May 17 anaheim packing district.

as with commissary, i had to stop by the anaheim packing district after seeing so many gorgeous photos on instagram. the former citrus packing house has been converted into a beautiful, two story sun-filled "food court" with lots of greenery and communal seating.

there are storefronts selling fish and chips, gelato, coffee, southern food, chinese hot pot, sushi and ramen, grilled cheese and much more amongst a couple bars and wine bars. there's even a stage area for live performances.

we're always on the search for good southern food, so when we saw georgia's restaurant, we just had to try it! james had the fried catfish, and i had the fried chicken. both came with two sides of our choice (collard greens, garlic rice, baked beans and mac'n'cheese for us!) and if you're not taking it to go, you also get a free order of their cornbread. everything was amazing. fried catfish is one of the foods james misses most, and it's hard to find it done well out here, but at georgia's it was super fresh and delicious. i really liked that they used the same cornmeal crust on their fried chicken too. unfortunately, we were too full to try anything else after our delicious southern meal.
