It’s hard to believe we are on our third back road restaurant journey. If you had told me four years ago I would be the author of three restaurant cookbooks today, I would never have believed it. Yet, here we are traveling to Tennessee after our big adventures to Alabama and Kentucky. And what an adventure it was getting to know The Volunteer State, her people, and most enjoyably, the many outstanding family-owned restaurants.

Home to the Grand Ole Opry, Graceland, the Peabody Hotel, Mud Island and some of the most beautiful winding rivers God ever created, Tennessee is a

Western Region

On the road again . . . this time to Tennessee, the third state in our State Back Road Restaurants Cookbook Series.

Eastern Region

beautiful state to travel while listening to the country music that rings throughout the area. And, of course, while you discover this state’s natural wonders, you just may run into the biggest country stars around eating in locally owned restaurants. You know they love good food, too. There is nothing better than sitting down to a table full of the best cooking from the best recipes from Grandmother’s recipe collection. That is what you find in Tennessee—people who are proud of their heritage and still pride themselves on cooking to please the people they serve.

In the Western Region of Tennessee we’ll experience a “Blast from the Past” at Kokomo’s 50’s Diner where you can grab a burger and malt, sit in the back of a 59 Cadillac, and enjoy rich goodness like you haven’t tasted since the 50’s. Listen to Golden Oldies while enjoying the best burger south of the Mason Dixon Line. Then head for Memphis where you will be expecting great barbecue. Tom’s Barbecue and Deli and Central BBQ will both satisfy your taste for outstanding Memphis-style barbecue. And if you are looking for something a little different, stop in at DeJAVU’s and let Gary Williams cook you up some of the best Cajun

Central Region

food you have ever tasted. Grab a bowl of Shrimp Creole and let your taste buds send you down river to New Orleans. Our last stop will be in Tiptonville to enjoy Fran’s Meatloaf along with some delicious Hash Brown Casserole at Boyette’s Dining Room. They have been serving classic, down-home goodness since 1921 and are one of the oldest eating establishments on Reelfoot Lake. Come as you are and enjoy a meal made by the best cooks in Tennessee.

Traveling on to Central Tennessee, visit Cookeville and stop in at Ralph’s Donut Shop. Tell Mark I said “Hi,” and “Thanks for being the first place in Tennessee to commit to our book.” In business since 1962, Ralph’s daughter Cynthia and her husband, Mark, run about 200 dozen donuts each day so they are always fresh. Another favorite place is Mike’s All American Diner in Shelbyville. Stop in on Wednesday morning or every second Saturday evening and shake a veteran’s hand because they fought for our freedom. While you are there, check out the Wall of Honor, and if you have a vet in your family, send Ms. Leisa Burris a picture and she will put it on the wall. Vets are near and dear to her since her father, Lawrence Edward Cantrell, was in the Air Force. He died just 6 weeks after Leisa opened the restaurant where she serves southern home style foods made from recipes handed down for generations. Next, get in your car and travel on to Hendersonville for a taste of the islands at Barefoot Charlie’s where they like to say, it’s all about “island attitude at local latitude.” I hope you will kick back, relax and enjoy their tropically-inspired menu while finishing your meal with a delicious piece of their key lime pie which is always made fresh in-house.

Now let’s hit Eastern Tennessee and drop in to see Jake Jacobs in Rogersville to eat at Amis Mill Eatery and enjoy the experience of fine food cooked like it was back in

the day. Sitting on the banks of Big Creek overlooking a dam and waterfall, it’s hard to say which is best, the food or the views. Leaving there, we’ll travel to Carl’s Drive In in Loudon and grab a couple of his Dip Dogs still made today with the original recipe Carl perfected way back when they first opened April 1969. Another favorite is The Plaid Apron in the Sequoyah Hills community near the University of

9

Tennessee. A small café serving breakfast lunch and dinner, make sure you get a bowl of their Winter Stew along with a good thick slice of their homemade bread. Man, talk about good. Before leaving the area, don’t miss a visit with Steve and his daughter Lizzie to pick the finest and freshest tomatoes ever eaten at Tennessee Homegrown Tomatoes. With 25 acres of fields overlooking Cherokee Lake, they also have bedding, vegetable plants and hanging baskets for sale.

Have I made you hungry? You should be; I certainly am. There are so many outstanding restaurants in Tennessee and this book would not have been possible without the people who run those restaurants with a passion for a great food. I want to thank every restaurant for taking the time to speak to me personally about their business allowing me to share with you what makes their restaurant special. In addition to the people of Tennessee, there were others, behind the scenes, helping to make this book a reality.

I want to thank first and foremost our Creator. To Him goes all the praise and glory I can give him. Cyndi and Sheila, all my thanks, as always, for making each and every page of the book beautiful. Roger, you always pick me up when I need you most. Brooke, thank you for not letting me get discouraged when I struggle to get the last restaurant or the last bit of information to complete a book. To my fellow team members—Christy, Krista, Tory, Amber, Pam, Diane, and Sheree—thank you for your daily support. As they say, there is no “I” in “Team” and because it takes a team to be successful, I’m thankful for the opportunity we have to work together each day.

It is my sincere hope that this book captures the wonderful hospitality and unique flavor of the people and places of Tennessee. Now you have the guide to take you to these outstanding restaurants, so jump in your car and go experience the goodness of Tennessee and remember… always eat the best… always “Eat Locally!” I do.

Dyer’s CaféTown Square

101 North Center StreetCollierville, TN 38017

901-850-7750www.dyerscollierville.com

Did you know the first hamburgers were fried in skillets? In 1885, Charlie Nagreen, known as “Hamburger Charlie” invented the burger with “flattened” meatballs cooked in skillets at the Seymour Fair. The Dyer family legacy of uniquely seasoned meals began about the same time. Elmer Dyer, who was known as “Doc” for his family’s “secret and ageless grease,” heard of “Charlie’s” Hamburger. In 1912, Doc opened Dyer’s Café using his “secret recipe” to cook this invention called a Hamburger. This method of cooking burgers in a skillet, which is strained, sautéed, and seasoned daily, is still in use today at Dyer’s Café. Come and enjoy!

Daily: 10:00 am to 9:00 pm

Doc’s OriginalDoc’s Original is a true old-fashioned American hamburger. It is served “old-fashioned” with mustard, pickle and onions or “all the way” with mustard, pickle, onion, lettuce and tomato. All Dyers Café burgers are served with 1, 2 or 3 hamburger patties. Each patty comes from a hand-rolled 3-ounce meatball which is flattened by hand with a wooden mallet and a large, stainless steel spatula. Doc’s Original is served with or without cheese on a traditional hamburger bun, with a pickle spear on the side and accompanied by hand-cut fries.

25Western Region

Hand-Battered Fried Pickles

Hand-Battered Fried Pickles are a newer item on the menu, but they are full of down-home goodness. We use a unique oval cut pickle (different from the ones on the burgers) that’s a cross between a dill and a bread and butter. The pickles are dipped in a milk/buttermilk mixture and hand-battered in seasoned flour. They are then deep fried until richly golden brown and served with St. Clair Ranch for dipping.

The Split DogThe Split Dog is one of “Doc’s” original creations. This hugely gratifying hot dog consists of two premium all-beef hot dogs, split down the middle, and crisscrossed on a hamburger bun, topped with mustard, pickle and onion. Cheese, chili and other great fixings are optional. Served with a pickle spear.


Crystal Shrine GrottoMemorial Park Cemetery

MemphisSitting quietly on the urban fringe, hidden in the interior of Memorial Park Cemetery, is Crystal Shrine Grotto built by artist Dionicio Rodriguez in the 1930s. On the National Register of Historic Places, this handmade cave constructed of rock quartz crystal and semiprecious stones illustrates “Christ’s Journey on the Earth from Birth to Resurrection.”

To access Crystal Shrine Grotto, you walk through a door in a large concrete tree stump —Abraham’s Oak—named for “the founder of the Hebrew Nation.” When first walking into the grotto it is very much like walking into an actual cave—it’s dark and there are stalactites and stalagmites. You will soon notice, however, unlike a real cave, there’s soft music playing and every available surface is absolutely covered in crystals. The crystals form frames for dioramas that depict Christ’s journey on Earth. All of the highlights are there (the Nativity, the Last Supper, the Resurrection) as well as some more obscure moments, all carved in rock quartz crystal, semi-precious stones and wood.
