Sewanee/Monteagle, Tennessee

[Varmint]

I'm going to a function at the University of the South over Labor Day weekend, and we've rented a house in Monteagle. We'll go out to eat one night and will cook dinner for about 16 folks another night. I need suggestions of where to shop and then where to eat. Can anyone help?

Hey, Varmint, I used to go to those places a lot, crisscrossing Tennessee when I was younger.

Googling helped some. Check this out:

Nicole and Bruce have some recommendations to make.

And it looks like you can eat food here: Adams-Edgeworth Inn.

Okay, Tana, now you have gone and found yet another place for me to add to my vacation roster! This place (Adams-Edgeworth Inn) looks like something well worth trying even for the drive from Atlanta involved ... thanks for the "find"!

Varmint,

I would highly recommend Pearl's from the list above. When we go to the Assembly for a weekend it is a mandatory stop.

You may also want to track down the Dutch Maid Bakery in Tracy City if you have a bit of extra time. The place dates from the early 1900's and is effectively a working museum (or was when I was last there). It is also the only place I know that makes Salt Rising bread...

EDIT: Scratch that. Apparently the bakery closed earlier this month and is now up for sale. See story here: Dutch Maid Bakery

Thanks for the restaurant info. Now I need to find some local produce. Any ideas?
