UNSELFISH FOLKS

  There are a lot of folks that give of their time asking for nothing in return. I've encountered quite a few over the last 18 years as my twins have grown and matured. There have been countless great teachers, mentors and volunteers. One of the best and most unselfish I've seen is pictured above…

SWEET TEA

There's few things more a part of our life style than Sweet Tea — and yes, in the South it deserves to be capitalized. We serve thousands of glasses — er make that jars or to go cups — of Sweet Tea each day. Folks are nice enough to come in sometimes just to get…

IT’S FRESH

Well it’s comin on summer and that means fresh veggies along with the barbecue at Country’s. There are those folks that will say they have fresh when it’s really frozen or maybe it was locally frozen — we don’t do that. Every summer we buy fresh peas that come from farmers in Georgia and all…

RED SOLO CUP

Gotta admit I don’t do much wild partying anymore so I really wasn’t up on the Red Solo cup till I watched a music awards show. I thought, that just looks like too much fun so Country’s has gotta get in on it — we love fun. So here’s what we decided to do. If…

IT’S THE PITS

UGH OUR BUSINESS HAS GONE TO THE PITS!!!     Actually and thankfully it’s always been the pits. Pictured above is someone that knows a lot more about our pit than I do. Darrell is an extraordinary Pit Master — he’s one of around 10 that we have the good fortune of working with. So what makes…

DOWNTOWN

Chuck Williams from the Ledger called the other day and asked if I’d participate in 5 questions for the paper — after careful consideration of about 2 nanoseconds I agreed — who the heck am I to turn down free publicity for Country’s. Most of the questions were about “Uptown” and that got me to thinking…
