Last night the hubby emailed me from work saying he wanted to go out for breakfast this morning. He said he would do some research and could I do some as well. I happened to be eating my dinner when I got his email. By the time I started doing my research he had already located the Bluegrass Grill and emailed me that it would be a contender. I said that would be fine with me. I did do some more research but just could not find something that was unique or a major chain. I do not mind chain restaurants in fact I eat at major chains quiet often. When traveling I like to try something that is local to the area that I am visiting. Other places we have been while on our trip to Chattanooga have been just that unique. We decided that would indeed go to the bluegrass grill this morning. It was not a bad experience at all I highly recommend the place. I had the Greek Omelet which is made with Feta Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese and Gyro Meat. Very tasty. You can order grits or potatoes with it. Being the good southern girl that I am I opted for the cheese grits. Hubby had the Spanakopita Omelet with Gyro meat. His was very tasty as well. He had grits also. I must say this place seems to have a decent business even on a weekday morning. They seem to know what they are doing. The grits were very good too. Most places that offer grits just do not know how to properly make grits I find. This place is the exception. The grits were not soupy nor were they lumpy like most places make. They were just the right consistency.

Well my hubby and I have been enjoying some good eats while in Chattanooga. Hubby was searching for a unique place to eat and came across Aretha’s. As my hubby posted on his blog this morning the photo of his waffle that he had. I tasted it and it was very good. I do highly recommend this place if you are in the Chattanooga area. I had the Italian omelet which was very tasty also. One strange thing I did notice about the place is that you can order a beer with your breakfast no kidding. It is a small restaurant in the art district of Chattanooga. If you are not paying attention you may miss the place like we did this morning. Hubby was paying more attention to the cars on the road than the building we were looking for.

This place was recommended to me by my father. After my dad graduated high school and spent a small amount of time in the military in the early 1950’s he lived in Chattanooga and worked for Dupont. This was all before he met my mother and started dating her. Anyway, my dad had said that we needed to try out Bea’s. So when I got back to Chattanooga yesterday we decided that we would go to Bea’s for dinner. It has been in Chattanooga for 60 years or more. I knew that my dad would not steer us wrong when it came to food. He may be a food snob but he does know good home cooking when he sees it. The tables seat 8 people and the food is placed on the lazy Susan that is in the middle of the table. Sweet tea and water are on the table and other drinks are available upon request. Last nights choices consisted of roast beef in gravy, potatoes, cole slaw, potato salad, cornbread dressing, pinto beans, bbq pork and peach cobbler for dessert. I think my husband ate his weight in peach cobbler no kidding.
