I was in downtown Pottstown last week (interviewing your hard-working Borough Manager, Jason Bobst; look for that post in a couple days!), and I dropped in at Martha’s Famous on High Street in search of some cornbread.
It was just after 3 pm, and dinner was just a glimmer on the horizon, so I ordered up two pieces of cornbread and sat right down at a table in their large, air-conditioned dining area and it was just heavenly – all buttery and moist and lightly sweet. (Would one piece of cornbread have sufficed? I think not.)
Whenever I make cornbread, I follow the recipe on the box, and it’s always kind of dry. Do I ever learn my lesson and add more butter or oil to make it moist? No. I just keep following the directions. I really need to cut loose every now and then, to take a chance, to live! Or I can just stop in at Martha’s Famous and get my fix there, because there’s also some sweet potato pie and a pineapple upside down cake that I still have to try…

I enjoyed reading your blog about Martha’s Famous so much that I went and had a dinner. The food was delicious and the service was great. Yes, the cornbread was moist! Unfortunatelt they had sold out of the pineapple upside down cake which is my favorite. I will return for another dinner and hopefull cake!
I still have to try the cake as well. Just talking about it now will send me downstairs to see if I have my mom’s recipe and to try to make it myself. Although, at least in the early days, she made it in a cast-iron skillet and I definitely do not have one of those. Good luck on your next visit!
