DEL.ICIO.USWhat’s the best meal you ate over spring break?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Some of the most memorable parts of a vacation are the meals.
We traveled to North Carolina and Tennessee last week, visiting relatives and catching up with old friends. We tried amusement park chow at Dollywood (bad barbecue, greasy potatoes and onions and fabulous kettle corn), California-style burritos at Mamacita’s in Asheville (yum) and cooked many meals ourselves. Gas prices really cut into what we could spend on food this trip, so we prepared many meals ourselves.
And of all the meals we cooked, the best was a simple chicken that my husband grilled the last night of our trip, seasoned with a dry barbecue rub and cooked over indirect heat. We finished the meal with homemade chocolate chip ice cream. It was a lovely, relaxing end to a great vacation — unlike the restaurant where we ate last night, where two children and a doting father, or maybe uncle, shrieked and sang right by our table, so loudly that even my rambunctious 8-year-old complained about the noise.
What about you? If you took a trip over spring break last week, what was the most memorable meal? If you stayed in town, were the restaurants quieter than usual?

We went to Warm Springs for a few days on spring break. Best meal was at the Bulloch House. Great southern cooking and they had carmel cake. My favorite! Also, a great meal at Mac’s barbeque..I personally didn’t have the barbeque but their vegetables were wonderful especially the sweet potatoe souffle.

I’m not sure this qualifies as a true spring-break-time event, but Friday before last I had the lamb sliders from Taurus.
WOW! Fantastic! They should become a permanent menu item IMO.

The best meal I had this weekend, was in Pine Mountain, GA, at a restaurant called Crickets. I had the best Ribeye steak there, and my mother had the fried catfish. She cleaned her plate, but I had to get 1/2 of my steak to go.
We were also in Warm Springs, but didn’t eat there. We just antique’d…

In Charleston, we went to La Fourchette. They have the most amazing pomme frites fried in duck fat. Also the cassoulet was phenomenal. The pricing is reasonable and we thought the whole meal was a great value. They don’t have a web site, but here is a link to a review: http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A10371
