Knights of the Roundtable

I've been thinking a lot about local food and food-ways lately, and I've been wondering why we don't have restaurants like the Columbia Roundtable that I wrote about a couple of days ago.


From the very un-scientific research I've done, it seems like these places are only found in Mississippi. There is one in Vicksburg, McComb, and of course Columbia.
We barely put a dent in it...

The best fried chicken I've ever eaten...

I've heard tell of a new restaurant here in Nacogdoches that serves good, locally grown home-cooking. I'm pretty excited to try it before it catches on and get too popular. Unfortunately for me, it is only open M-F 11 -2.





In the meantime, I plan to attend the Quantity Foods luncheon being made by our SFA hospitality students next week. Next week's theme is local food and 100% of the meal is going to come from locally produced fruits, veggies and Bellebrook farm organic beef. For $10 diners will be treated to locally grown epicurian delights. The luncheon will be held Thursday, April 17 and starts at 11:30. Let me know if you are interested in getting a ticket to this super-cool event.

I would *love* to go to this lunch, but I'll be in Austin that day. Alas. Funny, I've never regretted being in Austin over Nacogdoches when it comes to food before... ha! Sounds great though. Also, there is a restaurant in Dallas that serves delicious meals homestyle like Knights. It's called Celebration and it's near the Inwood theater in Highland/Univ Park area. Try it sometime! You won't be sorry!
