On a random Tuesday, my family drove to Subic to go grocery shopping. Well, that was not entirely why we went there, but we did stop by the supermarket. Afterward, we ate in a restaurant that served Southern cuisine. When I opened the menu, I ignored all the pictures of the juiciest-looking racks of ribs and beef brisket because the one thing on the menu that caught my eye was a cornbread loaf that did not even have an image. We ordered it, and to my surprise, finished the entire thing all by myself. Since I fell in love with its texture and subtle sweetness, I had to make a homemade version and satisfy my cornbread cravings.
