One I've tried recently is Hibachi Master, which is made-to-order hibachi food. I went with teriyaki chicken, which came with vegetables and fried rice. Yum! Have you been?
Melange Cafe is a unique restaurant offering coffee and tacos - what a great combination.
The new space is large with tons of windows and natural light, so it becomes inviting.
Looking over the menu, I was tempted by the waffles but ultimately decided on a taco combo.
I went with one steak and one pork taco, a side of Spanish rice and 2 mini muffins.
The tacos are more small, street tacos with options of white onion, cilantro, salsa verde and queso fresco as toppings.
And, though I didn't get coffee on this day, I did get something to drink.
On their beverage menu is a list of bubble teas.
And I had to get an original, which came loaded with boba.
All in all, a tasty lunch!
West Virginia has two ciders: Hawk Knob and Swilled Dog.
I made my way to Hawk Knob some time ago, but Swilled Dog is a bit further from me so it took me a while.
Located in Franklin, Swilled Dog Hard Cider has a huge facility.
The large wooden bar area, the pool tables, the tables - there's a ton of space here for groups or parties.
We sat at the bar and tried a little bit of everything.
Literally.
Pineapple, caramel apple, mango ginger and root beer were just some of the unique flavors.
Have you been here?
This location is interestingly at the top of this little perch and you have to ring a little buzzer to get inside.
I ordered two hot dogs with chili, slaw, mustard and onions on grilled buns. I know the traditional West Virginia-style hot dog poo-poos English-style buns, but it's hard to deny they're tasty.
Not only to eat.
But to decorate!
