Deviled eggs are a retro treat at Jones. TAMMY PAOLINO/Courier-Post
In our efforts to eat spectacularly, we sometimes forget to eat simply. Which is why some foods become a bit lost in the shuffle.
Today, I'm thinking of deviled eggs, probably because I just ate some delicious deviled eggs at Jones, Stephen Starr's retro comfort food zone in Philadelphia.
Served as an appetizer, and without irony, the eggs were whipped to perfection and sprinkled with the tiniest chives I've ever seen. We gobbled them up.
I was moving some cookware around in my kitchen on Sunday and was reminded that I actually own a very attractive Pennsylvania Dutch-style deviled egg dish. Need to find an excuse to put it use.
P.S. I did try to replicate in my kitchen another dish we had at Jones - their sweet and savory coconut rice side featuring raisins and almonds. Flying without a net (or recipe), my results were OK, but certainly not spectacular.
If you have a great recipe for coconut rice you'd like to share, post it here or send it to me at tpaolino@camden.gannett.com, and I'll publish it here.
Meanwhile, time to buy some eggs.
