Here is a funny story for all humor having folks out there. Picture this. It’s lightly raining outside. I park in a back alley parking lot behind my restaurant that is about a half block walk so I’m briskly footing it. It’s 8:15 am and it’s spring, my favorite season, and I spend 10 minutes in our herb box as you walk up to the patio. My mind is focused on the weather and the the plants as I unlock the door and walk into a very dark dining room. It is at that time a tall burly figure with a ventilator mask says to me hey man you aren’t going into the kitchen are you. It is at that time I yelled out holy **** dude what the hell man. And looked at him. This had to have been planned. He had to have seen me out in the herb garden and said I’m about to scare the holy hell out of this guy. It was pest control. Man. He was in a teal green jumpsuit with a ventilator mask and a weird hat and maaaaaaaaaaaaaan I’m glad I didn’t have my coffe yet bc I would completely “had a movement”. I said man well good morning to you brotha. It is nice to see my blood pressure medicine works. Maaaaan. Hiding behind the booth in a breaking bad suit had me crying. Good morning everyone!!!!

When life gives you lemons you make lemonade....except at 17 South.

We make lemoncello, or a lemoncello spritz, or a lemoncello margarita... or well, the possibilities are ENDLESS.

Lemoncello back on the menu next week at part of our summer series, along with our Boss Babe Paloma.

That looks good. Hmmm

They say your plate is supposed to be colorful.

If rainbow carrots sItting around our cream colored mash potatoes topped with our ruby red elk tenderloin isn't colorful, then I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

Grab yourself some edible art.

Go South.
