One of Colleen Fehn’s favorite stories from her years in the restaurant business with her husband, Don, is the memory of a couple’s anniversary celebration at their Fehn’s 1891 House in Dayton, Tennessee.

“This elderly couple told me they ate dinner on their wedding night at Fehn’s in Fountain Square (which was open 1948-1958). They were staying in the Read House and had walked up the hill for dinner. For their 60th anniversary they wanted to ate at Fehn’s again, so they came to Dayton for their anniversary,” she recalls.

Restaurants hold places of nostalgic importance for anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, graduations, promotions and other life celebrations. They are warm memories kept alive through family and online reminiscences, along with requests for favorite recipes from beloved dining spots.

Splash, Petersham review

From carb-loaded marvels to the Bradman burger, there’s plenty to lap up at inner west poolside cafe Splash.

The chip butty with curry sauce at Splash in Petersham is so damn good I ordered it five times in three days. I didn’t plan to repeatedly ask for the same sandwich, but every time I hit this canteen by Fanny Durack Aquatic Center’s
entrance, I couldn’t give up the chance to try this fry-heaped joy.

Instead of duplicating my request each time, I did flex some variations. I first tried it with a salad of roast potatoes, greens and red wine dressing, while my boyfriend got the Bradman burger (named after Don Bradman, who achieved his first century in grade cricket at Petersham Park in 1926).

On my second visit, I blitzed through the salad sandwich with vegan mayo, and still found room for the chip-stacked butty afterwards.
