H & H Restaurant
Macon, Georgia


by Michael Buffalo Smith

How many times have we heard the old adage, "don't judge a book by it's cover?" Never has that statement held more truth than in the case of The H & H Restaurant, 807 Forsyth St. in Macon, Georgia. Outside the redbrick building with the aluminum door hangs an old, weather worn sign.The only clue as to the Allman Brothers Band's historical connection to the eatery is the small mushroom painted on the bottom of the sign. In fact, if you didn't know what you were looking for, you'd likely walk right around the corner past Mama's place.

Inside, you'll find walls filled with signed publicity photos, candid shots of The Brothers and the restaurant staff, autographs and photos of related bands like Gov't Mule and Doc Holliday. There are some beautiful paintings of the Allmans in there too. And the juke box is cool. The first CD on it is The Allman's greatest hits, and there are tons ofother choices, including some Otis Redding and lots of good r&b.

Mama Louise Hudson is usually cooking up some of her fine food in the kitchen, which is visible throughout the H & H. She has a huge smile for everyone, and a hug for folks she knows well.

A very nice fifteen-year-old gentleman named Philip helped us be seated and handed us an orange laminated menu. The first thing I noticed was that the menu had no prices on it. This is likely to have come from themany times when Mama fed the hungry, including the early Allman BrothersBand, for free when they couldn't afford it. Fact is, my wife and I both had plates full of piping hot meat and vegetables, iced tea, and a basket of crunchy, golden cornbread, absolute heaven for a country boy. Our total bill was around $14.00 or so. A great value.

The menu changes daily, and offers a choice of 1 of 3 meats ... forexample, a selection between chicken, barbeque ribs, or roast beef. Along with your meat selection, you will get to choose three vegetables from a list of six ... perhaps greens, corn, beets, rice, peas or macaroni & cheese. Or you can also order a "vegetable plate", without ordering any meat.


I had the fried chicken, boiled okra, collard greens and black-eyed peas. Where's Grandpa Jones when you need him? Somebody say, "Yum-yum!"

The H & H offers soft drinks and coffee, and in true southern fashion, good ol' sweet Tea.

Desserts are available, however, I had to drive back to Greenville, so I didn't want to over do it. Buy hey, the cobbler my neighbors were enjoying at the next table smelled awfully good!

Mama Louise gets an "A+" for food, another "A+" for atmosphere, and yet another "A+" for her sweet, caring spirit. If you find yourself inMacon, you owe it to yourself to dig into some of Mama Loiuse's soul food. And if you are a fan of The Allmans like me, well, that just makes the visit that much better.

An easy giveaway that a coach shoulder bags is fake can be the zipper. The zipper, at least the part that you pull on, should almost always be made out of leather. Sometimes the part of the zipper you pull on is constructed out of rings. If the pull part of the zipper is made of something else than there is a good chance that the handbag is not genuine. Another really good tip for identifying coach bag outlet store is to closely inspect the lettering on the actually zipper it's self. If the letters are YKS then the bag is fake. It turns out the coach usa outlet only uses the highest quality zippers and they happen to be made by the company YKK.

A ugg boots clearance recent survey found that one out of five Americans teenage or older want an iPad. No wonder Apple is selling three million iPads a month. It's the fastest-selling single product in the history of consumer electronics. Most buyers are choosing an iPad as a supplement to their current computers -- for watching movies in bed, like I do, or reading books in my easy chair when there's nothing good on TV ugg boots clearance. The iPad pretty much has the personal side of computing covered. But what about the computer side? What about the tasks you do on your laptop or on your desktop computer ugg boots clearance? But I'm convinced that many of you would find the iPad a delightful replacement for a typical laptop computer, whether a Windows PC or Mac, if you mostly use a laptop for three typical functions -- e-mail, social networking (through Facebook, for example) and Web browsing ugg boots clearance. What about occasional word processing? Apple's word processor, called Pages, is outstanding on the iPad. (A bonus: It also works easily with Microsoft Word documents, both reading them and saving them.) If you need software that can show and create PowerPoint presentations, iPad software called Keynote can do that nicely. There's even an Excel-compatible program called Numbers ugg boots clearance. All three of these productivity programs -- called apps -- sell for only $10 each. Getting something equivalent to Microsoft Office for only $30 is surely a steal ugg boots clearance. There are many, either free or a couple of dollars, at the App Store ugg boots outlet. Could an iPad be your only computer? Not for long. It gets updates via free software called iTunes running on a standard computer. When you plug the iPad into the computer using a USB cable, iTunes transfers the updates to your iPad ugg boots outlet. (iTunes is also used to add music, books, podcasts, university lectures, TV shows and movies to an iPad.) But if my experience is a guide, the iPad can function well as a replacement for a laptop. If you buy one, be sure to get the Keyboard Dock and the Camera Connection Kit. Photos look spectacular on the 10-inch screen ugg boots clearance.
