Yes You Can

.
Yes you can enjoy a gourmet meal in Treutlen County, cooked by a trained, experienced chef.
.

.
Before moving to Soperton, Kenton Chelf was chef for the Atlanta Braves organization. He and wife Desiree took over the Peach House on West Main Street in March 2008 and moved downtown last February, creating Big Lou's 2nd Street Bistro.
.

.
Small-town folks are interested in local connections. Treutlen native Hugh Brantley is Desiree's stepdad.
.

.
The restaurant is at the same spot where Reggie and Barbara Evans once had the Soperton Video Deli, a half-block from the redlight, south on Second Street (Mount Vernon Road).
.

.
The food is always fresh-cooked. The Chelfs use vegetables and herbs grown in their own garden.
.

.
Kenton says that there is no particular favorite from the menus, but "we serve a lot of chicken salad and potato soup."
.

.
Entrees range from a Mexican Platter at $7.75 to Ribeye Steak at $12.00. The platter includes two hand-rolled Enchiladas and a Burrito topped with fresh melted cheeses, topped with fresh lettuce, tomato and avocado, served with fresh salsa and sour cream upon request.
.

.
Other entrees include Asian Stir Fry, Roasted pork Tenderloin, Oven Roasted Salmon, Chicken Parmesan, and Lemon Pepper Shrimp.
.

.
Humongous burgers are $7.00. Choose from the H Burger, Deuce Burger, Greenwood, Rabbit, Marsh, Dez, Lord Pork Chop, and even the Boring Burger.
.

.
For a change from burgers, try the Shrimp Po-Boy: Fried Shrimp topped with a vinegar salad with a spicy tartar sauce on a warmed hoagie roll.
.

.
Philly Cheese is always a favorite. Big Lou's is made with thin sliced ribeye steak sauteed with onion and cheese and served on a baked hoagie roll. Only $7.75.
.

.
The bistro is named for Kenton's granddad, Lou Mendive.
.

.
Other sandwiches include Chicken Club, Chicken Salad, And various Paninis.
.

.
The very large salads are Mendive Cobb, Simple Caesar, Mixed Green, Taco (chicken or beef). Chicken (grilled or fried) may be added to any salad for $1.50.
.

.
The pizzas are special, too: Fresh handmade dough, individual size, baked on stone to perfection, served piping hot.
.

.
Big Lou's 687 South Second Street, 912-529-3100. Downtown Soperton.
