One of the things I enjoy most about traveling the back roads of the United States is the discovery of local eateries such as the Kalico Kitchen in Marion, Alabama. Almost every small town has one - a place where businessmen in suits and ties, laborers in dirty overalls, the Lions Club and the Ladies Garden Club all come out for lunch. In fact, don't show up for dinner, because they close at 2:00 p.m. However, for breakfast and lunch the Kalico Kitchen can't be beat. I decided to stop when I saw the parking lot plum full of cadillacs, jalopies, and pick-up trucks.
The Kalico Kitchen is open 6 a.m. - 2 p.m. Tuesday - Sunday (Closed Monday). Judy Deason is the manager.
When I was there, for only $4.95 you could have the lunch buffet, which included pan fried chicken done right, plus a beef/potato casserole, collard greens, sweet potatoes, blackeyed peas, salad fixin's, cornbread, chocolate pudding and more. Don't forget the freshly brewed sweet iced tea for only $1.00, with all the free refills you can drink.
