Miss Peaches Soul Food Kitchen
201 Missenden Rd
Newtown, NSW, 2042
Pop your poodle skirt over a crisp crinoline, or pull on your penny loafers with wide cuffed jeans, and head on down to this rockabilly hang – Miss Peaches. A juicy slab of Brisket ($24) brined in Archie Rose Rye and honey, is served up simply with red eye gravy, pickled cucumber and golden tater tots, on vintage green & white speckled enamel tin plates. Likewise the Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf ($19), made extra tasty by a combination of pork shoulder and beef brisket, and a clever secondary sear, is whacked onto a plate with super-creamy stone ground grits and another excellent gravy.

As the weather gets colder and the desire to head out decreases, I was tempted by a night in and to make an order through Foodora. Scanning through my options, this caught my eye as it had biscuits and gravy as well as mac n cheese. Both very much side dish staples of southern US cuisine. With that in mind I quickly ordered and it was made and delivered in quick time. The delivery girl was super friendly.
Decided on ordering a few things (bit of a pig out and leftovers are always good!). Biscuits And Creole Gravy was excellent. The biscuit (note singular and not more than one!) was large and fluffy. The accompanying gravy was lovely and perfect for dunking in. The Mac 'N' Cheese was nice but nothing extraordinary. Golden Creole Gumbo had nice chunks of chicken and andouille sausage. The stew was hearty and the braised rice soaked up the sauce. I also got some cornbread (another classic southern dish) to mop up more of that sauce.
