I got to the restaurant just after closing time Monday night, but Jason, the owner, asked if I’d like a burger. He made me a great burger with melted cheese and a cornbread salad. Katie, the waitress, and Jason sat with me while I ate and we talked about organic food and farming and homesteading. Katie has two kids and she and her husband want to find a place in the country and plow the land with mules, be off the grid, and raise their own food. I told her she sounded just like a hippie girl from the 60s. Jason gets local food for his restaurant and prepares vegetarian and vegan meals as well as burgers and chicken. He’s the one who turned me on to the Palace restaurant, where I had breakfast the next morning. Here’s Jason’s Facebook page.
