Wild horses roam free across a 50,000-acre riding playground in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. Some riders spot them just off a trail marked 101. Those horses don’t travel alone, either.

Hush puppies, catfish, flounder, and piles of baby shrimp keep showing up in conversations about one seafood spot in the mountains. That alone made me stop and look closer. The fried platters here come in Calabash style. That means light breading, quick frying, and seafood that stays the star. The large platters are famously big, so take-home boxes feel almost guaranteed.

Locals Swear by the Giant, Juicy Cheeseburgers at This No-Frills Tennessee Burger Joint

The burgers here are half-pound patties, hand-pattied and cooked fresh to order. That means you’ll wait around 20 minutes, and nobody seems to mind one bit. The dining room holds only a handful of tables. A few more sit outside on a back deck. The building is old, simple, and clean, which feels exactly right for a place this focused on food.
