My first job was at this restaurant

WE LOVE LOCAL!

Founded in 1945, the Dogwood Restaurant has been serving award-winning food for 78 years.

Owner Keith Poff bought the restaurant 31 years ago. Poff told WDBJ’s Logan Sherrill last year, “Me and my dad came down here and tried some of the food, and the next week we bought it. Came home and told my wife – we just got married – she goes ‘What are you doing buying a restaurant!?’”

Poff began building a local following of customers with a menu full of offerings that taste like home cooking. His best friend since second grade, Jamie McCarthy, was preparing the special of the day, pork chops and chicken livers, when Sherrill visited. “We bread them ourselves and fry them in cast-iron frying pans which is what I call the old-fashioned way of cooking, and everyone loves it,” McCarthy told Sherrill.

If pork chops and chicken livers aren’t your thing, there’s French toast, pancakes, omelets, biscuits and gravy, steak, meatloaf, burgers, spaghetti, salads, fruit cobblers, and more. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, loyal customers at Dogwood Restaurant all call it the same thing – delicious.

Dogwood Restaurant is located at 106 E. Lee Avenue in downtown Vinton, and is open Monday through Thursday, 7am to 9pm; Friday, 7am to 3pm; and Saturday, 7am to 12pm.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
