Restuarant Review: Moore’s Barbecue

KENLY, N.C. — We were not feeling as adventurous on the way back north as we had been on the way down, so we didn’t stray far from I-95 for our final meal of the drive. Moore’s barbecue, located next to the exit 107, gave us the convince we wanted, but would it deliver [...]

Fast Food review: Bojangles

CONWAY, S.C. — Not long after visiting Coast Carolina University, we needed to make a pit-stop. Since I was a little hungry and certainly curious, we stopped at a Bojangles’ Famous Chicken ‘n’ Biscuits, known for . Not needing a full meal, I ordered a two-piece and biscuit combination, ($2.18), for us to split.

Fast Food review: SONIC

MYRTLE BEACH, N.C. — Since we only had a few hours to explore Myrtle Beach, we wound up choosing fast food for lunch. Having never been to a SONIC, we figured we would give yet another regional fast food chain a try. I hadn’t planned on making visiting fast food places a theme, but [...]

Restaurant Review: Parker’s barbecue

WILSON, N.C. — I took the advice of commenter Sean and John T. (who emailed me) and visited Parker’s Barbecue last Friday. I enjoy Carolina-style barbecued pork and was eager to try some from an authentic Carolina restaurant.
Parker’s is on the side of US 301 in an unassuming building. Upon entering the restaurant, diners [...]

Down south

PAWLEY’S ISLAND, S.C. — After 450 miles of driving, we arrived in Pawley’s Island after 7 p.m. yesterday. If I ever see a scrub pine along I-95 again, it will be too soon. In reality, it’ll be tomorrow.
After we get back, I’ll be posting about Parker’s Barbecue, where we had lunch yesterday. In the [...]

Southern swing

On Friday, Erica and I are headed to South Carolina (south of Myrtle Beach) to visit some family. We’ve got an eight hour drive (or more if this winter storm gets bad), mostly down I-95 and then US 501 in South Carolina, ahead of us. Any suggestions on places to grab a bite to eat? [...]
