About 460 million years ago, a dramatic range of volcanoes rose up from the Earth’s crust from Georgia to Canada, building higher and higher toward the heavens through violent clashes of heat and stone. Earth had given birth to the Appalachian Mountains. In more recent news, Chattanooga’s more than 100-year-old Stone Fort Inn gave birth to the TerraMae Appalachian Bistro a few weeks ago, seeking to capture the wide cultural range of the Appalachia’s expanse in a high-end menu. Thus, I decided to roam through their Appalachian Trail of dishes last week.
