There are a number of restaurants named Fujiyama in West Virginia, including this one in Summersville. Typically a hibachi restaurant with sushi, this Fujiyama is no different. It looks as though it's under the same ownership as the one in Beckley, with very similar menus.



For my entree, I went with the Pink Lady Roll, which has spicy crab, cream cheese, avocado and that's all that really matters right? Guilty pleasure.

After years in Charleston, I'm still learning about restaurants I haven't visited yet. The Elk River Bar & Grill was one of them.



This bar & grill just on the outskirts of town holds a steak dinner on Saturdays - Doug's steaks (which I believe may be from a previous restaurant).



The meal comes with a salad: iceberg lettuce, cheese, carrots, cucumbers, peppers, bacon and croutons. Not bad.



And the steak was humongous - chargrilled. Comes with a baked potato and garlic bread. I'm personally not a fan of the fatty pieces on the steak, and I wish the baked potato had come with butter and sour cream.

The Craigsville Tudor's Biscuit World was along the way during a recent road trip. So, of course I had to stop in.



The menu has all the standard biscuits, and just the couple left that I have yet to try. Like I mentioned previously, there are three kinds of ham biscuits. Last time I tried the shaved, and now I'm onto the country ham. This is a thicker ham in pieces. I may have snuck some cheese on there. Not bad; I am a bigger fan of the shaved.

Hannahbug's Chocolates, based in Point Pleasant, can be found in other shops around the state. When I saw all of their beautiful chocolate creations on Facebook, I put an order in on their website and ended up picking it up here in Charleston. 



Because I have never tried these local chocolates before, I ordered a sample so I could get a taste of a few different things. The top photo is a Salted Caramel Pecan Cluster - so like a turtle. It's a few of my favorite things all wrapped up in one.



She makes these little baby peanut butter cups that have a thick chocolate layer with creamy peanut butter inside. So good.



This apple moonshine ganache has West Virginia written all over it, but wooo-weee. Be prepared to get a real taste of that moonshine.



Same for the cherry!



My favorite, though, was their take on a Snickers bar, which is JUST like that - but even better. Smoother, creamier, just overall better.



And, yet, the star of the show was this gigantic caramel apple, covered in milk chocolate, white chocolate and nuts. Just wow.

There is a brand new smoothie shop on the East End of Charleston. Zeganz Smoothie Shop has healthy smoothie offerings, and food will be forthcoming.



And, in case you didn't pick up on it - it's all vegan and organic.



The space is long and narrow, with plenty of seating for those who might want a refreshing drink while in the neighborhood (or maybe that's just how I imagine a perfect day going).



The menu has smoothie options like strawberry banana with agave and vanilla almond milk.



The Razzified is the one that caught my eye - orange juice, raspberry, peach, ginger and agave.



Plus there are add-ons, like oats, raw cacao nibs, hemp seeds and more.



While I know that's probably a big draw for folks, I was looking for the tastiest option.



And I may have found it! I love the light, fruity flavor, but I could still taste the ginger, which gave it a bit of spice.
