The Quarrier Diner has a storied past - one of history, of deception, of resurgence, and now, one of rising again.

The Elements at the Quarrier Diner reopened recently, and I was eager to try it out again.

The restaurant focuses on "elements" - earth, air, water, fire.

And the decor reflects this new, modern vibe. The wooden walls and modern tables were a big change from what I recalled.

We were greeted with a basket of biscuits and apple butter.

Then, I put in an order for hushpuppies - which were stuffed with pimento cheese and served with tartar sauce.

We were served "family-style" sides - a mushrooms risotto and green beans.

For my entree, I went with the "BFD."

That's braised wild boar belly and cheese grits with a sunnyside quail egg.
