南方味,南方情
“ 有時候,令人難忘的美味,並不完全來自於飯桌上的美食。很大部份是同桌共飯的美好陪伴,以及下了飯桌後,令人珍惜的一輩子情誼。”
Tumblr media
傑夫是我搬來亞特蘭大第一個認識的朋友。我會認識他是剛搬來亞特蘭大因為沒有車,上下班都得 Uber,他成了我的專用司機。傑夫今年74 歲,在喬治亞州出生、大學搬去佛羅里達,主修喇叭演奏,不像他其他同學喜歡邁阿密的海灘風情,畢業後他還是搬回了亞特蘭大。他結過兩次婚,現在的老婆是個中國人,帶著一個10歲大的女兒從中國搬來跟他住。每天的載送過程,他都會跟我分享生活,包括他和中國太太的隔閡,繼女的學習成長等等,我們變成朋友,即便後來我不再需要搭 Uber 上班,還是保持聯絡。偶爾我會陪他去看電影,吃晚餐,或是划船。傑夫對美食不太有追求,早餐他會去星巴克跟朋友見面,吃一包堅果配一大杯健怡可樂、中餐則是三明治加上一包薯片、晚餐用微波食品就打發或吃太太煮的飯。
我問他喜歡太太的料理嗎?他跟我抱怨不敢吃那些「看起來不知道是什麼的肉的中國料理」 (據他的形容應該是內臟類的食材)。我又問他喜歡吃什麼?傑夫說,他喜歡義大利菜、中東菜、還有羊排,但最習慣的還是「南方菜」。
我以前住在紐約,對美國南方菜的印象不外乎是炸雞鬆餅 (chicken and waffles) ,BBQ,或是燉的軟爛的甘藍 (collard green) ,水煮罐頭四季豆 (steam string bean)。比起美食薈萃的紐約,南方料理不怎麼能夠吸引我的目光。搬來亞特蘭大後因為住在郊區,附近不外乎是 MacDonald’s,Chick-fil-A,PopEyes 這些連鎖快餐店,儘管有不少質量不錯的墨西哥、韓國、越南餐廳, 但心中對亞特蘭大還是存有「美食沙漠」的偏見。
直到前陣子看了一篇文章才知道亞特蘭大其實在全美美食版圖中佔有一席之地, 老牌�� Fox Bros Bar BBQ 餐廳的漢堡被華爾街日報挑選為全美前三名,海鮮餐廳 Fishmonger 則被 Bon Appetit 票選 2023 年全美最佳餐廳。除此之外,當然不能不提幾家老牌的南方菜餐廳,如以鹹香鬆軟的比斯吉,和酥脆多汁的炸雞聞名的 Buttermilk Kitchen。
這篇文章喚醒我沈睡已久的味蕾,我開始上 Eaters Atlanta 或是其他美食網站搜尋亞特蘭大美食,打算按圖索驥,一一拜訪。其中幾家主打「當代南方」餐廳讓我躍躍欲試,而以農夫餐桌(farm to table) 概念出發、融合南方料理烹調精髓的米勒聯盟 (Miller Union) 就在我的前五名單上。
米勒聯盟 (Miller Union) 是被紐約時報知名專欄作家Sam Sifton 冠上「青疏魔法師」(Vegetable Shaman) 的 Steven Satterfield 和 Neal McCarthy 在 2009 年創立的當代南方代表性餐廳。取名米勒聯盟 (Miller Union),是因為餐廳地點過去曾是亞特蘭大知名的「米勒聯盟牲畜飼養場 」(Miller Union Stockyards),該牧場是在 1880 年代佔據亞特蘭大肉類加工區的整個街區,餐廳就設立在重新改造的舊有廢棄倉庫上。餐廳的菜餚根據季節不同來做變化,食材則購自當地小農,在一般常見的主菜中如燜燒排骨(braised short rib) 、烤里肌 (grilled pork loin)、牛排都不難看到南方料理的精神,配菜大都以南方料理常見的甘藍 (collard green) 、秋葵 (okara)、甜薯 (sweet potatoes) 來搭配,有時還見玉米粥 (grits)。
餐廳的另外一個亮點是做為「青疏魔法師」的 Steven Satterfield 對時蔬的烹飪用心,最受歡迎的前菜「雞蛋烘奶油芹菜醬」就以芹菜的清香佐平衡奶白醬的醇厚口感帶出雞蛋的滑嫩質地,簡單食材打造富含層次的味道讓美食家們讚不絕口。本身愛品酒的 Steven Satterfield 也在餐廳引進各式葡萄酒佐餐,餐廳還入圍 2019 年和 2020 年詹姆斯比爾德基金會「傑出葡萄酒計劃」決賽。近日,以法式加入南方、委內瑞拉元素聞名,入圍 2022 年傑出糕點廚��決賽克勞迪婭·馬丁內斯 (Claudia Martinez) 的加入坐鎮該店甜點,讓整個餐廳更具完整度,加上餐廳以永續發展和食在地方理念經營,自開張以來,在亞特蘭大的好評不斷。
為了這個心儀已久的餐廳,我特別選今年生日的時機,傳簡訊給傑夫問他能不能陪我去中城的米勒聯盟 (Miller Union) 慶祝我的生日。我跟他說這是賣南方菜的餐廳,他很爽快地答應。我們選定了我生日那禮拜的週六一起去探訪,我就像一個要遠足的小學生一樣,從週一就開始期待週六的到來。
到了約定日子,傑夫比我早到半個小時,他打電話跟我說,因為餐廳客滿,儘管預約了但是只能做到吧台座。「不過你猜怎麼著?因為我是長者,我又跟他們說要幫你慶生,所以我們有座位了!」。我高聲大喊,「你最棒了! (You are the best),等我一下,我馬上到。」
下了高速高路後,我跟著 Google Map 導航來到了一個辦公大樓,轉角是一面手繪塗鴉牆,米勒聯盟 (Miller Union) 就位在一樓。走進餐廳,沒有太多的華麗裝飾,而是用簡約感營造的現代空間,傑夫早已就位,窗外的夕陽灑在他的臉上,帶著他最愛的佛羅里達州立大學足球隊鴨舌帽的他,看到我站起來給我一個擁抱,開心的跟我說,「生日快樂!」。
我倆都坐下後,服務生送上了飲品單,問我們有沒有想要點什麼飲料或酒,看了一下酒單,有許多選自法國波爾多五大酒莊的葡萄酒,可惜我們兩個都不能喝酒,只能跟美酒擦身而過。服務生介紹了今天的菜單,前菜她推薦招牌長青「雞蛋烘奶油芹菜醬」以及夏日限定的「香草甜菜沙拉」,傑夫說他想吃沙拉,不過我對另一道前菜烤三層肉配橡果瓜 (Acorn Squash) 更有興趣。最後我們選了產地直送的「時蔬沙拉佐青檸優格油醋汁」做為前菜。傑夫因為餐餐都要有麵包,我們又加點麵包,服務生說麵包是亞特蘭大知名的獨立烘培坊「 Osono bakery」的酸種麵包,搭配餐廳調製的蜂蜜焦糖核桃奶油。
Tumblr media
當天主菜的選擇有每日鮮魚搭配季節鮮蔬、烤豬排佐甘藍甜薯、草飼牛排淋刺山柑醬 (capers-herb)、以及南方佳餚奶油蝦仁玉米粥 (Shrimp and grits)。服務生說今天的魚是產地直送的現撈鱒魚,我跟傑夫都屬意吃魚,但我說,「 壽星最大,我要吃魚~」。他最終讓賢要了一份三分熟的牛排。
我跟傑夫一邊閒聊,一邊等著美食上桌。不久,服務生端 上「時蔬沙拉佐青檸優格油醋汁」和麵包。這盤綠意盎然「時蔬沙拉佐青檸優格油醋汁」彷彿是剛從自家菜園摘下鮮嫩蔬菜,妝點上紅白的蕪菁,開心果和香草脆片,加上鮮脆的蘋果切片,散發著夏日的活力。青檸優格油醋汁則則盤底撲灑在盤底,襯托翠綠鮮蔬,沒有過多矯情的擺盤,隨性的方式呈現方式讓我倆沒有拘束的夾了一大匙放在盤裡。蔬菜入口爽脆,青檸優格油醋汁則醇厚中帶有清香,味道微酸但帶有回甘,傑夫吃了一口頻說「我喜歡這個沙拉醬」,我個人倒是沒有特別驚艷。隨後,我抹了一匙蜂蜜焦糖核桃奶油在烤得蓬鬆的麵包上,奶油夾雜著微甜顆粒感,應該是炒碎的砂糖混在奶油裡,吃起來微甜微鹹,平衡麵包的酸,我實在太喜歡這個奶油抹醬,又挖了一大匙放在嘴裡,享受鮮甜油脂在嘴裡化開的幸福,一旁的傑夫則是認真吃著麵包,連掉在桌上的麵包屑他都用刀子收拾在盤裡,再吃得精光。
Tumblr media
不久,我們的主菜也出場。我點的鮮魚配時蔬份量不大不小,切的方正、手掌般大小的烤鱒魚疊放在五顏六色的蔬菜上,蔬菜是南方常見的秋葵、番茄、玉米、混搭義大利料理常出現的的蕈菇和法羅麥 (Farro) 。傑夫的草飼牛排則看得出先煎後再炙燒,配菜則是一般西式料理常見的櫛瓜和彩椒。我給傑夫切了一小塊魚,要他先嚐。他吃了一口後,臉上散發光彩讚嘆「 Wow,我第一次吃到這麼好吃的魚」。我以為他誇大其詞,立即嚐了一口,Q彈的魚肉在嘴裡慢慢散開,隨即是一份從所未有的鮮甜在嘴裡化開,只有用少許的鹽的調味讓魚的原味更加凸顯,只能用一個「 鮮」字來形容這番令人難以忘懷的滋味。燉煮的蔬菜和法羅麥則用松露醬來調味,松露醬的濃郁以及不同蔬菜的甜味,加上魚鮮,讓整道菜多了許多層次。我尤其喜歡法羅麥和松露醬的組合,像是有嚼勁的燉飯,讓人一口接一口。比起「時蔬沙拉佐青檸優格油醋汁」,我覺得 Steven Satterfield 在這道菜將蔬菜與蛋白質各司其職卻又完美結合,更能凸顯他 「青疏魔法師」的美名。我和傑夫一起分享牛排,三分熟的牛排多汁鮮美,但是肉質卻有點柴,讓我有些失望,倒是刺山柑醬 (capers-herb) 令我印象深刻,吃起來有點像多了嗆辣感的羅勒青醬,中和了紅肉的厚重感。我看傑夫也不是特別喜歡這盤牛排,又切了盤中的魚給他,傑夫吃得津津有味,再次跟我說,「 我從沒吃過這麼好吃的魚」。
Tumblr media
吃完了主餐,服務生問我們要不要吃甜點,我倆因為都需要控醣,又再度跟美食擦肩。我問服務生,以後有沒有可能做減糖版的甜點提供給有特殊飲食需求的食客,她說她會向甜點主廚克勞迪婭建議。結完帳後傑夫再我說了「 生日快樂!」,並拿出了一張卡片,我看著卡片上的大狗哈哈大笑,給傑夫一個大擁抱。
我們走出餐廳的時候天還沒黑,夕陽的餘暉照在傑夫的臉上,他顯得有些疲憊。他說,「今晚真是美味一的餐,讓我重新認識南方料理 」,「 現在我要趕回家看我的大學聯盟足球,然後早早睡覺 」。我跟傑夫說很開心他能陪我來朝聖,也很開心能夠認識他這個朋友,我們各自踏往歸途。
「今晚真是美味一的餐 」,我一邊開著車一邊想著傑夫的話。是啊,真是是美味的一餐,然而,難忘的並不完全是食物的美味,有更多的是美好的陪伴以及分享食物的快樂,以及令人珍惜的,傑夫和我這份難得的情份。

When I found out that my beloved Waffle House originated in Atlanta, I just had to see the place for myself! When I finally arrived I was devastated to discover that it was closed!!! Luckily, there was an open location about 2 blocks up the street!! There, the waitress informed me that the original location is only open to the public a few times a year, but when they are, they give out free waffles!!! Wut wut!!! Gonna have to see when those magic waffle days are, and make a pilgrimage back to this little slice of nostalgic heaven! (Btw, I scorn those who call it the awful waffle..... You know it's some of the best food your gonna find at 3am...) . . . . . #wafflehouseforever #eatatlanta #foodadventure #weekendaway #guiltypleasure #travelforlife #foodie #southernfood #atlantafoodscene #foodbucketlist #wafflehouse #wheretoeatinatlanta #atlantafoodie #eattheweirdstuff #goodeats #goodeatsatlanta #sonyrx100v (at Waffle House)
