Lambert’s Cafe, Foley, AL

The only home of throwed rolls!

by Emily Farrington Smith | January 26, 2012

After seeing Lambert’s Café on a Food Network special about great places to stuff your face, husband and I decided that that is exactly the place for us. And so, we went.

There are three locations in the south, but we went to the one in Foley, AL (only about 30 minutes from Pensacola, so don’t worry—it’s not too far!). The exterior and interior decorations and ambiance is reminiscent of Cracker Barrel, …

Now, I am not, nor have I ever been, a runner. I have what you may call “American Thighs” so running for any extended period of time is sort of like dragging two tree trunks across the pavement.

Do you love eating? Do you love eating chili? What about cooking chili? The best chili recipe is, to a man, the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe to a woman; it’s just one of those dishes where most people feel as if they have the best recipe.
