On your way to Florida...

This post is a bit late, but for any of you driving to Destin this summer, if you use the route that exits
I-65 at Georgiana, AL.there is a little wood building next to the BP gas station that has killer bar bq! The name is Kendall's and there is no inside seating but there are 6 picnic table outside. Found this place on our way to Destin for spring break. Pulled pork is reeeeeaally good.
See ya

Some of the best restaurants are the small, out of the way places....when I was a kid (back in the '60's) we would take driving vacations to Florida from our home in Indy...this was before the interstate highway system was complete, and we often found ourselves detoured off the interstate onto US 31-W, US 41, etc....we always passed through Cave City, when it was really a bustling little tourist burg, and there was a small restaurant in the middle of town, on the same property as one of those old motor courts ...the motel name escapes me, but the restaurant was called "Young's" and they featured country cooking served in bowls ("family style"), along with the BEST homemade apple pie I've ever eaten (they supposedly baked it with molasses -- delicious)...we always made a stop either going down or coming back...I think the building remains standing in Cave City, but the restaurant is long gone....your post made me think about that place and how good it was.

I bet a book could be written on these kind of places by the participants of this site. Hmmm

Hey, Jerry, nice to see you here. (Assuming you're Jerry R, the wine guy. Or even if you're not!)

My general rule for any trip over about 75 miles is to get your snack food from the nice lady in the uniform with the tray of peanuts.
