Tunicia, Mississippi

It is at this point we must discuss where I found all these delicious restaurants. I found them from Jane and Michael Stern, the authors of Road Food. This book and their website have been invaluable. Their team has been kind enough to let me use pictures from their website which is now needed as we started getting more lazy and more hungry.

We headed out of Memphis at night and entered highway 68 and the Mississippi delta. We found a charming little dump to stay in, in Tunica a town surrounded by casinos. Using our books we discovered we were just up the road from the Blue and White Restaurant.

It was a charming little restaurant in an old gas station. We entered early in the morning and found the place fairly busy. We ordered and took in the scene. Molly happened to notice that she was the only female patron in the establishment. I realized then I was in for a tasty southern breakfast. I was not disappointed Super salty country ham was the star with a nice crust from the flat top. A nice moist fluffy biscuit to boot.
