It’s another overcast chilly day in Atlanta. So what’s a girl to do? Go get some comfort food. Some down home country cooking at Matthew’s Cafeteria in Tucker, GA. Matthews 3It is located in Downtown Tucker. They serve a meat and two and sweet tea (but I noticed they are serving Lemonade also and unsweet tea).

This is just yummy comfort food.Matthews 5This is Salisbury Steak and green beans and mashed potatoes, along with sweet tea mixed with unsweet tea.Matthews 2

This was featured a few years ago on The Food Network’s Diners, Drive Ins and Dives.

I am going to be featuring great places for Staycationers to get the best food in different areas of town. Let me know what you are interested in.

Surprise, It’s Tucker Day! I went to report so you can make plans for next year. Main St. is taken over with bands at both ends and booths line the street.

ImageAll of the music was very good. 

The booths featured jewelry and artwork, ceramics a few massage areas and a few politicians oh and the Rotary Club was there raising money to help combat polio.

ImageIt was really really good. The hotdogs are split and grilled, very tasty. 

The weather was overcast, which was really nice. A few blocks away they were having a plant sale.

There were a lot of lovable dogs. I will close with this photo of this snappy dresser. Plan to go next year!Image
