I'm returning to my favorite Gino's item: the calzone. Surprisingly, not all locations of this West Virginia pizza & pasta chain offer them for some reason. But the Fayetteville Gino's does.
This rendition was a bit soggy on the bottom, so not my favorite one. But, it still tasted great; the texture just leaves something to be desired.
I'm seeing more pan-Asian food trucks open up locally, like Hinode, which I found in St. Albans.
This food truck offers hibachi, sushi and some appetizers.
I went with a steak hibachi. Why they don't give you the delicious sauces along with it, I have no clue. Pros: Lo mein was soft and moist, plenty to offer. Cons: steak a bit chewy, veggies overdone.
Sushi was deep-fried with shrimp tempura, avocado, cream cheese, spicy mayo, masago, eel sauce. Typically, this would be my jam. But either my preferences are changing or the whole overly dressed, overly dried thing is just not doing it for me. It just tasted fried and oily and not my jam. But I won't turn down shrimp and avocado and cream cheese, so I definitely enjoyed that.
Get Fit is a smoothie and nutrition shop that has opened its second location in the Suncrest Towne Centre. I've been to their Pierpont Road location, so I wanted to. check out the latest location.
They do have plenty of supplements and cleanses if that is your sort of thing.
They offer acai bowls, wraps, salads, oatmeal, melts and toasts. I went with an avocado toast, which had avocado, arugula, salt/pepper, olive oil and I added feta.
The toast was good, and though it may not be quite as healthy, I would have loved a drizzle of balsamic over top.
My smoothie - strawberry banana - was delicious. Sweet, but not too sweet, and refreshing.
At the Gino’s in Hamlin, I ordered a 9-inch pizza with mushrooms. I liked that it was on the well-done side. It just gave it a little bit of a different flavor with deeper, toasty flavors. In fact, this one may have been a bit too well some around the edges. It was a tad burnt.
