What to eat in Savannah and Charleston
When in either Charleston or Savannah, you are doing yourself a great disservice if you don't get fresh local shrimp, oysters, etc. In Charleston, go to Hyman's (http://www.hymanseafood.com). I know it's touristy, but they have some great local seafood, and they'll give you a bowl of boiled peanuts to keep you occupied while you wait for your entree (their scored flounder is spectacular). Salty goodness!
Best Southern Food Trucks
There is no shortage of barbecue trucks around the Charlotte Area. Ron's BBQ travels around York County (in SC just south of Charlotte), setting up in particular parking lots on particular days, serving good barbecue sandwiches, with slaw of course. He smokes the meat himself overnight. Tasty!
In Columbia, SC for 3 days. What's a hound to eat?
I know I am late to this discussion, but for future readers, I don't think any discussion of BBQ in Columbia can happen without mention of Maurice's. You'd be hard pressed to miss his billboards, which may make his place seem a little cheesy, but trust me, Maurice knows his meat.
Must-Eat Joints in Michigan's U.P.
I loved the Vierling. I remember that if you got the beer sampler and drank the stout and the peach one right after the other, you curiously ended up tasting buttered popcorn. Wierd, and yet a wonderful sense memory.
Must-Eat Joints in Michigan's U.P.
It's been some time since I was at NMU, but some of the best Asian food I have ever had was at the Rice Paddy, this little house in the shadow of the Superior Dome that had been converted to a two-table restaurant. It was run by a woman named Kim, who would make fried wontons on the spot on in the wok on the back stove; you could see the kitchen from the order counter. I still sigh in overheated contentment at the thought of the Chicken with Wild and Spicy Plum sauce.
