Description

The phrase "comfort food" has been bandied about so much that it's become a cliché. Stale notion or not, the Blue Owl satisfies these longings in a country-diner atmosphere. Owner Mary Hostetter's Texas roots are evident in menu items such as biscuits and gravy topped with crumbled pork sausage, chicken-fried steak with country gravy and red-velvet cake. The influence of German immigrants on this region is also apparent, with German potato salad and German chocolate cake, cheesecake and pie. Even the Great Flood of 1993, whose roiling waters threatened to engulf Kimmswick, is commemorated with "levee-high apple pie."

With the rising cost of gas, a Sunday drive isn't just a pleasure excursion anymore, it's an investment. If you're going to put your capital into ten dollars' worth of gas, it had better pay off some serious returns. It must be said that Mary Hostetter's pies at Kimmswick's Blue Owl are more of a liquid asset than a security; it's really not in your best interest to hang onto them for too long, even if you have the willpower. They possess that increasingly rare commodity: a flaky crust, the kind that falls to pieces with just a tap of the fork and melts in your mouth. The fillings are made with whichever fresh fruit happens to be in season (and sometimes sweet cream). These melt in your mouth as well. The Blue Owl does have a few liabilities. It's been in business since 1985, when Hostetter decided to leave the farmers'-market circuit and set up a restaurant, so it's not much of a secret anymore. Prepare to do battle with tour groups and other Sunday drivers who've come to check out the old-fashioned charms of Kimmswick. But oh! The pie! Even at five bucks a slice, you'll get such a nice return on your investment, you'll be tempted to try to corner the market.

Their country-fried steak is out of this world...and I don't even LIKE country-friend steak! The gravy....mmmmm. And the big honkin' huge square biscuit is fantastic! As for desserts.... too many to pick a favorite!
