My trip to Savannah: The Emporium Kitchen & Wine Market
The Emporium Kitchen & Wine Market, Savannah
We passed The Emporium Kitchen & Wine Market as we were strolling around Savannah and decided to give it a try for lunch one of the days we were in the area. We did not have a reservation (none available) but decided to try anyway, and got a chance to get seated on one of the high top tables located close to the pass. We first ordered a chai latte ($6.75) for Jodi and a shaken espresso ($6.25) for me. If you never had a shaken espresso before, know that it is an espresso mixed with a sweetener (this was brown sugar), ice and a bit of milk, that is vigorously shaken, perfect on a hot day (it was hot that day and I could have forgotten it was December). With it, we shared a biscuit ($5) that was the best we had in Savannah! Crumbly, buttery, slightly crunchy on the outside and delicious with butter and a bit of preserves.

For her main, Jodi went for the Cobb salad ($16) without bacon, while I got their mushrooms and caramelized onions omelet ($19) that was superb: the three eggs were perfectly cooked, a bit on the soft side, and there was lots of gruyere cheese and mushrooms, as well as caramelized onions that gave a bit of sweetness. I opted for the grits rather than potatoes and did not regret it at all: these grits were also the best I had in a long time, being so creamy and rich.

This was a nice lunch, everything being really good and explaining why this place seems to be so popular, besides the fact that it is in the Perry Lane Hotel and so, they probably get lots of traffic from there. For sure, this is a very good spot for lunch or brunch.
Enjoy (I did)!
