Happy Tuesday!
As you may begin to realize, my favorite traveling activity usually involves finding amazing hiking trails, either near a city, or off the beaten path. My 2nd favorite activity? Well, when you spend all of that time hiking, you usually work up an appetite, so you always want to make sure your handy dandy Yelp! app, or TripAdvisor app have some great local spots for you to experience. Why use the word experience, because eating should always feel like an experience.
Speaking of amazing experiences take a drive down Highway 72. It will take you wonderful places such as Huntsville and Chattanooga. You can even stop in some wonderful towns such as Corinth, MS, which is about a 90 minute drive from Memphis. If you do happen to stop in Corinth, make sure it is for breakfast. That way you are able to experience Abe's Grill. This is run by a local family, and everything, yes, everything is made from scratch. I had some really, really good egg biscuits, with a "side of pancakes", and the best part was that the meal was prepared right in front of us. Terry, my buddy and hiking companion for the weekend, had pretty much what I would call a "Hungry Man's Breakfast", which a little bit of everything. Those biscuits are similar to the biscuits you might find at Loveless cafe, only better. Mom, Dad and adult son named Ryan pretty much do it all. You can get seasonings, coffee mugs and even some Abe's Grill t-shirts. I definitely will be coming back one day. The only downfall is that they are closed on weekends, but they deserve to be without all the hard work and love they put in to that place.
Terry with the photo bomb, but look at all the stuff!
FYI - I have become a little obsessed with avoiding interstate travel these days, and Highway 72 is one of my favorite ways to get out of Memphis for a short weekend trip.
