When I walked up to Becilla Honey at the Morgantown Farmers Market, the first thing I was told was that the honey was harvested on Wednesday - just days before and miles away. How cool is that?

I'm honestly not even sure what I'm going to do with the honey, yet. Maybe combine it with berries, greek yogurt and granola for breakfast? Maybe in cooking? We shall see.

My quest to finish trying all the drive ins in West Virginia has ramped up ever since the Charleston Gazette-Mail started their drive-in series. What I would give to be doing that assignment! Trying all the drive ins left in the state has been a bucket list thing of mine, and I have about six done and five more to go.



Biggie's, located in Grafton, is the only drive in remaining in the northern part of West Virginia. We made the quick drive out from Morgantown and pulled into a spot. We waited for a few minutes, but nobody came out - so I'm not sure if they still do curbside service or not. My stomach wasn't willing to find out. We went inside and looked over the menu of options.





They have burgers, hot dogs, fish sandwiches, chicken salad, ham sandwiches, BLTs, chicken sandwiches plus tons of sides like coleslaw, applesauce, deep-fried mushrooms (mm), broccoli and cheese, hot cheese balls, corn nuggets, onion rings and more.



I ordered two hotdogs (I feel like that's a very drive-in thing to do) with "everything," which included chili, mustard and onions. I also got slaw for an additional charge. And I ordered a side of small cheddar cheese balls. Deep-fried cheese, how can you pass that up?

My hotdogs were pretty good! The sauce was a little different - chunks in a very thin sauce so it wasn't the same overall consistency. But the slaw was delicious, and the bun was steamed. The cheese balls were delicious. Hot, cheesy, crunchy - what more do you need in life?

Biggie's does take Visa and Mastercard. They are open 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. seven days a week.

I'm so excited that the Monongalia County Ballpark has opened! One of my favorite things to do in Charleston was go to Power games, and I really developed a love for Minor League Baseball. Nearly any day of the week during summer, there's a game going on. It's this central gathering place for folks in the community, and it's super fun. Minor League Baseball has its own little quirky culture, and I'm excited to see it develop at the Monongalia County Ballpark.

I've been to this ballpark quite a few times now: first to see some WVU games and then to see the Black Bears. And the offerings differed depending on who is playing. For WVU, there are Sodexo items, like hotdogs, burgers, chicken tenders, nachos, pretzels, peanuts, cracker jacks.













For the Black Bears games, they expand on those offers and add items like pepperoni rolls! They are from Julia's, and they offer them warm and split with chili and cheese. They also offer "WV Dogs," which include chili, slaw, mustard and you can get onions from the condiment bar in the concourse.



Part of the local events include a pepperoni roll race. How cool is that?

If you've ever been to an off-site catered event in Morgantown, there's a good chance you've had a boxed lunch from the Beehive Cafe. Field trip to a baseball game? Picnic for an event? They have it covered.

You can place an order for however many boxed lunches you need, and they deliver lunch in the Greater Morgantown area. No delivery charges apply if the order is above $50.



Boxed lunches included sandwiches or wraps piled with meat and fixings, plus a deli pickle, kettle-cooked chips, a cookie and a "surprise." The surprise is a small toy of some sort.



The Beehive Cafe is operated by Pace Enterprises, which is a nonprofit, community-led organizations that provides prevocational and vocational rehabilitation services to individuals with disabilities throughout north-central West Virginia, according to its website.

PACE Enterprises is licensed by the State of West Virginia as a Community Rehabilitation Program and a Behavioral Mental Health Center. Clients are adults who have a documented disability, and who are interested in joining the local workforce. Disabilities range in severity level and type but include mental retardation/development disability, sensory, medical, physical, and/or emotional. Individuals may have a disability from birth or have acquired the disability through an accident, medical problem or other life-changing event.

The menu names each sandwich after an area of Morgantown. We stopped at their physical cafe location. Kayla ordered the Riverfront, which has thinly sliced oven roasted beef with cheddar cheese, leaf lettuce, tomato, slice red onion and a creamy horseradish sauce. I opted for the Suncrest, which is oven-roasted turkey breast on Artisan bread with smoked gouda cheese, leaf lettuce, tomato and a pesto sauce. Pretty tasty!
