Hidden Culinary Gems of the South
Send us a text
In this episode we talk about Thomasville, one of Georgia’s Hidden Culinary Gems. We found the oldest restaurant in Georgia there. The Plaza Restaurant & Oyster Bar opened in 1916, and is still open today. They have a cocktail lounge, and indoor and outdoor seating. They serve lunch and dinner they are at 217 Broad St.
The Sweet Grass Dairy Cheese shop at 123 S. Broad St. Has a nice menu, and Charcuterie Boards. Buttermilk wants to try their Pimento cheese.
Jonah’s at 109Jackson St. Is a sea food restaurant. They have Shrimp a Grits. Peanut Butter Pie, and Key Lime Pie, for special desert.
Buttermilk does a deep dive into Pimento cheese and its origins, as well as the origins of the Pimento.
