We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Hartman’s! We are so happy about the dressing and have bought many jars at King’s. Love this story!😌

Great article! Yes, it was the only place to go for special occasions. Great to know dressing is available. Thanks

Sweet! I remember Hartman's. I enjoyed Hartman's. I miss Hartman's. And about those fried banana peppers, the best ones out there are at Hope Valley Diner. Pull up a stool or chair there on any night and you'll see lots of old friends.

Hartman's!! It definitely was THE SPOT for special date nights while at Duke to a trip with Reynolds and a few creative writing classmates to loud group birthday parties. Happy to know I can get that delightful dressing once again. Wonderful piece, Georgann. ❤️

Marvelous! I never went to Hartman’s though heard tell of it often. I love the restoration of their blue cheese dressing and the context of wedge salads. Fabulous writing, as always.
