice of 3 vegetables served with cornbread and dessert. You get to pick from what Mrs. Christine has cooked that day, so the menu is never the same. As we gave our opinions on the chicken, catfish, bread pudding and an explanation of what 'rancho beans' are, I snuck in the obligatory, 'where're y'all from' question.
It turns out the couple next to the door were from West Tennessee on their way to New Orleans. She had googled 'home cooking-soul food' restaruants located on the way between their two points of travel and found Christine's Back Porch-Canton! I googled the restaurant to see what the net has to say about the food. "It gives you the southern feel of being at home and enjoying traditional soul food cooking." It certainly lives up to that reputation! I got the prized bread pudding recipe from the lady sitting next to us that day while enjoying my food and conversation with the folks from Memphis.
This couple found a treasure indeed in this quaint old house where Mrs. Christine serves her traditional Southern soul food! Their exit off the interstate also gained them a loop around the Historic Canton Square, an unexpected but happy find, that they said they were sure to return to for some shopping!
Next time you find yourself hungry for lunch between Memphis and New Orleans, check it out for yourself...you won't be dissapointed, and you certainly won't leave hungry!
