Dutch Haus Restaurant is located in Lewisburg on a golf course.

It focuses on BBQ and steak.

We made our way to the dining rom and seated ourselves.


The entryway has a variety of specials available.

We perused the menu - in search for something warm on this chilly day.



And I ultimately decided on the - Dutch Haus Special Made In House: Slow-Roasted Pulled Pork BBQ on Roll With Cole Slaw.

Plus a side of twice-baked potato!




Sara went for this homemade vegetable soup.

This past weekend, I was fortunate to attend the Low Country Mountaineers 12th Annual BBQ Bash and Pepperoni Roll Bake Off.

Not only do I love any event that celebrates my alma mater, but I loved heading to Charleston, South Carolina, once again.

The event is truly remarkable. Held at The Citadel, there is great bbq from a local vendor, Mister Bees chips, and a homemade pepperoni roll bake off.


And, I had the opportunity to award the overall baker.

There were six or so rally tasty pepperoni rolls.

Some had a garlic exterior which made it almost like a breadstick.

Others were baked longways and cut into pieces.

Others were perfectly rolled up like little eggrolls. 

I chose #7, which just so happened to be Sara Roth - the organizer of the event! It was a great event, and I can't wait to attend again!

Angela's on the River is a St. Albans restaurant with a focus on seafood.

Angela's on the River is a locally owned family restaurant with a variation of cuisine. Located in Saint Albans, WV, we have three dining facilities including a bar. Come and enjoy a delicious meal with us!

Sara and I went to check out this restaurant in her new town.



This was at Christmas time (if that tells you how backed up on blogs I am) - and it was decorated beautifully.

We were led downstairs to an open dining space that overlooks the river.

The menu features salads, steak, seafood, pastas, chicken and pork.

It's a tough decision, but I went with "Crab Stuffed Whitefish" - Chilton House whitefish with Angela's homemade crab stuffing.

We started with warm rolls.





See the view overlooking the river?


My dish came with two sides - I went with macaroni & cheese (of course) and scalloped potatoes.



Sara went for a seafood pasta. Have you been?

No matter where you are in West Virginia, there's usually a Tudor's nearby. I found myself driving through Beaver and in desperate need of a biscuit.

My go-to: sausage biscuit with grape jelly.

Books & Brews opened a location on the West Side.

I've been to their Hurricane location, so I was excited to see one a bit closer to home.

It's located in the "Elk City" neighborhood, and it's a large space.

They have a reading nook area in the front by the windows with books.

And the remainder of the restaurant is table service.

I actually came here twice. The first time we ordered a quick lunch. Dawn went with a pizza.

And I ordered the Italian sandwich with shaved ham, pepperoni, salami, tomato, lettuce, peppers, provolone, oil & vinegar, oregano, cracked pepper on a baguette.

On my second visit, they had added pepperoni rolls to the menu. So I had to try them.
