Skip the Fancy Restaurants – This Tennessee Fish House Is Where Crispy Catfish Steals the Show

Fried catfish sold by the pound sounds like a joke until you realize this spot means it. I like a restaurant that measures its main event on a scale instead of in tiny portions. The fish lineup goes beyond catfish too. Whiting, red snapper, and shrimp all share the fryer,...

This Small-Town Tennessee Pie Shop Serves Slices Worth Every Single Mile

A chocolate turtle pie took first place at the Tennessee State Fair four separate times. That same pie is still the best-seller at one small bakery on a historic town square. The menu goes far past that blue-ribbon slice. The shop offers more than 100 kinds of pie, from banana cream to a fruity creation called Tropical Storm. I can’t imagine reading that list without picking three favorites before lunch.

Changing restaurant landscape: Recent closures raise questions about impact on workers

CULLMAN, Ala. – Over the past several months, Cullman has seen a growing number of familiar restaurants close their doors, leaving vacant storefronts, disappointed customers and questions about the future of the city’s dining industry. However, beyond the loss of favorite gathering places, the closures have brought attention to another concern: the employees whose livelihoods depend on these businesses. Since August, at least six Cullman restaurants have announced or completed closures, including KFC’s south Cullman location, Puckett’s Restaurant, Wissota Chophouse, Lucy’s on 3rd, Augusta’s Sports Grill and Shrimp Basket. While the circumstances surrounding each closure differ, the concentration of shutdowns within a relatively short period has raised questions about the challenges facing local restaurants and what happens to their employees when operations come to an end. A series of closures One of the first major closures came in August, when the KFC restaurant in South Cullman Shopping Center served its final customers Aug. 16.

The KFC on Alabama Highway 157 remains open under separate ownership. “This has been an
