Hailing from rural Southwestern Virginia, Travis Milton spent his childhood in a true Appalachian kitchen, learning the tried and true techniques for shucking beans, preserving and canning, and planting gardens.
Milton opened Hickory, our signature restaurant at The Inn at Nicewonder Farm & Vineyards in Bristol, Virginia, where he has the stage to further explore, reimagine, and elevate Appalachian cuisine using approachable ingredients.
Milton’s cooking is not replacing original Appalachian techniques, but instead introduces the cuisine in a fresh way that he hopes will build upon the cuisine’s heritage.
