While in Weston, I stopped at this cute little shop called Curated. They have a number of local goods, but especially some fun local foods!
I love those wooden spoons and needed one for my collection.
Then there's sugar scrubs from Bon Savon.
I have some of these jams from Smoke Camp Crafts - roadkill and ramp!
And then there's "Up The Creek" which had chow-chow, hot dog sauce and more.
This hot red pepper jelly from MJ's Mountain Made will be great with crackers and cream cheese.
So many herbs!
And this was my haul. Did you know there's cold press apple cider being made in Gassaway? Thanks to Lanagan Lodge, I do now.
The Huntington Greek Festival is a long-running festival that celebrates Greek culture.
There's a lot going on at this festival.
Outside on the church grounds, there are vendors, food vendors, music, dancing and more.
In the basement of the church, they serve dinner.
So I got a little of everything: pastichio (baked casserole of ground beef, macaroni and bechamel), moussaka (casserole with eggplant, ground beef, potatoes and bechamel), spanakopita (spinach and cheese in phyllo), dolmades (grape leaves with rice and meat), and Greek-style potatoes.
Plus, I got some baklava cheesecake, too.
Then, outside, they also have a pastry counter.
They have a variety box, but were sold out. So I made my own variety box with two of everything they had left.
That included two baklava, two fenikia, two flogeres, two katafi, 1 kok, and two pecan blossoms (which ended up being my favorites)
What's your favorite?
There's a pizza shop in Montgomery called Frank's Pizza.
This pizza shop is pretty straightforward and has been around for quite some time.
I called in an order for a calzone with cheese, sauce and mushrooms.
And, once I arrived, I saw a few locals enjoying meals at the standard diner chairs. I took my calzone home to enjoy.

T&L is a hot dog chain in northern West Virginia established in 1984.
There are a half dozen restaurants in the area - and I need to make my way to all of them.
The T&L in Weston has a diner theme, which also serves burgers, wraps, sandwiches, salads and fries.
Established in 1984 by the Henderson family, Dave’s Famous T & L Hot Dogs grew from very humble beginnings. The Proprietors, Dave and Barbara Henderson along with their children Scott, Mike, Lori, and daughter-in-laws Joyce and Bev, began an adventure that is still going strong after a quarter of a century. Now, Third generation managers/owners and grandchildren Kristin, Corey and Troy are continuing that adventure in their parent’s footsteps.
In the early 1990’s the Henderson’s added a new “twist” to their already popular restaurants. The Oldies Diners were created in an effort to re-create the happy and carefree lifestyle of days long gone by. The walls are covered with antique pictures, toys and memorabilia for customers viewing pleasure. You can listen to the sounds of the oldies as they play on the restored 1950’s juke box only 5 cents a play, and enjoy the great hot dogs, famous “fresh cut” fries, and fabulous specialty sandwiches. Don’t leave without looking at the restored antique gas pump with its unique glass dial.
Welcome back to the 50s! “Being West Virginia’s #1 selling hot dog, we are grateful for our faithful customers and to the hundreds of employees, who over the years have been the secret to our success. Hot dogs are still our specialty and the original homemade chili sauce (prepared daily in our stores) continues to attract customers from all over the country. We invite you to visit any of our seven locations throughout Harrison, Taylor, Marion and Monongalia Counties. Bring the kids, but don’t be surprised if you’re asked to explain who “Howdy Doody” was!
Of course, I went with a West Virginia-style hot dog! Have you been here?
