The place called Hope is not designed for the traveler to get something to eat that isn't big-chain fast food. All over you can buy Hope watermelons - but only in whole, which I could not possibly eat at once nor carry away. And no restaurants serving any either. The only restaurant downtown is open three hours for lunch five days a week and is called "The Melon Patch", but does it have melon? No! Mostly hamburgers. Having had chicken-fried steak for dinner the night before and expecting bbq for that dinner, I was in a vegetarian mood and had a plate of Southern vegetables - buttered broccoli, hominy, and turnip greens - all of them delicious.
