During my last two visits to Tallahassee, I've driven by Kool Beanz Cafe a few times. Figured it must be a coffeeshop. And, since that is one of the addictions I don't have, never gave it another thought.
Good thing my friend Lee Daniel suggested we try it for dinner a couple weeks ago. Lee is having the time of his life sampling restaurants, nightspots and attractions that are all new to him as he settles into his new position as CEO of the Leon County TDC. He'd heard good things about Kool Beanz...so we went.
And were blown away with one of the more eclectic menus either of us have ever seen. So diverse, in fact, we opted to eschew the entrees and focused our attention on the appetizers. Among the favorites you should try when you go (though, we were told, the menu changes daily): Cornmeal fried oysters with cheddar cheese grits and remoulade sauce, Panko breaded calamari with ancho chile-mango catsup and the Mideast spiced lamp patties.
When I go back (and I know I will), I'm hoping the Bayou Gator is on the menu...
