The WhistleStop Cafe started off as a meat &three. They are indeed the back bone of the south!
Hard to find a meal for less than $5 now. I'd give $6 for a heaping plate of greens, beans, okra, and chicken, right now! =D
Sandi,
Oh yeah. Pan-fried chicken.
I enjoyed your article, Kevin, and I appreciate the link over to MEATandTHREE.com within the article. Sounds like you have experienced a real variety of these entertaining and interesting places like I have.
You mentioned the term, "blue highways", in your article. That reminded me of a friend of mine, Stan Hitchcock, who started an entertainment network called BlueHighways TV (http://www.bluehighwaystv.com). There is some history behind the network's name, but as it says on their web site, "Blue Highways TV offers a window into the experiences, music, neighborhoods, art, festivals and celebrations that, interwoven together, define America’s vivid culture and character." Stan is a super person and has a real passion to promote the positive and good things that are going on in the country.
I thought you may be interested in hearing about it, especially since it is based here in Tennessee.
All the best,
Phil
Phil,
Thanks for writing. And thanks for the link to bluehighwaystv, that's my kind of channel.
Kevin, You did it again, great article, and good references. Thanks, I appreciate you.

Judy,
Thanks for the kind words.
Ah! You had to mention sweet tea. And the uniforms. I recall how incredibly crowded my frequented cafeteria, K&S would be in Raleigh even though the shopping strip was filled with 'fancy' places. My strongest memories are not so much the highway spots but the small town restaurants where the whole downtown ate meringue at pretty much the same time. Thanks for the article!
Jenn,
Yeah, the small-town city-center restaurants are the best as a rule. In researching that piece I found a new meat-n-three here in town, may have to check it out tomorrow.
