Bettye,

We can go to Houndstooth Grill & Tavern at 6326 Grand Hickory Dr., Braselton for our September lunch. It's only 2 miles from my house, and I would love for everyone to come here after lunch for dessert.

There is not a good web site for Houndstooth, and the one lunch menu I found was only a partial list of their lunch offerings. I picked up a lunch menu today, and will mail it to you. You may want to use it, or not. I tried scanning it, but couldn't get it clear enough to read.

Directions are easy: From Atlanta: Go north on I-85 and
take exit 126, the Chateau Elan exit. After you exit, turn left
onto Hwy. 211. Drive to the second stop light ( that will be about 2 miles), and turn right onto *Grand Hickory Dr., where you will see a Mulberry Park sign in the median. As soon as you turn onto Grand Hickory Dr., prepare to turn right into a "strip mall". When you turn, you will be facing Houndstooth
Grill & Tavern. The building isn't grand, but the food is very good.

*There is Thompson Mill Rd. sign beside the Grand Hickory
Dr. sign. Thompson Mill Rd. Goes to the left and
you go to the right.
