Guiding you to some good eateries

When I was a boy and lived on the west Tallassee side of town and when I could scrape up enough money to eat out, my favorite eating place was Bailey’s Café on South Ann Avenue. By today’s standards, it would be a hole in the wall. The café was no more than 16 feet wide and as long as the buildings on the street. A full meal was around 80 cents. The average cotton mill worker was making 75 cents on hour. I went to work in the mill when I reached the age of 16 and those hours came hard. So, to eat out was a treat. 

Since that time, I’ve eaten in restaurants all over the world and have come to the conclusion some, or leave out the some and say most, of the good restaurants can be found close to home. When I’m not working, I like to get out and go — just go. I like to travel the backroads, dirt roads and out-of-the-way roads to see what I can see, and let me add, I haven’t seen it all yet.
