Olamaie, you’ve captured our hearts.
Nathan and I first checked out Olamaie back in September when Nathan received his job offer as a software developer at Spiceworks!! Yay! And we also wanted to celebrate our 7.5 years anniversary! Olamaie made my biscuit and gravy dream come true! The last few years, I’ve been on the hunt for the best biscuits and gravy. I order it everywhere when I can. Their biscuits are the best i’ve had, although I am still waiting to try the famous biscuits in Nashville at Loveless Cafe. The gravy was a little too salty for me at Olamaie but their biscuits with the honey butter, UHHHHHHHHHHH UHHHHH UHHHHHHHH. I have dreams about it, so flaky, so soft, so buttery, so yum.
Nathan turned 30 last week and I asked him where did he want to go to celebrate and of course he picked Olamaie. Again, they made my dreams come true but this time with rice. I am a rice snob, having grown up eating it every day, I am pretentious about my rice. I get angry when I am served shitty rice. Do you want to piss off Lizzie Chen? Well, then serve me badly cooked rice. Ever since I heard about the Golden Carolina Rice on Mind of A Chef with Edward Lee, I had to try it. It’s good Southern rice. Simple. It’s just rice and butter and so good. I thought it tasted like congee! The rest of the meal was amazing but then again, personally, I am sensitive to salt so I thought it was a little too salty.
