Today we went to lunch at a restaurant in downtown Savannah called The Pirate's House. The Pirate's House is considered the most historic spot in Georgia. When colonists arrived from London in 1733, they planted a garden in this location. Their original crops failed, but from this same garden were distributed the peach trees which have since given Georgia a major crop. The Old Pirate's House first opened in 1753 as an inn for seafarers, and became a meeting point for bloodthirsty pirates and sailors. The Pirate's House is mentioned in the classic, Treasure Island, which says that Captain Flint died in an upstairs room in the Pirate's House. Today, the restaurant serves yummy southern-style cooking, including black-eyed peas, cabbage, chicken pot pie, collard greens, squash casserole, biscuits and cornbread. The food was great. Above, two of my co-workers and I are pictured with Capt Jack Sparrow!!
