Have you seen the coffee truck around town?

Park N Perk Coffee Truck is a new mobile coffee shop that also serves up some pastries and other items. 

I found them near the BBT downtown and looked over the menu.

The daily special was a white chocolate mocha, so I went with that.

And - they had blueberry, banana and chocolate muffins, and more!

The Metro Valley is home to three different rolled ice cream shops: Kustom Kreme, Scrapers and now Rolled 304.

Located in the Barboursville Mall, Rolled 304 is in the previous yogurt space and offer a number of specialty ice creams, as well as add-ins.

Clearly, I went with s'mores - marshmallow, Hershey's and graham cracker.

It's a bit of a process as they mix everything together, then spread it out thin enough before scraping it up into rolled pieces of ice cream.

It's a novelty - but also tasty.

During my Leadership West Virginia session, I was able to check out GrecianFest 2019 in Wheeling.

There was dancing and food and, most importantly, baklava.

Inside the building, there was art and all of the pastries.

I got some Kataifi - honey-soaked fillo.

And baklava and another goody.

Food Thai Thai is a Thai restaurant located in Barboursville.



One of my best friends, Kayla, and her family were stopping through town so I met her for a quick bite to eat.

The restaurant has these really lifelike wax sculptures of food and dessert. I thought they were real!

The menu features noodle dishes, curries and salads.

To start, we ate some spring rolls and a fried pork belly dish.

For my entree, I went with the standard pad thai with shrimp.

What's your favorite dish here?

Buzz Food Service is a local meat and seafood producer who primarily services restaurants and other chefs. Since Buzz is more of a business to business entity, rather than a business to consumer, I didn't really know of them until I became involved with Charleston Restaurant Week.

But if you're from the Kanawha Valley, you might be familiar with them for another reason: Buzz Buttered Steaks. These are apparently a local favorite. So even grocery stores sell these patties with a dab of butter in the center.

And this little story on the back is just hilarious.
