The South Will Rise

I went to a party this past Thursday night at Heirloom Book Co. for the Lee Brothers.  I worked for the Lee Brothers for a week in September while they were doing all of the food photography for their new cookbook.  I love the Lee Brothers- they are the best, and their cookbooks are amazing.  I pass the Heirloom Book Co. every day on my bike while I am riding to and from work.  How I had never been in this awesome book store that is “dedicated to the literature of food” is beyond me. But now I have been in, and I love it!!  First of all, the space is truly beautiful- here is a picture from their website (www.heirloombookcompany.com).  They have delicious cookbooks from all over and wonderful artwork that just makes the shop a place you don’t want to leave.  I took Walker with me to the party, and he thought the curtain rods which were big long rolling pins were the neatest thing ever.  Not only was the space really fantastic, and the Lee Brothers were there, but Callie’s Biscuits (www.calliesbiscuits.com) was catering, so this was basically the greatest party ever.  I really can’t say enough good things about the bacon biscuits that were offered.  They had bacon which just makes everything better, but also cheese- clearly a winner, and this cracked pepper and other seasoning dusting around the biscuit that made the biscuits (and I won’t tell you how many I ate) absolute perfection.  But, not only that, Callie’s Biscuits makes the world’s best pimento cheese.  So between all of these things and the super tasty gin and tonics they were serving, it was a very fun party.
