KIMBROUGH

his favorite shrimp remoulade salad with a grilled pimento cheese and applewood bacon sandwich on sour dough bread.

After a Weidmann’s meal, it’s hard to imagine ordering dessert. However, you can’t leave without sampling Weidmann’s famous black bottom pie. I’m not sure about the modern-day version, but a vintage online recipe contains gingersnaps, scalded milk, layers of custard and chocolate, a dash or two or whiskey and a crown of meringue scattered with chocolate shavings.

Today, Weidmann’s version is a decadent, delicious and a must-try ending to a memorable meal.
