The pie, which is made in a cast ironed skillet, features blended cheeses and heirloom tomatoes baked in a flakey crust.<\/h4>\n<p>For owners Tyler and Heather Thomas, the accomplishment of opening a restaurant was years in the making. While living in Tallahassee, the couple made a happenstance visit to Bainbridge, which put their dream of opening a restaurant in motion.<\/p>\n<p>Serving as the executive chef, Tyler describes The American as &#8220;experienced-based,&#8221; which includes a combination of atmosphere, service, hospitality, food, location, and presentation.<\/p>\n<p>True to its name, the restaurant&#8217;s d\u00e9cor creates a historic vibe with variations of the Stars and Stripes and patriotic art adorning the exposed brick walls.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Heather and I both grew up with great respect for America and what it represents,&#8221; Tyler says. &#8220;As we have collected artwork over the years, we&#8217;ve found some interesting pieces from the Colonial period and a few depicting our founding fathers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While sourcing ingredients from local and regional producers is a high priority, Tyler says it&#8217;s all about freshness and quality.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First and foremost, the food has to taste great and be healthy,&#8221; he says. &#8220;And by healthy I believe in fresh and not frozen, made from scratch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2289\" style=\"width: 305px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2289\" data-attachment-id=\"2289\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sgamag.com\/index.php\/2019\/06\/24\/the-american\/tyler-thomas-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Tyler-Thomas-1.jpg?fit=3456%2C5184&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3456,5184\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 7D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1555340872&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;34&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;500&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Tyler Thomas\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Tyler-Thomas-1.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Tyler-Thomas-1.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-2289\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Tyler-Thomas-1-683x1024.jpg?resize=295%2C436\" alt=\"\" width=\"295\" height=\"436\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2289\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Tyler Thomas, co-owner of The American. Photo by Pat Gallagher<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Not to dismiss some southern favorites, Tyler says moderation is the key. &#8220;Of course, we are going to use some butter and sugar, but we also want our food to give vitality and not slow you down and cause health concerns.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While it would be difficult to find a southern restaurant that omits sweet tea as a beverage option, Tyler says he has found a healthy solution. &#8220;With our sweet tea we brew dried fresh spearmint with the black tea leaves, this creates a sweeter taste, and then we don&#8217;t have to add as much sugar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All memorable meals need a great start, and at The American, there are plenty of options. While the Heirloom Tomato Pie, which features black truffle oil from Pecan Ridge Plantation in Bainbridge, is a popular choice, other crowd pleasers include the Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread, made with Georgia sweet corn, and Artisan Cheese Boards.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The cheese boards have taken off,&#8221; says Tyler, who graduated from culinary school at Florida State University. &#8220;We use a selection of Asher Blue, Griffin, Green Hill and Thomasville Tomme from Sweet Grass Dairy,&#8221; which is a South Georgia&#8217;s cheese producers.<\/p>\n<p>While the standard menu offers a selection of seafood, beef, and poultry, Tyler has also created specialty dishes that give a twist to some southern classics like the Cornbread Fried Chicken. Marinated in a little Creole and then finished off with a drizzle of honey sriracha glaze, gives this southern staple a little kick.<\/p>\n<p>Gaining a regional reputation, Tyler has showcased his culinary skills and fondness for using locally grown products through Connect Dinner events. Sponsored by Eat Y&#8217;all, the dinners are held throughout the South, and pair chefs from different regions to create multi-course meals that showcase regionally-based farmers and producers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2291\" style=\"width: 344px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2291\" data-attachment-id=\"2291\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sgamag.com\/index.php\/2019\/06\/24\/the-american\/cornbread-fried-chicken-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cornbread-Fried-Chicken-1.jpg?fit=480%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"480,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Cornbread Fried Chicken\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cornbread-Fried-Chicken-1.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cornbread-Fried-Chicken-1.jpg?fit=480%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-2291\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cornbread-Fried-Chicken-1.jpg?resize=334%2C298\" alt=\"\" width=\"334\" height=\"298\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2291\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>The American&#8217;s Cornbread Fried Chicken gives a twist on a southern classic<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Earlier this year, as a guest chef at the Union Public House in Pensacola, Florida, Tyler created beef carpaccio using Grady Ranch grass-fed New York strips, as one of five courses served at the dinner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I seared and then smoked the strips before shaving them very fine to make the carpaccio,&#8221; he explains. &#8220;Then I used Sweet Grass Dairy&#8217;s Thomasville Tomme cheese instead of parmesan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tyler says the unique variation to the dish comes from the black garlic honey that is sourced from a farm in the panhandle. &#8220;With the black garlic added to the honey, it produces a savory beef that has a sweet and salty flavor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Having been invited to participate in two Connect Dinner events, Tyler says, he has gained an even greater appreciation for incorporating locally sourced products. &#8220;The dinners encourage the chefs to get to know their producers.
