Theos Cafe, Owens Cross Roads

Theo's Cafe is built on local inspirations. Not only does the cafe's name pay tribute to its founder's grandfather, Theodore, but its menu also relies mostly on local ingredients. The CarolSue BLT, for instance—which is named after Theo's daughter—brims with bacon, mayo, and greens. The Caveman club sandwich, meanwhile, is a nod to Theo's radio name and is stacked with turkey and roast beef. And as customers bite into these, the scents of fresh coffee waft through the air, waiting to be accompanied by the tastes of fluffy desserts and fruit smoothies.
