To be fair the hubs had mentioned going to Redd's earlier in the day which I had agreed to but you know me, I'm always changing my mind so thank you God for the update via the interwebs about one of my fave foods ever to be created!
Per usual, I could barely make it to 5pm before dying of starvation so we got there super early as in pick of choice of where to sit and indulge. In for the a/c or out for the fresh air?
Nice little table for two in the shade on the patio is what we (I) chose. I quickly put my pocketbook down and walked over to peruse the new beer/movie/herb/chilling out garden that Redd's recently built. Best idea ever in my opinion, because on Brunch days it can get downright BUSY up in that piece. Can't wait to leisurely enjoy a mimosa and/or beer while waiting for our next delish meal at Redd's.
And F to the Y to the I-- during the summah they show movies on certain nights of the week so check their FB page/website. I know he already played the "The Big Lebowski" so you can get an idea of the quality films that shall be featured.

Our server, Cristian was on point throughout our whole delicious supper, super friendly, informative, and he detailed the specials and the wine/beer accompaniments. Since the Fried Chicken was the special of the evening, it was served as three courses which included the Summer lettuce salad-
local lettuce, cherry tomatoes, creamy blue cheese sherry vinaigrette, croutons, radishes, cucumbers, fried chicken with buttermilk mashed, a biscuit, and slaw, then a piece of buttermilk pie for dessert.
Drop the mic is all I have to say! Freaking delectable!
And now while writing this entry, I referred to the on-line menu and came across the side of Swiss chard. Damn! That would have been perfect with my dinner. Well beggars can't be choosers. I just LOVE food so MUCH!
Of course we ordered some oysters as an appetizer with a Mignonette sauce and a ginger dressing to top the little buggers. Six in total and I dogged my two. Can't recall where they were raised but I can say they were fresh as hell.
Because the salad special of tomato, basil with house made mozzarella sounded so awesome, the hubs decided on that to start with his oysters. The Roslindale red and green tomatoes which I grow and know for a fact are bombastic were so tasty mixed with the vinaigrette and fresh basil. The mozzarella was creamy and scrumptious.

and to my surprise because I was sure he was going with the Paella for his main entree, the hubs decided on the Wood-Grilled Pork Chop. The chop was slow-cooked with sea peas, diced carrots, watermelon, and a SC-style mustard BBQ sauce. In addition, he ordered a side of buttermilk mashed. The piece of meat grilled to perfections was legit bigger than my head and the hubs devoured that mofo down to gnawing on the bone! You know I shared my chicken and he loved that, too.
Dessert for me was not a choice as buttermilk pie is not at the top of my list. First, it's not chocolate and last it's not chocolate. It was a sliver of a custard/flan like dessert. I chose the hubs dessert as he instructed me to do and ordered up a big old piece of S'mores pie. One of the servers even fired up the blowtorch which toasted up the marshmallow nicely. My last course became my hubs' and his mine. The three bites that I took were beyond chocolaty and rich and just what the doctor ordered.
At that point of our lovely evening I was oh so full and could honestly not really move with ease. It was fantastic.
You may be wondering what we washed our grub down with and you guessed it! Brother Shandys all day long. So, so good that they are dangerous!
Yeah, yeah I know I have not taken time to write about my love of food for you or me for a very long time. Well, I'm back in action and tipping my hat again to Chef Delicious of Redd's in Rozzie. As I mentioned on my Rozziefoodie FB page,

"Redd's in Rozzie rocked the party that rocked the party tonight for supper! And I even heard 'shake, shake, shake, Shenora' while dogging my fried chicken, mashed and biscuit. I would call that a win-win situation!"
