After hiking at Marengo Ridge Conservation Area, stop by Flatlander Market! As the owners say, it's "halfway to everywhere," so they get a lot of visitors! The menu includes burgers, wraps, sandwiches and salads, plus breakfast items and Cookies by Sally. Why not try the Black and Blue Burger, which is "seasoned with ill-tempered chef spices"? If you think owners Rocco and Sally seem familiar, perhaps you caught them on the American Express commercial, which featured Rocco's voice and Sally on camera.

The atmosphere is as good as the food!

Take time to notice the small details, like an old refridgerator door used to hold cards and notes of appreciation from visitors, or the antiques in the recessed space above the door. Among the other food items on display, look for the creamed possum and armadillo milk. (Don't worry, t hose items are not featured on the menu!
