The Pink House: Ladies Who Lunch

You’ve all heard of the term “The Ladies Who Lunch”; the stereotypical definition for this reads as follows:

Well-off, well-dressed women who meet for social luncheons, usually during the working week. Typically, the women involved are married and non-working.

No judgment here; if you can snag a situation like that, go for it! Here’s what one of those groups of ladies might have looked like back in 1952, outside The Old Pink House Restaurant on Reynolds Square in Savannah, Georgia. Purses, hats, and gloves. These ladies have it all covered.



The Olde (the “e” was added at some point) Pink House is a Daveland favorite.



My menu choices rarely deviate when I go (why mess with success?). The BLT salad to start, which includes a fried green tomato:



…and the Fried Pork Chop. Words cannot even begin to describe it.



Know any ladies who lunch?

Savannah Pt. 3

I love food; fast food, innovative food, foreign food, gourmet food...you name it. So, I often judge a city by its restaurants. For basic comfort diner food and eclairs bigger than your head, Clary’s is the place to go. For a crappy tourist trap meal that comes frozen from Sysco, you might like to try The Pirate House. Quite frankly, this place sucks anymore. Nothing is fresh there anymore; all canned or frozen. Yup...the waiter told me so himself.



You”ll have to wait in line, and the interior isn’t fancy, but for good old fashioned home-cooked southern cooking, Mrs. Wilkes’ place is hard to beat.



My favorite restaurant in Savannah would have to be The Pink House. An elegant spin on southern classic food, this place is delicious.
