Fans of Southern comfort foods will enjoy Peaches Hot House which now occupies the former Smoke Joint space in Fort Greene. Crispy fried chicken, cornmeal dusted catfish and jerk shrimp & grits are just some of the dishes you will find along with short ribs and the Hothouse Burger. The are house-made fried green tomatoes with applewood smoked bacon and homemade corn bread. Fried chicken, shrimps and catfish are available in three heat levels, including extra spicy. For dessert, there’s ice cream on a buttery brioche roll. Peaches also makes a great rum punch!
