In addition to all the great tour stops at peanut farms, research centers and shelling plants the Georgia Peanut Tour is also known for great Southern hospitality and good country cooking. This year is no different. Tour attendees were able to sample boiled peanuts, fried quail, barbecue, fried chicken, a low country boil and peanut butter icecream. One stop on the tour was at Marise’s Country Cooking in Vienna, Ga. This restaurant is owned by the mayor’s wife, Marise. At this restaurant attendees had their choice of fried chicken, beef tips and rice, black eyed peas, collard greens, corn, fresh tomatoes, corn bread or biscuits. Desserts were also a big hit! Options included sweet potato pie, pecan pie, red velvet cake, chocolate cake, apple pie and the list goes on. So, next time you are passing by the area be sure to stop in. The restaurant is located off of Interstate-75 at Exit 109. You will be impressed by the food and great Southern hospitality!
