Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As is typical of his work, Don O'Briant has filled his latest book with humor, insight, creativity and accurate information. He's a well-known Atlanta journalist and has a reporter's discerning eye. But he's also a philosopher and a warm and sympathetic observer of the human condition. Gratefully, his restaurant reviews aren't like other people's. You feel like you're really there and can experience for yourself the people, smells and sights he describes. The inclusion of comments by notable Southernors is an original and effective device. You can tell that he is a down-to-earth (but incredibly observant) person who genuinely likes the places he went and the people he met. And, best of all, he's a great judge of food. Zagat, take notice! I recommend the book highly.

Once they dotted the landscape like McDonald's and BurgerKing. Every town big enough to have a stop sign (and some that didn't)boasted of one or more meat-and-three restaurants that featuredcountry food and plenty of it. When the lunch whistle blew, everyonefrom lawyers and laborers to tourists and truck drivers stopped whatthey were doing and headed to the local establishment. These days,these country cafes and backroad buffets are as endangered as oldbarns, the victims of fast-food restaurants and frantic workschedules.But thanks to this new guidebook covering the states of the DeepSouth, you can now find your way to over 200 of these gems.
