St. Marys has this absolutely adorable ice cream truck, which churns out ice cream, as well as coffee, cookies and other goodies.

Scoops features some unique flavors like Lemon Crunch and Blueberry Pomegranate.

So, of course I had to try both of those. Wow!

I recently met a self-proclaimed hot dog connoisseur who told me Bammy's has the best hot dogs in the Kanawha Valley.

That's a bold statement, considering I follow all the recommendations of my friends over at The West Virginia Hot Dog Blog very carefully.

Nonetheless I made my way over to St. Albans to check on this claim.

I pulled up, thinking it was initially a bar. But it's actually quite spacious inside.

I ordered two hot dogs on grilled buns with chili, slaw, mustard and onions.

The hot dogs were tasty. But I'll leave it to the folks at the WV Hot Dog Blog to go into the finer details. What do you think?

There's a new spot on the East End that is not far from my home.

Jeff's Curbside is brand-new and located in the I Am U space on the corner of Ruffner and Washington streets.

He's serving up some craveworthy dishes, including one that is making a splash: cajun chicken pasta from Cagney's (apparently a Charleston legend) that has fettucine tossed with diced tomatoes, seasoned chicken, cajun spices and heavy cream. Its topped with parmesan cheese and chives and served with garlic toast and a garden salad.

He's brand new, so I think the menu will expand and the curbside services will be available in the future (so no having to run in!). But for now, it's still very tasty! This portion held me over til dinner - and then some!

I'm also curious about the location - I read it serves soul food. Does anyone know about this?

Another day, another new drive-in!

And since we talk about food here, let's talk snacks.

At Meadow Bridge Drive-In, they have yummy concessions.

I tried a Rocky Road candy for the first time - which has chocolate coated marshmallow with cashews.

And, then, I got a personal pizza!

The Grind is a restaurant and gaming spot in St. Albans. And by gaming, I'm talking D&D, Magic the Gathering, and other tabletop games.

The restaurant features items like BBQ sandwiches, burgers, and a few entrees (steak, chicken, etc.) It's a small menu with some variety.

I visited as soon as they opened one day, so I had the whole place to myself.

I wanted something unique from the menu, and the item that sounded the most fun to me was "Red and White Crispy Ravioli." It's crispy fried ravioli served with both alfredo and marina sauce, so I decided to give that a go.

First, though, was a house salad with French dressing. 

And, this was actually a neat concept. If you're not sure if you're in the mood for a white sauce or red sauce, you can get both at once here. Have you been yet?
