There is a restaurant here in Savannah that gives hushpuppies instead of bread. They must actually be donut holes in disguise! They come with honeybutter and are very addictive.
They supposedly have great food, but, after the hushpuppies, who cares!
Ok, the food is excellent, or, at least was, the last time I ate there.
If you like well fried & tasty seafood Long John Silver's is actually pretty good. A health nut or nutritionist would undoubtedly have a coronary, but if you like good tasting fish, shrimp and crab cakes it's a good chain. Their hushpuppies are spiced with savory seasonings and available separately as well as in combos. It's a favorite of ours here in Houston.
It compares favorably with Ivars' in Seattle (when Ivar was alive). No clam nectar though !
