We made it back home, but not without having had enjoyed just a few more Southern BBQ meals along the way. We stopped in Knoxville Tennessee for lunch and were lucky enough to bump into a restaurant called “Famous Dave’s”. They have five varieties of BBQ sauces at every table and encourage samplings with your meal. It is interesting to see how different BBQ sauce can be based on individual preferences and various regions throughout the United States. If you are ever traveling through Tennessee, this is a place worth visiting. The meat was very tender and the sauces are delicious.
While in Christiansburg Virginia, a local recommended we try a restaurant called “Due South”. This was also good and I had the awesome opportunity to try fried green tomatoes for the first time. Even though this is clearly not a “Delicious & Light” side dish, I just couldn’t resist. They were really good and I am determined to try to re-create some light version of this at home in the summer when our garden is up and growing.
Back home and back to cooking. I know there will be a roast turkey breast on the menu tomorrow and will let you know where I go from there with cooking it.
Until then, enjoy and happy samplings…
