H & H RESTAURANT, MACON GA

MamaWeeze
In Macon Georgia there lives a legend. Mama Weeze.  In the hey day of Capricorn Records, the likes of Duane and Greg, Otis, and virtually everybody in rock and roll came to the H & H Restaurant.  Mama Weeze made sure that those boys had a great meal of soul food under their belts before returning to the studio.  Before they hit the road, Mama Weeze made sure they were well fortified. Now if you want the real deal with a heapin helping of rock ‘n roll history, the H & H is required reading.  Check out the pictures on the wall, the ambience, the vibe, the food. And a true spirit of hospitality like nowhere else.
H&HVeggie

Here’s the veggie plate with lima beans, okra and tomatoes, turnip greens and squash casserole–definitely comfort food and when we left, it was ALL gone.

Columbia, MD for the Festival of the Arts, Bethlehem, PA for a great little blues club, 2nd Story Blues, the classic  Lyric Theater in  Stewart, FL, AJ’s in Destin for Fathers’ Day,  and don’t forget every Monday at Harry A’s on beautiful St. George Island, way down in Fla.

Datil3

Here’s the famous Datil Peppers that I use in my Liquid Summer Hot Sauce. The flavor of the Datil is unparalleled.  That creeper burn takes 10 to 15 seconds for the heat to “arrive” and it comes up from the bottom with a hot, sweet,  funky rush of flavor that cries out for more. Buy some of my Lquid Summer hot sauce here.

Joe Zuzak makes the sausage and wife, Carol makes the cinnamon bread. Daughter Nancy helps out running the store.   Those guys from eastern Europe can make some great sausage. While in Cleveland, you might want to check this place out.  The garlic sausage is the garliciest  I ever had.  It’s super bad!

PEANUT BUTTER AND PICKLE SANDWICH
Here’s Sam, my grandson.  He makes peanut butter and pickle sandwiches.  Cut the little gherkins up and … well, you know.
