Cracker Barrel and Waffle house don't fit the fast food mold, but have the consistency. That Nathans was an exceptional stop. Imagine going through the Carolinas before franchising, and eating hit or miss. Without local knowledge you don't know what crap you'll be fed. That's why we always brought a cooler and made up our own food back in the day. --Vic YABBUT, some of the best little restaurants are within two miles of the Interstate, generally in small towns. Steve You'd better believe it! Traveling by car is a great way to see the U.S. and ferret out decent local cuisine. I like the fact that certain areas have different cultures and foods. I could spend six months in Louisiana! Yep, be a great place to start! |

I said, it was really good but the skin was a bit tough, but I finally got it. She said "Sir!You're not supposed to eat the skin!" I have noticed that they've taken it off their menu. Probably got sued. Cracker Barrel...our alternative to Waffle House when rolling down I-95... There's so much really bad food offered at the "just off the Interstate" restaurants, it's really nice to come across a Cracker Barrel at dinner time. Many years ago, soon after you crossed into South Carolina (I think it was SC) heading south, there was an enclave of shops and restaurants on the east side of the highway, the biggest being a well-advertised place that sold cigars. I don't remember the name of that enterprise. JR's - it's in North Carolina just a little north of the border with South Carolina. There's one along 77 too. If you want to find a microcosm of "what is wrong with America," look at the just terrible food available along the interstates. There are a couple of exceptions, such as Waffle House and Cracker Barrel, but generally...what's offered is just the worst of the worst. We agree all around. Waffle House is the best greasy spoon chain in the world and the food ain't half bad. We never tried Cracker Barrel until last summer - Tim mentioned it and we tried it out. Not bad at all. Love their chicken fried steak - it's doesn't like me unfortunately. I'm in California, no Waffle House, no Cracker Barrel. We do have In n Out Burger. Turnip greens, collard greens and mustard greens, I like em all with plenty of fatback and hot sauce. Unfortunately, my wife is a yankee and my kids do not like em so I either have to visit my parents or go to Cracker Barell (cracker barell only has kinda weak turnip greens, not the stronger flavored collards). I never liked chitterlins, kinda a nasty taste. One southern thing I like but cannot get much of is real cane syrup on biscuits. True cane syrup is very strong flavored and slightly greenish tinge, definitely a taste you have to grow up with to like. Real southern cooked vegies always have bacon or fat pork cooked with em and they are cooked till soft, not just steamed. I do hate Okra (except in Gumbo) but I haveta pretend to like it cuz friends give me so much of it... You'd love this place http://www.bluewillowinn.com/ In Social Circle, GA, just outside of the Atlanta metro area. If you ever get down this way and have time to spend, it's well worth the side trip. Lots of antebellum mansions in the town, and then the food at the Blue Willow.... |

The jetties were always one of my favorite inshore places to fish when we lived in the area, plus, you could stop at Singleton's on the way home for a damned fine meal. I also liked the ramp near the White Shell bait and tackle operation on the ICW just north of the river. Heading up the ICW from there are about a zillion places to catch trout, reds, flounder, et cetera, and then we'd head out to Nassau Sound for whiting. Also liked St. Augustine fishing once we moved down there. We lived a little south of the seaplane basin at the St. Augustine airport, but on the other side of the ICW. |

Only a true southerner even knows what chittlins are. When she would cook them, the smell was so bad the flies would be covering the screen door trying to get out. One of my golfing buddies has a small farm out by Nokesville, VA. He keeps me in collard greens most of the year. I'm not wild about spinach either, but if the store has the bags of fresh stuff on sale I may cook up a few bags. Fresh spinach is altogether different from canned. -- John H Fresh spinach is delicious. I just can't eat the steamed stuff. Tried it as a kid, gagged like crazy. At age 35, tried it again, it looked and smelled really good. Gagged again. Now at age 72, don't think I want to try it any more. Do any fishing out at the jetties? As a matter of fact, I did yesterday. Took my landlubber son-in-law for the morning. He caught a 4 foot long bonnet head, which I refused to let join us in the boat. We then went upriver to my favorite sweet spot for big reds. He caught a 42 inch female, which we promptly released, of course. I caught couple of undersized black sea bass. Came close to making him walk back to the Mayport ramp. The jetties were always one of my favorite inshore places to fish when we lived in the area, plus, you could stop at Singleton's on the way home for a damned fine meal. I also liked the ramp near the White Shell bait and tackle operation on the ICW just north of the river. Heading up the ICW from there are about a zillion places to catch trout, reds, flounder, et cetera, and then we'd head out to Nassau Sound for whiting. Also liked St. Augustine fishing once we moved down there. We lived a little south of the seaplane basin at the St. Augustine airport, but on the other side of the ICW. The White Shell ramp is no more. The little bar, bait store, and camp ground is gone. I think the city bought the land for conservation. Lots of campers still use the site year round. Haven't done much fishing toward St. Augustine. |

And there was a place that served steak and eggs for a dollar...steak, eggs, fries, toast...a buck. Coffee was a buck. We didn't have that sort of food readily available in New Haven. But we had lots of European immigrants, and therefore lots of Italian, Hungarian, German, French restaurants, and thanks to the foreign language school at Yale, some really top-drawer Chinese restaurants. |

I went out Saturday and had a blast with the niece and great-nephews. I plan on going several times more this years if fuel stays low. What? You have your own business - just charge it off. :) Went float tubing Saturday. Does that count? Do you own your own business? :) Truce on political posts? I'm in.. But can I still tweak Loogie off line? snerk Hell yeah, you can. Just be prepared to suffer the consequences!!!! I eat at Cracker Barell just so I can get their bowl of turnip greens and ham. My wife, being a true southern belle, likes greens and is always trying to get me to try them...again. She always orders greens when they are available at Cracker Barrel. It's an acquired taste, I think. I don't like them. Agreed - kind of like brussel sprouts. And cauliflower. Cauliflower is good. Makes a great delivery system for good cheese sauce. |
