And now the long-awaited conclusion to my North Carolina extravaganza. We end in Charlotte. Where I ate here:
Obviously they’re not blowing money on signage. But sometimes simple works. Cooking the whole pig. That’s what a lady like myself likes to read about a restaurant. So I stepped into Mr. Bill Spoon’s for a little lunch. Where I started with an appetizer of hush puppies:
So cute, nestled in their little bed. Tasty and crispy. But they were soon overshadowed by the main course:
Chopped barbeque (PIG) with brunswick stew and slaw. YUM. Eaten like it should be – - in a car.
After lunch I had some time to kill so I watched the local wildlife.
Cops.
On Segways. Four-wheel-drive segways no less.
Then it was time to return to the city. BUT FIRST! Bonjangles!!!!!
A ham, egg and cheese biscuit. Look at that ham. That’s good ham! Oh, The South….my waistline is so happy I don’t live in you.
But then, trouble hit. There was a delay. Where do we Sterlings go when times get rough?
To the airport bar!
Where I got an obscenely large beer and a shot of Jameson for an obscenely small amount of money. Don’t look at me like that – the bar didn’t have Iron Horse on the menu – what was a girl supposed to do?
And so ends the North Carolina excursion. Thanks to all I met along the way. See you in …oh jeez. September. Are you ready for some more pork, belly?
