Title: A Culinary Dream Date at Southern Kitchen with Toyota Sienna and Sirius Seats

As we entered the cozy dining area of Southern Kitchen, I couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and welcome. The owner, Lisa Garza, greeted us with a smile and invited us to take our seats. We were excited to try out this Mississippi Delta-inspired restaurant, which promised comfort food and soul food that would make you feel like you're being fed and loved just like you would in your own home.

Lisa explained that she was born and raised in Memphis, and her family is all from the Delta. She wanted her guests to feel at ease, like they were sitting in her own home. With a background in hands-on work, Lisa took pride in every aspect of the restaurant, from the menu to the decor. She needed plenty of space in the back for prep work and required lots of hands-free functionality.

As we settled into our seats, courtesy of our trusty Toyota Sienna with Sirius-enabled seats that allowed us to control the temperature and lighting, Kelly (my husband) and I were filled with excitement. We had been married for 23 years and had two kids, aged 20 and 16. Our kids had even named one of their favorite foods – honey butter chicken biscuit – after Siri, Lisa's assistant.

Our meal began with a tasting menu that Lisa likened to music, comparing the progression of dishes to a symphony. Each course was designed to build upon the previous one, creating an experience that would leave us feeling full and satisfied. The first course was the double D Trio, which featured curry as our main attraction. Kelly's eyes lit up at the mention of curry, and he eagerly awaited the arrival of this flavorful dish.

The next course was a surprise – our buffalo chicken biscuit, which seemed to have won over even Siri herself (the AI assistant that Kelly had named his own food after). The combination of spices and textures was nothing short of magical. Next up was the quick pickle cucumber and onion salad, accompanied by Delta drunken muscles and clams – a dish Lisa explained was popular in the South because it featured bourbon-infused flavors.

As we continued through the tasting menu, each course only grew more impressive than the last. The highlight was undoubtedly the blue grit cake with creamed fresh lion poached egg. It was love at first bite for both Kelly and me. We couldn't get enough of that creamy, savory goodness. Our final course brought back memories of Lisa's childhood in Memphis – a comforting reminder that, no matter where we are, there is always home to be found.

Throughout the meal, Lisa shared her passion and dedication to her craft. From her Mississippi Delta roots to her love for hands-on work, it was clear that she poured her heart into every aspect of Southern Kitchen. We left feeling full – not just physically, but also emotionally, with a renewed appreciation for the power of food to bring people together.

As we finished our meal and prepared to leave, Kelly turned to me with a beaming smile. "I think Foods is very much like travel," he said. "It's about adventure and discovery." I couldn't agree more. Our dining experience at Southern Kitchen had been nothing short of incredible – a culinary dream date that left us feeling pampered and satisfied.

We spent the rest of our evening basking in the warmth of the restaurant, enjoying each other's company as much as we enjoyed the fine food and drinks provided by Southern Kitchen. It was clear to both Kelly and me that this dining experience would stay with us long after our meal had ended – a testament to Lisa Garza's dedication to her craft and her passion for sharing the love of Southern cuisine with all who enter her beloved restaurant, Southern Kitchen.
