Southern food writer John T.

A Relais and Chateaux destination, the 4,200 acre Walland, Tennessee Blackberry Farm is known for its 6000-wine list, the farm-to-table cuisine, and grounds that include everything from a farmhouse spa to fly fishing. For an extra $250, with prior approval, you can even take your dog.
FROM THE SEPTEMBER 28 DINNER
Click here to purchase the upcoming cookbook from Andrea Reusing of Chapel Hill’s Lantern Restaurant, Cooking in the Moment: A Year of Seasonal Recipes
Chapel Hill chef Reusing, of the world-famous Lantern, was recently featured in a Food and Wine article, An Indie Chef’s Greatest Hits. FW reports that Yo La Tengo goes out of their way to eat at Lantern when on tour. (Reusing is married to Mac McCaughan of Superchunk). Behind the scenes in her kitchen, they observe, “she’s perfected the art of entertaining on the fly, often raiding the restaurant’s fridge to prepare late-night dishes for Arcade Fire and other bands on Merge Records, the label her husband cofounded.”
The article describes Lantern as “an unlikely indie hit: an unassuming restaurant in a small college town serving Asian-inspired recipes made with Southern ingredients. ‘What do you call it? I call it American food,’ said Chef David Chang of NYC’s Momofuku restaurant empire. ‘There’s always opportunity for chefs across the country to redefine American cuisine and that’s what Andrea is doing.”
