My mom’s love language is food. Consequently, I love to eat. Mom loves me and it shows.

I found a meal at a restaurant at the Twisted Fork in Florida that is the best meal I’ve ever eaten anywhere. And that’s saying a lot. I have a favorite restaurant, Buffet City, which I’ve written about before. In fact, we went there at Thanksgiving last year. Here’s that story. But as much as I love that buffet, hands down, the tastiest meal I’ve ever had is Shamalama Smothered Chicken (SSC) . The Twisted Fork is a unique restaurant that’s part of the Harley Davidson complex in Port Charlotte. They also have an incredible outdoor music venue that’s wildly popular with the largely retired population here.

Randy and I both ate SSC for lunch today. While I was savoring it, it occurred to me that telling you about this meal would make a good short post, I wish I’d taken a picture before we dug in. I found this photo of a half eaten serving online. The dish is 2 large blackened chicken breasts, smothered in homemade sweet-creamed corn, apple cider bacon slices, shredded cheese blend, diced tomatoes and chives. Served over garlic smashed red potatoes. It’s a huge amount of food for $16.

We both ate every morsel. If we’d been at home I would have licked my plate.

When you’re here, let’s go eat there!

    I have tried other things from their menu. My opinion about any given restaurant is based on how well they do Nachos? They’re ok. Buffalo wings? They’re ok too. And the “Fork” is famous for their smoked meats, which are also ok, but it’s not as good as in Missouri. They don’t have Hickory wood down here. They have to use Pecan instead.
    But Shamalama Smothered Chicken??? There is no other meal I’ve ever had anywhere that compares to this. It is a totally unique dish. (FYI, we were in the Air Force for 23 years, stateside and over seas, and have eaten in innumerable restaurants.)
    Laurie is right. If you come to visit us at Grathen’s Last Resort, you’re going to be at the Twisted Fork sometime before you leave. You WON”T be disappointed!
