* Where: Blue Ribbon Cafe, 9705 Dayton Pike, Soddy-Daisy.
* What: Just in time for summer, this charming cafe has created the Jimmy Buffet salad. “It’s like a tropical playground in your mouth,” said owner Dianne Cosper. It’s a big green salad topped with grilled chicken tenders, tropical fruit, toasted walnuts, raisins and Craisins, then served with a delicious house-made mango pineapple vinaigrette. “People love it,” Mrs. Cosper added. And it’s much more healthful that a cheeseburger in paradise.
* Price: $8.50 (come with bread or crackers).
* Phone: 332-5005.
* Hours: 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Friday.
