(S)27. SHOO MAMA'S FARM FRESH CAFÉ (1211 Wilmington Pike, West Chester; in The Commons of Thornbury) Not so
long ago, a little boy sat at the dinner table awaiting his
Mamaw’s fried chicken and dumplings. One helping after another - blissfully unaware that his beloved fried chicken ran
around the farm earlier - he pushed his plate away, leaned
back, rubbed his belly, and declared, “Shoo, Mama! That sure
was good!” This love of home-cooked, farm-fresh food and
memories from our grandparents’ farms drive us to bring the
