"Housed in a 1914 brick building, I enjoyed Hudson Rouse’s modern Southern luncheonette and neighborhood grocer vibes with inventive takes on classics — a hoe cake layered with braised collards and a runny fried egg served with cane syrup, pimento cheese on burgers, a rice bowl with expertly fried chicken livers, rich gravy, caramelized onions, and the talked-about Cod Royale, Rouse’s riff on the Filet-O-Fish built on a battered fish and tangy tartar." - ByPervaiz Shallwani
