In their numerous road trips across America, Anna and her father David have sought out restaurants unique to the area. At the northern terminus of The Natchez Trace - an historic 444-mile parkway stretching from outside Nashville, Tennessee to Natchez, Mississippi - there awaits a southern dining experience among the best below the Mason-Dixon line.
The Loveless Cafe has been feeding the masses southern staples including its world renowed biscuits for more than 60 years. For our blog viewers outside the South and our frequent international followers from Germany and Poland, southern comfort food usually involves varying degrees of lard in its preparation. A Loveless Cafe motto is "Praise the Lard and Pass the Biscuits." So indeed you will find it liberally used at The Loveless in its fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, and its grease-tempered vegetable dishes. In the South, gravy is a beverage...at The Loveless Cafe red-eye gravy and sausage gravy is on tap.
The wait for a table at The Loveless Cafe can be up to two hours as Anna and David can attest from their recent visit. But whether it's a hearty breakfast that is served all day or the menu's classic "meat and three" selections, satisfied diners usually leave the cafe extolling the virtues of their meal. The superlatives come frequently. "The best breakfast I ever had" said Martha Stewart. People magazine rated the country ham "best in America." And NBC's Willard Scott once declared that The Loveless Cafe made the "world's greatest scratch biscuits." Those biscuits have been featured on The Today Show, CBS' The Early Show, Food Network, and Late Night With Conan O'Brien.
