The Story
Converted from a 1903 drugstore into the breakfast diner immortalized in John Berendt's "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" as the gathering spot where locals gossiped over coffee. The book characters — including Joe Odom and Chablis — were regulars. Famous for hearty Southern breakfasts, especially the corned beef hash.
