Of all the famous people from Georgia, Jimmy Carter is probably the most well-known. Regardless of your political leanings, it’s amazing to think that a peanut farmer from small-town Georgia grew up to become the 39th president of the United States. Despite his international fame, Carter is notoriously down-to-earth. He even returned to live in the same modest house in Plains when he left the White House. He’s a Georgia boy through and through, so it’s no surprise that he enjoys humble, unassuming restaurants just like the rest of us. One particular eatery that Jimmy Carter has enjoyed through the years is Bonita’s Restaurant.
