Under-the-Hill Saloon — Restaurant in Natchez

In a city full of landmarks, this has to be included. The first place I ever stopped in when I moved to Natchez was the saloon. I had my first bowl of gumbo, and that's set the stage for the rest of my time living here. I have a very fond memory of sitting out front on a busy Saturday night with my dad, my uncle, and my uncle's friend. We watched the night sky with the rest of the revelers, and everyone gasped in delight as a shooting star zigzagged across the Louisiana sky before burning out. Everyone burst into applause. I'll never forget it. It's been 32 years since that moment, and I hope I...
