Bluegrass Grill

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.

Bea’s Restaurant

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.

Papous Greek Cuisine

Last night my hubby and I were lucky enough to try Papou’s. The place has been downtown for a number of years. We just never got around to going there. I have to say that the food was very good and I will be going back there. I has heard good things about the place for a number of years and was very happy to see that it is a Authentic Greek Restaurant not a fast food Greek restaurant. I had the Tilapia Papou’s Style which is baked in a tomato sauce with Feta Cheese. We picked a good night to go. It was a slow night and not too busy. The food was and service was worth the drive to downtown Huntsville. If you want Authentic Greek Food then this is the place to go.
