We've been spending a lot of time with Jon's family this week in town from the east coast and talking a lot about grandmother Nellie Knight and her family from south Georgia. We heard amazing stories of the family emigration from Scotland in the 1750s, fighting for the revolution in CT, "Cripple John Knight" limping all the home after defeat at Appommatox and uncle Jack being shot down in the pacific during WWII. A tough bunch, no doubt. Its always great when the family can get together and share our history.
"Southern Nights" Tuesday-Thursday:
-Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatoes, Collard Greens and Southern Corn Bread $16.50We've done this dish before and its always a huge hit. We're adding some real cornbread to the dish.
