CBS News’ national morning show, CBS Mornings, will film at Fenders Diner in Cornelia, Georgia, on Tuesday, April 15, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The visit is part of CBS’s “3 Meals” series, a storytelling project that takes CBS journalists to three different towns for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There, they sit down with everyday Americans to discuss the issues that matter most to them.

Producers will be in Georgia on the week of April 14. What is their chosen dinner destination? According to one producer, “All roads lead to Fenders Diner!”

Fenders Diner owner Jay Reeder is thrilled. “Wow! Our little Habersham is getting famous! People all over the country will get to see what it’s like to live in a friendly small town like ours. It’s super coll that they picked Habersham to show everyone.”

CBS plans to spend about two hours at the restaurant, chatting with patrons about the pressing topics of the day, their hopes and concerns for the year ahead, and what’s on their minds as the country moves forward.

There’s no pressure to speak on camera, but producers are especially interested in hearing what locals think about President Trump’s first 100 days in office.

If you’d like to share your thoughts—or enjoy a meal while watching a bit of national TV come to life—head to Fenders Diner, located at 631 Irvin Street, Cornelia, GA.
