South of Charleston: Bowan's Islands - Oysters gathered in the afternoon are roasted on a pit at the front of the room and brought to your table by the shovel full. Kentucky: Paduccah: Skinheads. Breakfast captial of the south. You can smell the Country Ham frying clear across the parking lot. Harrodsburg: Beaumont Inn - Mecca for those who appreciate fine, aged country ham. A nearby farmer ages the ham for a year and then they hang it for another. Their ham has the color and texture of "fine corrinthian leather" and is as smooth tasting a country ham as you'll find anywhere. Tennessee Memphis: Charlie's Rendevous for "dry" ribs. Some of the best ribs I've ever chomped. Four Way Grill - Best fried chicken and Peach Cobber around. Georgia: Atlanta: If you're running low on grease, drive-in to the Varsity, by Georgia Tech of I-85. It's an American institution. Alpharetta: Dixieland Diner - The foods okay and the waitresses are right out of Petticoat Junction. Enjoy, Holly Moore
