      I will let Carly know that you missed her. We miss her from being with us on the videos. We videoed this on Friday and she was at school. David and I will go on little adventures on Fridays. But we make sure we don't choose a place that she would really want to go.
      Food was excellent and the people were so kind too. It's nice when you go somewhere that wants your business and cares about you liking the food. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

    Down in South Carolina, barbecue is the "Real Vitamin B" and is an essential food group. Too bad they were out of banana pudding. My grandmother would occasionally change-up how she'd fix it. Imagine it with Pepperidge Farm "Chessmen" cookies or Lorna Doone shortbread cookies instead of vanilla wafers. Another good video. God Bless!

    The establishment is really retro and I don’t know how they can manage to make so much food in a small working space.
    The food really looked delicious and David’s choice was very different.
    Cindy, you made me belly laugh when you said that David was sweet and hot too! What a surprise… 😂. Carly would not have cared!!!
    I would completely tip the sauce cup and chug it all down. Cheers!
    I tend to look the vinegar based so you could have my sweet hot… 😉
    Sorry it was drizzling but glad they had umbrella tables.
    It would be great in they would have an open covered picnic pavilion.
    The potato salad looked rich and creamy as well as the Mac n cheese.
    I am surprised that you guys didn’t share banana puddin…
    I got some catching up to do on watching some videos.
    I make long conversations with the people I am fond of and consider my friends although never seeing face to face.
    I think all of you have a terrific life being able to explore, travel and eat from plain, fancy & fine dining. I like dives too! Ahha….
    Have you ever gone to Ocean City, Md. for their Spring and Fall Festivals? I really enjoy attending.
    Erie, Pa. Has some neat places to eat, amusement park, and their famous Smith hotdogs.
    A trip around the lake is always nice too.
    We were just there on May 1 and ate Thai food.
    I also thought about Gettysburg as well.
    Each place is 3 hours away heading in different directions.
    BTW, I do take breaths while shooting the wind 🌬️!
    Take care my sweet hot friends! ❤️🫂❤️‍🔥⭐️💐

      @vafunseekers  4 місяці тому +1

      We loved going to Mama Jean's BBQ. I think the reason they limit the menu is so they cook bigger portions to supply enough for all the customers. Such nice people there. You like going somewhere that people actually want you there and want you to enjoy your meal.
      You would have seen some banana pudding but they were out. 😢 Must be good!
      We have not been to Ocean City for any festivals. I will have to look into it. We went to the Neptune Festival in Virginia Beach last fall and it was really nice.
      I'm going to look and see what all Lake Erie has in the area. I have never heard of Smith Hotdogs before!
      We do enjoy getting out and seeing new places and trying different places to eat.
      I know this might seem like a crazy question, but do you have a Long John Silvers in your area? Lots of them have closed so I was curious.
      Thanks for your continued support! We appreciate you!
      As far as the sweet Virginia heat sauce....

    What a beautiful place to have an afternoon picnic, liked the idea to order your food and eat on picnic tables. Did not skimp on portions I feel sorry for David, he watched you try your barbecue sandwich and then his noodles wouldn't cooperate. His lips had to be drooling. That Mac n cheese looked awesome, with the price of barbecue today very fair price, Tell Carly the wife and I said hello. Have a wonderful day 🙏

      It was such a nice lunch, even with the rain shower. Of course the nice umbrellas kept us dry for the brief period of rain. We like eating outside at places like this.
      Trust me it didn't take David too long to get to those noodles. lol I thought it was a unique dish for a bbq place. Everything we had was excellent. They ran out of the banana pudding so we didn't get to try that.

We typically like to do the old school bbq places that have been doing it for years. This place however was really good and they are the real deal too.
      On Fridays we will do reviews while Carly is at school sometimes because David is off. However Carly only has a few weeks left of school and she will be able to be with us. She said to tell you hello.
