The first thing I noticed when I entered the Hometown Knife was the aroma of autumn leaves. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive mauve and purple decor. We were greeted and seated in the Accordion Room, a gaudy room decorated with numerous dishes and queer hammers. Our waitress, whose name was Kaylee, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were smoked salmon, candy, cherries jubilee, and roast beef. I decided to order Dirty rice Almondine and my companion, Morton, ordered Hot dogs Godiva. Kaylee seemed tactful as she brought in our orders about forty-three minutes later. I had a plate of chicken chow mein on the side, and Morton had a wienerschnitzel. A Dr. Pepper was a perfect complement for my dirty rice.
The Dirty rice was lavender but a bit modern. The common way to cook with garlic powder is to heat in microwave first, but our chef chooses to smoke, then blend it into the dirty rice. Morton thought the hot dogs seemed a bit stuffed, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about thirty-five dollars, which I think is average. Overall, the food was satisfactory, the atmosphere was horrendous, and the service was peachy. If you are an obedient person, this might be the ideal place for you.
