About this ebook
The world of fiction has officially entered the kitchen.
“The Mossback” made its first appearance in the pages of Thomas Fenske’s debut novel, THE FEVER, when owner Smidgeon Toll delivered a massive serving of Huevos Rancheros Especial to Sam, the book’s hero, and proudly exclaimed:
“There, what do you think of that?”
The description of gooey, spicy, goodness that followed spurred several readers to ask the author, “Is that a real dish?” Now you can find out for yourself!
Smidgeon strives to entertain with her quirky, homespun wisdom as she shares a mini-history of the cafe, along with insight into what has made The Mossback a unique and delightful locale in the world of fictional eateries.
Along the way you’ll learn how to make her awesome square biscuits and the locally famous Joe Toll’s Chili. She also reveals details about the full-sized heap of bacon they serve on THAT BLT and introduces readers to other favorites like the Double Trouble Dog and what has to be the Best-Danged Buttermilk Pie you’ve ever tasted. As an added bonus, she shares her famous Potato Salad Secret, a surprising and simple ingredient that will take even the best potato salad recipe and crank it up a notch, maybe two!
Simply put, these are all part of what would have made The Mossback Cafe famous, well, if it actually existed.
So hop out of your pickup truck and mosey on in ... there just might be some breakfast tacos or enchiladas lurking in your future.
