The Fourth of July.   I spent the evening of the Fourth, with my brother and his wife, in a wonderful little mountain restaurant nestled in the Blue Ridge on the banks of the Toccoa.   The Toccoa Riverside Restaurant is a few miles from Blue Ridge Georgia in the "Aska Adventure Area" 

The food was standard mountain/country fare.  Steaks, Chicken in various permutations, fried, grilled, broiled.    There was one item that caught my interest though I wasn't bold enough on this occasion to try it.  Fried broiled seafood.  I kid you not.  The menu reads:

"Seafood Platter
Shrimp, scallops and fried fish broiled or fried.......................18.95"

Despite the numerous delectable looking dishes on the vast menu, I had my usual dead cow medium rare.  It came with salad bar, mashed taters and gravy, real turnip greens (they tasted frozen fresh.  Or was that fresh frozen?). 

The steak was 10 oz of  Prime Angus Sirloin.  The boys in the kitchen did an excellent job.  It was cooked just right.  Like I mentioned I like my steak medium rare. 

This is medium rare

My baby brother, Tom, has this place in the Coosawattee River Resort near Ellijay GA.

Wes and I camped there last winter.  We accidentally made a new friend Her name was Wendy.
