Really impossible to say . . . for now I'll say it's a close race between the buffet at the Blue Willow Inn in Social Circle, GA and the family-style dining at the Dillard House in Dillard, GA
My current drink of choice:
Straight Whiskey - lately been drinking a lot of rye, but bourbon or Scotch will also do nicely
I really wish I could:
Spend a year eating and drinking all over continental Europe
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
A parmigiana preparation - either chicken or eggplant
My favorite comfort food:
Smoked Meat of nearly any variety - beef, pork, chicken, fish . . .
My top 5 favorite restaurants:
Dillard House, Dillard, GA; Smitty's Market, Lockhart, TX; Sammy's Lebanese, Houston, TX; Horseman's Haven, Santa Fe, NM; and a dead-heat between India's in Houston and India Palace in Santa Fe
