It's time for a road trip or 2.
From Southern Living, The South’s Most Legendary Restaurants Have Outlasted Trends—And Still Set the Standard.
The Old Mill and Restaurant is included.
Back in the 90s we went to the Highlands Bar & Grill in Birmingham, owned by the same chef for Bottega, we were thoroughly impressed.
Never been to Commander's Palace in New Orleans, but went to Brennan's for brunch, again in the 90's. What a wonderful experience. Was introduced to the best grits ever.
My parents went to The Historic Boone Tavern Hotel & Restaurant in Berea, KY, several times when traveling from Knoxville to Cincinnati to visit family. Don't know if they liked the food the best or the arts and crafts community. We've been to Berea a few times for the arts and crafts.

Located in Clarksburg, West Virginia, The Wonder Bar Steakhouse has grown from a small intimate dance hall to a historic location that fosters a warm, traditional steakhouse feel. In 1946, John and Betty Folio opened the doors of The Wonder Bar Steakhouse for the first time.
We spent a week or more nearby installing a banking system. Certainly surprised to find such a delight back in them thar hills.
