For some, it might be hard to believe that the quaint, often-called quirky (in a great way) town of Thunderbolt, Georgia is only five miles southeast of downtown Savannah. Thunderbolt runs along the western shore of Wilmington River - which is a tidal river that is part of the U.S. Intracoastal Waterway. The town's picture-perfect atmosphere and much talked about restaurants certainly keep its residents beaming with joy - and visitors coming back for more.
One of those famous restaurants is called FINCHES Sandwiches and Sundries - owned by our guests today - Rebecca Gawley and Jamie Pleta. The pair share a passion for serving the community with a side of fun and flare.
You'll hear the stories behind coming up with the name, building the dynamite menu, and how the customers quickly become family. Jamie and Rebecca also talk about the challenges around running a business - and a restaurant - during COVID as well as during an intense political season.
