Papa Joe's Famous Meats is a small deli in Monongah known for their sausage recipe. Papa Joe’s Famous Meats, originally run by Papa Joe Manchin, debuted as a market back in 1969.



Though it looks as though they are not currently open, I was able to stop by to check it out. As an added bonus, they were a stop on the Pepperoni Roll Trail.



While I didn't get to try any of their hot prepared foods, I indulged in their pasta salad.



The classic Italian-style pasta salad featured various deli meats like salami and pepperoni, plus cheese and veggies (tomatoes, broccoli) in a simple but addictive dressing.

If there's a small ice cream stand along the road anywhere in West Virginia, there's 95% chance I'll probably stop at it.



Such is the case when I was going through Monongah and saw the Dairy Kone.



This dairy bar had one of my favorite treats - their version of a s'mores blizzard. I'm not sure if I've said this before or not, but I think graham cracker is the most underrated ice cream topping.
