The Red Line Diner, located in St. Albans, has a classic '50s vibe and serves burgers, pizza and pasta.


The interior is very retro, with checkerboard floor, Betty Boop awaiting your entrance and boomerang laminate countertops.


After looking over the menu for a bit, Dawn and I went up to the front to place our orders.


To start, I ordered a strawberry milkshake (which had hunks of strawberry!).


And then I put in an order for cheesy breadsticks (this is necessary for any pasta dish).


For my entree, I ordered the stuffed shells with a pink sauce. That always hits the spot!

The Biltmore is an iconic home in Asheville, North Carolina, that is a must-see.


There is so much to do there - and of course a few things food-related.


First of all, you can get a complimentary wine tasting. This was such a fun activity.


And the shop has all kinds of tasty goodies.


Like, Lusty Monk Mustard!


And cheese straws - a classic southern snack.

Summersville continues to develop, and I love seeing all the new shops come in.


One restaurant that recently came onto my radar is Ichicban Japanese Steak House.


Though I wanted hibachi food without the experience, I also didn't want to pass up some of the sushi either.


First, some miso soup.


Then a salad with ginger dressing.


And finally, the chicken and noodles.



My sushi was the "Snow White Roll," which had crab, cream cheese, avocado and crunchies. Do you have a favorite roll here?

Clendenin is home to a restaurant called The Cupboard.


The Cupboard is a homestyle cafe that is well-known for its desserts.


Looking over the menu, I went for the special of turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes.


The interior is homey, with a country chic theme.


Plus, a piece of graham cracker pie for good measure!


Have you been?


It's a good one to try!

There's a bar just outside of Summersville in Mount Nebo that has a tractor outside of it. It's named the Tractor Bar.


GQ magazine published “The Dirty Dozen – Twelve of the Weirdest, Wackiest Bars in America Worth a Road Trip," according to the ABOUT page.


The theme carries inside, with tractor decorations, a gift shop and tractor seats at the bar. 


It was quite welcoming, and we sat outside and watched a storm roll in. We munched on breaded mushrooms and cheese sticks while enjoying some domestic brews.
