]That thing aint never going to get right. Its pretty much in a junkyard entrance

Miles and miles of dunes and water and sand

If it wasn't for the constant sea wind it would be Tatooine out there

Was a guy in an alien suit roaming around?

The last I heard/read there were only about 20 of them left in the US.

If they don't do some work on this one soon it'll only be 19

Tried the hushpuppies with this sauce, pretty good!

Stopped for lunch on the way back from Cape Hatteras. Normally we bring snacks and stuff but this time we stopped at a local place. I got the chicken wings with peach habanero sauce and some local amber ale. Didn't care that much for the wings as they weren't cooked Rochester style but the sauce was good. I still ate 'em up yum!

Dinner at Millers on the Waterfront. Only four things on the menu that weren't seafood. I had chicken.


and the obligatory martinis

It is made in North Carolina, which is why it's everywhere there. I offer this only as a note of interest, which if you already knew it, I'll show myself out.

I didn't know. I just had never seen it before and it wasn't bad. Better than the kind with the wooden top

Fun fact, the creators of Texas Pete lived here in Winston -Salem behind my grandparents house. My grandmother let her dog shit in their yard on a regular basis.

Heh cool. I drive by the factory when I go to an arcade auction near there sometimes.

I'm hearing banjo music! Stopped for the weekend in Mt. Airy.

Because there's not enough redneck mountain people in my life

Chicken, with a view.

We rented a place way up by the Blue Ridge Parkway

If yr anywhere near Linville Caverns it's a cool tour.

Might not be seeing anything today. Fog and rain like some kind of forest out there

What's "Rochester style?" Cooked in garbage?* Seriously now, what's the difference?

* This is an indirect reference to the "garbage plate" mess of edibles (or edible mess, take your pick.)

Sorry, you can't talk to Rochester people about pizza or wings.

That's a callback to another thread, I'm just busting chops.

The outside of the wings should be crisp, not rubbery. Didn't know if it was a local thing or (more likely) the cook doesn't understand about chicken wings

I feel there are a LOT of churches in the area. On a whim I checked it out on Gmaps. Yes there are.
