I will follow DiCarlo's Pizza wherever it goes - even if it's to South Carolina.

I've made my way to all the West Virginia locations, and I'm slowly venturing outside the state, too.
![DiCarlos - Myrtle Beach](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48106260922_6119bdc0f1_z.jpg)
While in the area, I stopped at the Myrtle Beach location.

The cheese melted super quickly, and it was a bit different - but still tasty.

When you're at the top of a mountain in winter, what do you want?
![Sunset Cantina](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48793732896_944505b1b6_z.jpg)
Hot chocolate maybe? Warm blankets?
![Sunset Cantina](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48793874407_ab849e7c7d_z.jpg)
Or, how about a margarita and tacos?
![Sunset Cantina](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48793371088_4242fc05f7_h.jpg)
Snowshoe may have been reading our minds because they recently opened Sunset Cantina.
![Sunset Cantina](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48793733081_028422ebea_z.jpg)
They have a variety of flavored margaritas, and I went with a peach one.
![Sunset Cantina](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48793733126_f4b101cac7_z.jpg)
Then, we had salsa, queso and guacamole.
![Sunset Cantina](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48793370853_50f2c7c552_z.jpg)
And, I also got a burrito: Burrito - Your choice of protein with chipotle black beans, cilantro rice, vegetables, wrapped in a flour tortilla and topped with queso with smoked pork carnitas.

There is so much good food in Asheville, but I made room for one more meal.
![12 Bones](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/40925365913_7cfc095929_z.jpg)
12 Bones is a BBQ restaurant that features ribs, as well as other smoked meats.
![12 Bones](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/40925360083_2a9e22f549_z.jpg)
We put our orders in at the counter and found a sweat in the dining space.
![12 Bones](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/40925366243_cbe3a713de_z.jpg)
While waiting for our food to be delivered, I helped myself to samples of the different sauces.
![12 Bones](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/46975632185_dafe2dafd0_z.jpg)
My ribs were unbelievably good.
![12 Bones](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/40925341853_4a1d62b170_z.jpg)
Smothered in sauce, then dipped in a sauce of my choosing, the ribs were tender and fall-off-the-bone.
![12 Bones](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/40925363283_aa1ab1f77a_z.jpg)
With sides of cornbread, cornbread pudding, and mac & cheese, this plate was top notch.
![12 Bones](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47839783622_5067ae5b1b_z.jpg)
Sweet sauce, savory smoked meats, creamy mac & Cheese, spicy corn pudding. It just doesn't get any better.

![DiCarlos buffet](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49294395717_8407977ea6_c.jpg)
Y'all. I have died and gone to heaven. Two of the most beautiful words in the English language have combined to form more than the sum of their parts: DiCarlo's. Buffet.

![Old Spruce Brewing](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48793726971_feeebd04fc_z.jpg)
The newest brewery in West Virginia is open, and I had a chance to check it out within the first month.
![Old Spruce Brewing](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48793727786_8281f30b5a_z.jpg)
Old Spruce Brewing, located at Snowshoe, is serving up their own porter, blonde, ESB, hazy IPA and red IPA.
![Old Spruce Brewing](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48793727501_e5690f9490_z.jpg)
While here, I went with a classic blonde, which was so tasty.
![Old Spruce Brewing](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48793727331_cdcbd791d4_h.jpg)
And they had snacks, like trout dip, spicy bacon, and more.

Have you been here yet?
![Tupelo Honey](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/46974556015_4339ff31e4_z.jpg)
Tupelo Honey is a well-known restaurant with a few locations that I was told is a must-visit while in the area.
![Tupelo Honey](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47890621111_b009d4ca61_z.jpg)
Since I had pretty much been eating all day, I was only in the mood for a snack.
![Tupelo Honey](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47101328174_4be9879f21_z.jpg)
We started with some biscuits and jam. I love that biscuits come with every meal in the south.
![Tupelo Honey](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/40924282603_6a10a3312f_z.jpg)
And I ordered some fried green tomatoes - panko-crusted fried green tomatoes, basil, roasted red pepper sauce, served over stone-ground goat cheese grits.

![Katherines Cafe](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48809289361_f60b747397_z.jpg)
Sometimes just homemade, comfort food is what hits the spot. And Kathrine's Cafe in Nitro does just that.
![Katherines Cafe](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48809289231_58893fba4b_z.jpg)
The pub has a gambling area, but the front seems mostly dedicated to diners. So, Dawn and I looked over the menu before making a decision.
![Katherines Cafe](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48809289221_1f91cded73_z.jpg)
She went wit ha burger, which they claim is the best in town. I went with a chicken and cheese quesadilla... and pasta salad!
![Katherines Cafe](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48809436137_b8ca416ae7_z.jpg)
It was made with love, and you can taste it!
