Foodie Log 24, date August 19, 2011

just returned from a day food trek to Williamsburg ... a 5 hour drive (total) for 3 hours of food - that equals just the right amount of dreamy yumminess - mmmmm fooooooood

Pierce's BBQ
a must for bbq fans - just look at the parking lot - truckers, police, constructioners, neighbors, tourists, it's like "we are the world" - everyone gets together, holds hands, and sings their hearts out for BBQ!
The JC Special is your one-stop meal - with it you get your pulled pork sandwich (with coleslaw, or if you are one of those people, then without), fries, drink, AND a cookie (mmmm chocolate chip cookie)

The Peanut Shop
they know how to do nuts and they are all nutty-licious, but my absolute favorites (for now) are the chocolate-covered peanut brittle and the sweet georgia pecans - be forewarned though, they don't come cheap ...

The Cheese Shop
this is a crowd favorite - the lines can get long, but it's worth the wait for some simple sammich joy. there is a line to order your food and a line to wait for your food (opposite ends of the counter in the back). try their creamy House dressing - i like mine to accompany a roast beef sandwich, on the side. just two pieces of bread and some meat - nom nom nom!

Sno-to-Go
sno to go offers flavored shaved ice (very finely shaved) - all good and delicious, but then they can "stuff" it for you (i.e., layer of creamy soft serve between the tasty shaved ice) - and what you get is heaven in a cup! (yes, hyperbole is the ONLY way i can describe things!)
my advice - don't be a hero, just go for a small and if you are really unsure of your appetite, then go for the junior - and whatever you do, don't skip the stuffing (if you do, it will haunt you for the rest. of. your. unstuffed (aka so sad). life!)
