The Graceful Ordinary's name set the tone for the creative challenge and solution. In the 1800s, in the southeast region of the United States, most small towns had a place for travelers needing a warm meal, good conversation, and a bed. The establishments were known as an Ordinary. The meals were the traditional fare of the time—good heart-warming meals set to provide the energy for another day. The Graceful Ordinary is just that with a gastronomic, delicious, organic twist.
