The Hare and Hound in Landrum

Landrum is unique. That's a start.... Sitting at the foot of the hill, Landrum is the first in the String of Pearls and looks and feels more like a mountain town in North Carolina than it's closest South Carolinian neighbors. The town is quaint and inviting. It's main street has a number of merchant shops that have the look, feel and quality of a destination village. The anchor store of this experience is the Hare and Hound. A restaurant pub with a rich textured atmosphere substantiated with a diverse, home style menu with absolutely delicious food. I began today's lunch with White Bean and Ham Soup. Yummmeee and a perfect antidote to this mornings chill in the air. A thick, creamy, beanie soup with deliciously blended bits of ham. Followed by Fish and Chips that rival Hannah's and Black Rose. The home run today was an Irish Coffee made with Baileys Irish Cream, Jameson Irish Whiskey and a head of whipped cream delicately perched on a toothpick scaffold skillfully constructed by our hostess who has been with The Hare and Hound for 10 years. I understand... it was hard to us to leave as well.
Hold the phone Honey Child! Later this evening it dipped into to our "Hound Bag" and tasted Tess's take home "Honey Child Sandwich". This sandwich deserves its own honorable mention. The Honey Child, described on the menu simply as homemade chicken salad with almonds and honey sauce on a toasted croissant, is magnanimous in its understatement. The Honey Child is a talent show of taste and  worthy of adoption.
