During the summer of 2013, just six months after an intriguing new restaurant popped up in downtown Statesboro on the corner of South Main and West Vine streets, I ventured inside to discover a restaurant that would become the backbone of our community and so much more. It would become my go-to place for a special night out on the town, where I would ring in the new year and where I would celebrate my birthday lunch with 15 of my coworkers. It would become the restaurant I would proudly share with out-of-town guests; it was my happy hour bar of choice — and the only place in town where I could order the Glorious Gin and Tonic with a fresh slice of lime or experience a Hunter Cattle Company hamburger, prepared with the utmost respect for the integrity of the ingredients.
