Weekend Brunch. The Look: Though the exterior of the oddly shaped building near the Oconee River Greenway is not particularly remarkable-looking at first glance, the interior melds hominess, trendiness and refinement. Menu: A creative spin on Southern standards. The fried chicken is brined in sweet tea, the pork chop is mojito-marinated and the Country Captain can come with chicken or tofu. A full slate of sides and appetizers (e.g., mashed sweet potatoes, fried green tomatoes, coconut Basmati rice, goat cheese topped with toasted pecans) as well. A diverse selection, ranging from tofu stir fry to biscuits and gravy to chocolate cake, in the morning.
