Johnny’s ice cream sundae is a perfect way to cool down and make your tastebuds very happy. The tall glass is filled with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and caramel sauce. Best of all, it’s topped with a cherry and whipped cream!
I’ve noticed that the ice cream sundae has been on the dessert board most days this summer. So come on in and order one :)
Continuing on the theme of fresh peaches, check out this delicious fried peach pie. Johnny’s fried pies are truly unique and wonderfully delicious to boot!
So next time you see a fried pie on the board, whether apple, cherry, or peach, give it a try. Pictures just don’t do it justice.
Still, more photos on flickr here.
Check out the change of scenery in these photos. Yup, we’re out in the new patio area at Johnny’s. I couldn’t resist taking this delicious peach cobbler outside to take some photos in the sunshine. The heat made the ice cream melt quicker, but that just meant I got to eat sooner :)
This particular dessert may not be available every day but Johnny always has lots of delicious choices so no worries.
More photos of this *amazing* peach cobbler available on Facebook.
You may remember the special Mardi Gras bread pudding that I loved so much. I’m happy to tell you New-Orleans-style bread pudding has returned to the menu. It may not be available every day, but keep a look out for it and you might get lucky!
This bread pudding reminds me of Johnny’s comfort cobbler (also a personal favorite). It’s served in the same type of oblong dish, making it enough dessert for two. Once again I am happy to report that Johnny’s bread pudding is not at all soggy. Instead, the chunks are moist with yummy raisins mixed throughout. It’s topped with a sugary glaze that I especially love.
So next time you see bread pudding on the dessert board, be sure to order it while you can!

Johnny was making coca cola cake while I was at the Smokehouse on Tuesday afternoon. I was in for a treat because this batch turned out particularly delicious. Johnny says that it’s all about taking the time: you have to bake it just right, wait a certain amount of time before frosting it, and then take your time with the frosting. We’re all glad that he has this down to a science because Johnny’s cake is amazing.
The cake also turned out to be as photogenic as it was delicious. I posted the pictures on Flickr a couple days ago and had a surprising response:
Johnny’s coca cola cake looks so delicious that this group wants to include it in their picture-grouping. You can check out this group HERE.
So if perfect strangers think this cake looks delicious, I think it’s our duty to go to Johnny’s and give it a try :)
If you didn't make it to Johnny's today, you missed some amazing specials!
Soup of the Day: Chicken Vegetable
Special Dessert: Mardi Gras Bread Pudding
Johnny says his chicken vegetable soup is good for the soul and I quite agree. The smooth yet flavorful broth, yummy chunks of chicken, and a healthy dose of vegetables make for a soup that will fill your stomach and warm your heart.
In honor of Mardi Gras, Jill put together this very special bread pudding. Unlike other bread puddings I’ve had, it wasn’t mushy! This was a special dish for today only. Recommendation: beg Jill to make it again next year!
In the mean time, be sure to visit Johnny’s often so you won’t miss out on other very special daily specials.
Check back later for photos and a post about the fish filet with onion nibs and mac n' cheese!
I had such an exciting evening yesterday! I’m posting this around lunchtime so that you’ll be able to sit down and eat as you read about last night’s lovely Winter Wine Dinner. Remember: the Smokehouse is open on Saturdays. If your PB&J sandwich suddenly isn’t cutting it, treat yourself to lunch (or dinner) at Johnny’s!
The Pairings:
Amusé: Croquette filled with brisket and two cheeses
Appetizer: Seared Scallop and Shrimp on Lobster Cream; served with Noblissimo Pino Grigio
Entrée: Beef Filet with Peppercorn Reduction, Potato Gratin, and Green Beans; served with Napa Cellars Zinfandel
Dessert: Chocolate Cherry Cobbler and Vanilla Ice Cream; served with Solaire (Cabernet Sauvignon) by Robert Mondovi
Now that your mouth is watering, let me assure you that each dish was just as amazing as it sounds.
I’m already voting to make last night’s amusé a permanent part of the JMS menu. I’m beginning to realize that I love brisket more than anything else in the world. Combining brisket with cheese resulted in a delicious puffball reminiscent of a crab cake but with that extra yummy briskety essence.
As for the appetizer, I was only sad that I didn’t have a spoon with which to scoop up every last bit of lobster cream. Johnny’s scallops were perfectly cooked and the texture of the shrimp somehow accentuated the subtle flavors of the cream.
This menu was exquisitely balanced so that I wasn’t full by the time my beef filet arrived. Good thing because I think my heart would have broken if I hadn’t been able to do justice to this amazing entrée. Not only was the beef perfectly tender, the potatoes were exactly as they ought to be. However, for me, the green beans truly stole the show. Not only were they the most photogenic, but they were also crisp and buttery, delightful yet irrefutably healthy.
The chocolate cherry cobbler was a delicious cap to a lovely evening. I never pass up a chance for chocolate and the cherries were such a nice surprise!
Bottom line: sign up for the next wine dinner! I *promise* you won’t regret it.
Check out Facebook for more pictures! This is the first time I’ve photographed so much food in one sitting but I think these pics still give you a great feeling for how attractive and delicious JMS food is.
