HISTORY

Frankfort, Kentucky

TWEDE'S CAFE

North Bend, Washington

BRENT'S DRUGS
Jackson, Mississippi

Built in 1943, this is the oldest
restaurant in Frankfort. It's cozy,
with only a few seats at the counter
and a handful of tables, and has
retained the spirit of the original,
though when Chef Rick Paul took
over, he put his stamp on it.

Twede's was opened by Roy
Thompson in 1941 as
Thompson's Cafe and it's still
owned by his family. Director
David Lynch filmed the quirky
Twin Peaks here, making the
diner known outside the region.

This old-school, soda-fountain
eatery has been around since
1946 and it's a neighborhood
institution. Though the
pharmacy has been gone since
2009, the food, the soda
fountain and the lunch counter
are still there.

Chef Paul's Cajun and Creole
twist on the diner menu has
led to some unexpected
favorites that give regulars and
visitors a taste of New Orleans
in the capital of Kentucky.

In Twin Peaks, FBI Special
Agent Dale Cooper's all
about a cup of hot black
coffee, and you can treat
yourself to a cup here. But
the diner - on the show and
in real life - prides itself on
the cherry pie.

Brent's Drugs appeared in
the 2011 film, The Help,
and was mentioned in the
book. Reportedly, cast and
crew showed up here even
when it wasn't a shooting
day; they just wanted to get
a feel for the town's charm.

For breakfast, it's hard to beat
Rick's famous crawfish pie and
an order of beignets. At lunch
it's all about the sandwich:
oyster po boys and alligator po
boys lead the charge,
followed closely by the
New Orleans
muffaletta.

In the morning, the breakfast
sandwich is king unless you
decide on the scrambled eggs,
hash browns and gravy; either
way you can't go wrong. Lunch
means burgers, and with
more than two-dozen
on the menu you'll find
one you love.

Three words: Brent's Biscuit
Sandwich. It doesn't get much
more Southern than a
buttermilk biscuit topped
with fried chicken and spicy
honey. For lunch, go with an
original recipe egg and olive
sandwich, a simple grilled
cheese or the surprise: a tasty
veggie burger.
