Took some hunting to find Mama Dip's. I was way over on the other side of Chapel Hill when I asked a police officer for directions. "Follow me." I was hoping he'd turn on the lights and siren, but instead a totally law abiding 25 mph all the way to Mama Dip's front door.

Mama Dip's is definitely worth tracking down. Down south home cooking at it's best. I started with crab gumbo and a side of hush puppies followed by my all time favorite version of chicken and dumplings. Equally good banana pudding for dessert.

I headed back for breakfast, managing to find my own way. I had missed Mama Dip's famous fried chicken for dinner. Didn't turn out to be a problem. Wish more restaurants served this breakfast - Fried chicken with gravy, eggs over easy, grits and a ham biscuit on the side.

That's Mama Dip, aka Mildred Council at the right, having breakfast with a grandson or maybe great grandson.
