Let's check out another Tudor's Biscuit World location, shall we? We're heading to Logan today.



The drive thru has been open during the covid19 epidemic, so I got in line and waited for my turn. Looking over the menu, I can see I've made good progress on the named biscuits. Next up: The Tootie. 



The Tootie has country ham, egg and cheese. From what I see, it appears that Tudor's actually has about three types of ham - country, shaved and classic. The shaved has the sort of very thin ham you'd get in a ham & cheese sandwich from a deli. This country ham is more of a slab that is fried and has bits of fat on it. I think the better option is shaved. That is, until I try classic.

It's Pizzamingo, round two! The Gilbert location is actually the one I'm most familiar with - red and yellow building and all - as I've driven past it numerous times. But, this time, I was able to stop.



Pizzamingo is known for its yellow crust and is a hometown favorite. Since I was able to just try the pizza, I went for something else on the menu this time: Pizza Bread.



The pizza bread has a toasted bun, a sweeter sauce, mozzarella and mushrooms. This is the second time I've had a "pizza bread" in southern West Virginia, but I honestly hadn't really herd of it until then. It's more like a toasted pizza hoagie - but I really enjoy it.



What's your favorite thing at Pizzamingo?

Trail 12 BBQ has made quite a name for itself for BBQ in southern West Virginia. Located at Twin Hollow Campground & Cabins, this BBQ restaurant has been super active on social and has shown delicious dishes that I couldn't wait to get my hands on.



During quarantine, Trail 12 was still operating - thank goodness - and serving BBQ deliciousness through its pick-up window. Their menu features hickory smoked baby back ribs, wings, pulled pork, pulled chicken, shredded beef brisket, burgers, smoked bologna, hot dogs and more. 



Because ribs are the bread and butter, I ordered a half rack with a sweet Memphis-style BBQ sauce. These ribs were SO smoky, super tender and had a good flavor. Ribs are typically not my go-to, but these were tasty.



For sides, I got a spicy mac & cheese, which definitely did have some heat to it - but creamy, too.




And potato salad, which was standard.



Plus a roll to top it all off!

Tell me: What's your favorite Tudor's Biscuit? I've almost made my way through the whole menu. I've enjoyed the Rocket so far, and my old standby: the sausage biscuit. But when I found myself in Chapmanville, I decided it was time to try another new one.



None of their named biscuits have chicken... but did you know they have a chicken biscuit?! Look out Chick-fil-a. So I ordered one. And had I thought this through, I would've made a nice combo with hot sauce and honey (love that hot and sweet). 



Overall, this was a good biscuit! It's definitely a bit dry without some cheese or something, so honey would've taken this up a level. But I liked it! It's not as greasy as some of the other meats and not gigantic, so it's a nice change up.

You know how everybody has a devotion to their hometown pizza place? Well, you know how I am about my beloved DiCarlo's Pizza. Pizzamingo has a similar following for those in southern West Virginia.



Currently, Pizzamingo has just two locations: Brenton and Gilbert, though I learned this wasn't always the case and there used to be more. But while in this part of the state, I decided to check out both locations. Why not? First up is Brenton.



Brenton - as a whole - is new to me. I don't know that I've ever been through this town, but Pizzamingo was easy to find. The dining room was closed up due to the Quarantine, but luckily taking to-go orders. I went with a small cheese pizza with mushrooms. The first thing I noticed was that the crust has a yellow-ish tinge to it. Is it grease? Is it delicious secret spices? I don't know, but I enjoyed the slight chew of the crust. The pieces were cut in squares, which is not something you see every day. So that was fun. The sauce was mild, the cheese plentiful and overall - a very solid pizza.
