I also serve my chili over rice. I like noodles and rice, I like the rice noodles especially.
We have a couple coming in October from France and I'm mulling what to serve them for dinner. For sure we'll go to Fox Bros for Q. I'll grill some good steaks. And probably have chili over rice. Grits for breakfast. I do an egg over light and add it to the grits. Steelhead trout grilled. Mexican from somewhere, I am getting to like the local place a lot, Willy's. We're going to Highlands, NC for a night, I know a good place there, and Dahlonega for a night to take them panning for gold.
The leaves should be near peak.
