I was born and raised there till I had to move for work. Try Julie’s place. And mountain side dinner. They’re both good.

high country,
hope the job for the "other dam people" goes well.
and yeah, food's cheaper in lots of places than our States on the West Coast.
Enjoy your working "vacation"

Get to the low country of S Carolina, find a mom and pop buffet, sample the collards, butter beans, ribs, chicken, Mac and cheese, biscuits, green beans. Pass on the strips of things that look like steak fries. Those are fried fatback strips and you’ll die an ugly death of clogged arteries if you eat a whole one.

5 pages to this thread and not once has the buffet at golden corral been offered up...... Been four within reasonable driving distance here over the past 30 years. One is now a hamburger joint, one is now a Japanese place, one got turned into a Fazolis, and the 4th is sitting vacant. None of them had food I'd go out of my way for.

Julia’s Tally House, in Troutman, N.C., has the best fried chicken in the state, IMHO. Our local Bojangles is actually really good. Love the pintos o and dirty rice!

I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

I've been shadowing some of the fellas from Alabama at lunch. Shrimp and grits for lunch was interesting. We're going to hit Julies for dinner tonight.

You guys could use some diversity.
Dang. Haint nothin more better! The culinary equivalent to mash and parsley liquor. From a man that savors 'hog brains' I ask sir: have you ever had redeye gravy[actually made by a southern belle]? An Appalachian Southerner criticizing a Montana boy for eating hog brains. Might just be my twisted sense of humor, darn near spit coffee. Brains, eggs and potatoes ain't a bad breakfast.

Look for any place surrounded by contractors pickups at breakfast time or lunchtime if there's a couple of logtrucks parked in back that's usually good also.

Speaking of the best fried chicken, watch out for those southern gals. They are not called "steel magnolias" as a joke, when they cut you throat you will not even feel it.
