It is 2 p.m. on Sunday and you just woke up to five missed calls and several texts from your mother demanding you get to church or else. You are still wearing the outfit from last night.

You know, the one that smells of menthol cigarettes and cheap draft beer you spilled down the front of your shirt after the guy hit the pool ball too hard, landing in your lap.

Church is over, your head is pounding and nausea has set in.

Your cell phone begins to buzz and on a whim you look down to see your best friend is calling.

“Hey, you okay?” they ask.

“Yeah, just hungover,” you say.

The conversation continues but your mind wanders to another place — a fried food heaven with lots of bread, meat and cheese. You decide it is time to indulge in a meal of epic proportions fit for those with an alcohol-induced stupor. Check out these five eateries Florence has to offer for a cure-all, therapeutic remedy to clear the alcohol from your blood.

Tennessee Street Billiards and Grill

Eat: The cheeseburger and fries

This hole-in-the-wall used to be a popular dance joint but now serves the juiciest burger in town. An all-beef patty soaking up the grease from 50 burgers past on a truck-stop style grill is a sure-fire cure for mild to severe hangovers.

Cracker Barrel

Eat: Home style fried chicken

Only available on Sundays, the home style fried chicken is the closest to how grandma used to make it. The crunchy bird has a melt-in-your-mouth texture with several spices and juices to please any all-American. Order water and this meal is a $10 cure for that nasty hangover.

Garden Gate Cafe

Eat: Anything — literally

Garden Gate is a plethora of fruits and veggies freshly picked from the garden, mixed with homemade desserts and a mean glass of sweet tea. I would recommend the fried chicken breast with mashed potatoes (brown gravy, of course), macaroni and cheese and fried okra. And the desserts? Do not tell your momma she has been defeated.

Riverside Diner

Eat: The turkey club sandwich and fries

This restaurant is a truck stop diner without the truck stop parking. As with all greasy foods, a little dab’ll do ya. Riverside is open 24 hours on the weekends — prime eating time for the day-drinker and night owl alike.

Stagg’s Deli

Eat: Chocolate gravy and biscuits

Located by The House of Vacuums, this old-fashioned deli serves up chocolate gravy and biscuits on Friday mornings only. Just remember: You snooze, you lose. Wake up early for this Southern treat because they sell out quickly.

Now, the combination may sound like something short of delicious, but picture heaven. Now, picture heaven in your mouth. There you have it.
