Regarding H&H Restaurant.
this page online
One of Macon’s oldest independent restaurants, H&H was founded by two African-American businesswomen: Inez Hill and Louise Hudson. They earned the affection of an early, struggling Allman Brothers Band, who “Mama Inez” and “Mama Louise” would feed for free. Since then, H&H has become a place of pilgrimage for Southern music fans and musicians seeking the true soul food of this legendary meat-and-three.
