Talima Davis and Allison Lamb sent us a note mentioning that their new cafe, Orchid, will have its grand opening this Saturday, October 10. Offering a gourmet take on soul food, the menu, according to New York magazine, lists breakfast sandwiches on sweet potato biscuits (breakfast will be served all day at Orchid), five-cheese macaroni with panko crumbs, pistachio-crusted chicken, and personal pizzas with lamb, onions, or peppers. The owners add that the cafe will, of course, offer a variety of coffees and teas as well as pastries baked on site. GMAP
