You may find other good ones, but they won’t be better than this. I don’t know who’s reviewing all these places on line but many of the rankings makes no sense from my experience. Welcome to personal reviews and recommendations brought to you via the Momma Meter. Your momma might be your momma, or your wife. In my case, my momma wasn’t much of a cook, so my gauge is my favorite cook on earth (she knows who she is).
Momma Meter:
• 6/6: This dish feels like it came straight from momma’s kitchen; full heart, perfect technique, comfort that heals, no shortcuts, extra depth of flavor.
• 5/6: Almost there, missing just a little of that nurturing magic.
• 4/6: Solid, but more “good restaurant” than “momma’s table.”
• 3/6: Tasty, but lacks the soul-depth.
• 2/6: Functional, but no emotional warmth.
• 1/6: Just food, no momma energy.
