The hard rolls...when you speak of them with such reverence, I feel all swoony. I know you're from Poughkeepsie, but if I didn't, I'd have guessed east coast-ish.
Krystal's Hamburgers was started in Chattanooga. Moon Pies are made there now. I threw in RC Cola because what else are going to drink to wash down that burger and dessert?
Yes. My grandfather immigrated to America from Russia in 1912 and went directly to Chattanooga because he had family there. My father was born in Chattanooga and lived his entire life there. I was born in Chattanooga and moved to Atlanta after college.
When we'd drive down to the beach, we'd get off the freeway in Montgomery and go down through all the little towns, Opp and Luverne and Florala. I loved that drive. 331 took us down past Defuniak Springs all the way to 98. Were you closer to Dothan?
Italian take-out, fresh local pizza, deli meats and potato salad, hard rolls and crumb cake after Mass

I didn't know that about Krystal. I'm a White Castle gal myself. I understand they're pretty similar. So, Tennessee, eh?
Yeah. I'm a Tennessee Jew.
Did you grow up in Chattanooga?
Yes. My grandfather immigrated to America from Russia in 1912 and went directly to Chattanooga because he had family there. My father was born in Chattanooga and lived his entire life there. I was born in Chattanooga and moved to Atlanta after college.
Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with lashings of gravy.
British Isles! I could eat a whole pan of Yorkshire all by myself.
Fried clams, lobster, baked beans
Are we talking Boston?
minorcan clam chowder with datil pepper sauce 😋
I think I just learned a new kind of chowder! Is that a St. Augustine special?
Yup. Google and you should get some history, too.
Gonna!
If you can’t find the history let me know.
Fried catfish, cornbread, green beans, and ‘nanner pudding
Yum. Yes, please, to all.

From Opelika, near Auburn Univ. closer to Columbus, Ga than Montgomery. But went through similar towns on the way to the beach.
Coastal Carolinas or Georgia?
Mouth-watering. OMG, fried pies. Swoon.
Lobster, potato salad, blueberry pie.
Niiiice!
Maine?
New England?
Close. Maine.
It’s broadly Pennsylvania Dutch. In my family it’s accepted as breakfast food 😋
Lebanon bologna, shoofly pie, butterscotch Krimpets, Moravian sugar cookies. And how I love that family photo!
Lebanon bologna! Are we talking Ohio? Michigan? Wisconsin? (I love that photo, too, and I think it's the only picture I have of that epic day.)
Bethlehem, PA, baby!
Shoofly Pie makes me think of Amish food!
Absolutely right👍
we live on the the north shore but always say we are proud Bostonians!
Proud you should be! I love Boston.
Such a shame I can’t see your photo!
Oh, no! I wonder why? Next post I'll ask if anyone else had that issue. Maybe there's a glitch I don't know about and can fix!
Alabama, very close to the Georgia line. English heritage
