Thai food is one of my favorites.

So, when I was spending a leisurely day in Huntington and came across Surin of Thailand, I knew I wanted to check it out.

Surin of Thailand actually has a few locations in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Mississippi. Huntington's is the only in West Virginia.

I looked over the menu and went with my standard pad thai to test the waters. But first, out came a soup - full of mushrooms and scallions.

Then, I ordered the "crab angels," which honestly, I could just live on if I needed to. I love these things no matter where I go.

And the pad thai was a giant helping, and I pour the peanuts all over for some crunch. Really tasty.

Grindstone Coffeeology was a coffee food truck that has turned to a permanent location in Huntington - with a drive-thru!

The coffee menu is simple, and I went with an Americano.

I saw a "Salted Caramel Square" on the menu that I also ordered - not realizing it's a piece of chocolate. Not complaining.

The coffee was deep-flavored and rich. What's your favorite drink here?

Paradise Donuts has two locations in West Virginia: Milton and Huntington.

I recently went to both of these locations to check it all out.

The donuts range from classic glazes ones to more interesting flavors.

Some of the different ones included a maple bacon, gummi bears, and cinnamon toast crunch.

I got one of each!


But there were long johns, fruity pebbles and more, too.

Which is your favorite flavor?

Gummi bear


Cinnamon Toast Crunch


Maple bacon

River's Edge Cafe is a St. Albans restaurant that is a staple in town.

The menu has salads, wings, and more - but those were the main ones I was eyeing!

I ordered six boneless honey bbq wings and nachos to snack on while I caught up on blogs. I did not realize how gigantic this meal would be, so I packed up the nachos for late and downed those wings.

There's just something about wings that reminds me of college. Satisfying.

That giant pile of nachos did not go to waste. Jalapenos were peppered through, giving it some kick. What's your favorite dish here?

Drip Coffee is located in Area 34, a coworking space in Hurricane.

The coffee shop offers a variety of coffees, teas, pastries, and their specialty, avocado toast.

The space is adorable - with a cozy, rustic vibe.

Inside the shop, there are just a few spaces to sit, but there are plenty just outside the door in the open space.

I went for a mocha freeze - which is essentially a mocha with blended ice. But there were a lot of drinks that sounded fabulous, like this lavender latte.

The pastries looked delish, but I wanted to try their specialty: avocado toast.

It was tasty!
