We chose the name of  the “Diner” for our two quilt squares  to represent our restaurant. The two most important people in a restaurant are the cook/baker and the waitress. We felt that this would make a most interesting and unique quilt. So, one quilt square represents an old-fashioned waitress with a
cup and saucer; the second one, an old-fashioned baker.  

 The Cup and Saucer was first started in the late 1940’s and moved to it’s present location in 1954/55. Through all it’s owners, besides good food, the one thing makes it stand out is the pictures that have been gathered over the years of the History of Monterey and the surrounding area. From the Tennessee Central Railroad, to the Coal Mines, Lumber Mills and even the Moonshine Stills, those pictures are on the wall. Our town newspaper editor, Dale Welch  has dubbed the Cup and Saucer as  “Monterey’s Unofficial Pictorial History Museum”.
 We have visitors from all over the United States and the world. We keep and maintain visitor’s books that list everyone that who has come into the Cup and Saucer from other places since we started in 2002.
 When your in the area please drop in and see us, view the pictures, sign our book and enjoy our hospitality.
