Dirty South Wrap

Sorry for taking so long to post this.  This is another tasty item off the menu at Ella's.  Sunday is their "Soul Food Sunday".  I'm not sure if this item is on their regular menu.  The wrap contains eggplant, goat cheese, lettuce, zucchini, and hummus.  The goat cheese has a wonderful gamey flavor and is sharp and creamy.  The vegetables are nicely suateed.  I also got the dish with a side of sweet potato fries.  Very tasty.  They are lightly coated and fried.  There is a slight crispy texture on the surface of the fry with a soft interior.  The fries are slighty spicy and, since they are made of sweet potatoes, they are also sweet.

Unlike regular potatos, sweet potatoes are softer, so the texture will be softer and chewier than french fries.

Bloody Ella (Bloody Mary)

This is a nice, spicy concoction that has a homemade BBQ rub on the rim of the glass.  It is garnished with an olive and a lime wedge.  It has a strong tomato flavor with a good dose of horseradish.
