The Best of Napa Valley Food

California, Places, United States

The Best of Napa Valley Food Wine instead of food may be what you travel to Napa Valley to experience, but there is an abundance of great food in Napa Valley and at every price point. Of course, the valley is home to Thomas Keller’s famous French Laundry and other Michelin-Rated restaurants, but we found four spots worth revisiting that all have a unique vibe with unique eats. If you want something quick, inexpensive, and tasty, visit The Station in St. Helena. What was once a gas station from what looks like the 1950s is now a restaurant serving great breakfast all day

The Tomato Place

Mississippi, Places, United States

The Tomato Place When we travel, I often find that it’s the stops at local, small businesses that I tend to enjoy the most. When it comes to local places to eat, I have learned that if it has the name of a fruit in it then you better try it out! After stopping for lunch at The Tomato Place, I can safely say that my theory still holds true. Utilizing TripAdvisor On a recent road trip with our family of five, we were traveling through Mississippi and I read about a place on TripAdvisor just off our route on U.S. Highway
