Chocolate Covered Bacon - Really!


Yesterday, I met a group of writer friends at Ella's Americana Folk Art Cafe on North Nebraska Avenue in Tampa.

Since it was Soul Food Sunday, we ordered from a menu featuring fried green tomatoes, fried sweet potatoes and fried pickle chips -- all three made for excellent pre-brunch nibbles, which we passed around the table. Those warm, crispy and lightly battered pickle chips were a home run on their own.

But there was also Kansas City style barbecue, veggie burgers and fried chicken with Belgian waffles and funky monkey waffles, a waffle topped with Nutella, banana and toasted peanuts.


Like chocolate? Like bacon?

Me too, on both counts. So I just had to try the chocolate covered bacon at $3. Personally, it wasn't a favorite, and I passed my plate to others at my table who appreciated it more.

There was a whole lot more than pig dipped in chocolate at this restaurant, though.

Don't forget to take a look at the cheeky mix of folk art. Ella's has a funky feel that includes an entire wall of memorabilia and doodads commemorating the King - Elvis, that is.

Long live the King and Ella's and the Sunday brunch bunch.
