I could go for that.

Heck, I'd settle for the cornbread and butter.

COCA - COLA CAKE

2 c. sugar
2 sticks butter
3 tbsp. cocoa
1 c. Coca-Cola
1/2 c. buttermilk
2 eggs, whole, beaten

Combine sugar and flour in a mixing bowl. Heat butter, coca cola and cocoa to boiling and pour over flour and sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly. Add buttermilk, eggs, soda, vanilla and marshmallows; mix well. This will be a thin batter with marshmallows floating on top. Bake in a greased and floured flat pan at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Ice while hot.

Well, having been down here for 8 months now and trying every southern food I could find, Hash Brown Casserole, Hush Puppies, Fried Catfish and Fried Yellow Squash get my vote.

I took my daughter and son-in-law to Monteagle while they were here on vacation and we made a point of going to the High Point resturant, and although their website said they would be open, they were closed. It was about lunch time when we were there too. I also would like to know if they are still in business. I was dissapointed to find them not open. I had read on the website about the resturant supposedly being built by Al Capone for his mistress and that there were several hidden passageways to the roof and that under the floor was filled with sand, which was originally placed there to stop bullets. I have heard that the food was fantastic but I never got the chance to find out. I can tell you it is a beautiful place though with an outside patio that was set up for dinning when I was there.

I looked it up because it sounded so good.

High Point Restaurant


(Northcountygirl...Their hours say 5p to 9p Sunday through Thurs and 5p to 10p Friday and Saturday. So I guess they aren't open during the day.)
