Wine and Dine Tips
Your visit to the deep south of Georgia should include at least on dinner of traditional food. An excellent example would be at PittyPat’s Porch Restaurant, named after Aunty Pitty from Gone with the Wind. Start with a traditional mint julep or moonshiners punch, and move onto gumbo, wings, ribs or shrimp and grits.
Another delicious stop on the southern “soul food” train is The Busy Bee Restaurant that opened back in 1947 and is still pleasing stomachs today. Experience true southern soul food cooked the way it’s meant to be. If you’ve a whole family of hungry youngsters, you can fill up on fried chicken, club sandwiches, soups, and salads, all for very reasonable prices.
Day Trips
For a great day trip, visit the Chateau Élan Resort Spa, Golf Course and Vineyards where you can walk the scenic grounds, play a round of golf, enjoy a massage. The separate wine tasting room offers a nice assortment of varietals and vintages to sip and purchase.
Take a drive south to the town of Juliette and have lunch at the Whistle Stop Café, made famous in the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes”. If you’ve never seen this classic movie, you should rent it before you go. Hint: it’s all about the “secret sauce”. If you’re brave enough, order their fried green tomatoes, and sip a real Coke from a glass bottle.
