Sam's Hot Dog Stand is a local hot dog shop that has locations all through the Metro Valley and beyond.

These hot dogs are well-known in the area - especially if they're West Virginia style: chili, slaw, mustard and onions.

And while driving through Huntington, I saw a Sam's location with a drive thru! So I whipped around and stopped at the window.

One hot dog with everything was just what I needed!

Doughnut culture is a real thing.

While I may not be the biggest doughnut (or donut) fan, I can certainly appreciate a good one.

HOLE Doughnuts is well-known in the Asheville area.

With dougnut truck in tow, HOLE Doughnuts has long lines that span out the door, and I was happy to join behind them in line.

When we got up to the front, there were four kinds to choose from:

Vanilla glaze, toasted almond, toasted almond sesame and cinnamon, honeysuckle and cinnamon sugar.

I went for a vanilla glaze to keep it simple. I like how they're a bit misshapen, and you can watch folks literally make them and hand-cut them. Freshly fried makes it perfect.

Quicksilver Arcade Bar is a new spot in Huntington that combines a few fun things: drinks, arcade games and hot dogs.

Quicksilver offers some really fun cocktails that are named after video games.

And I went for Tonic The Hedgehog - pineapple vodka, curacao, spring, orange and cherry - very sweet, very tasty.

And as long as you're drinking, most of the arcade games are free! I think just about everything except for Dance, Dance, Revolution and a couple more.

And, if you get hungry, they have something for that, as well.

Dig Dog is a fun little counter located within the arcade that focuses on hot dogs and sides.

They have a bunch of fun hot dog toppings.

And I went with two of them: the Hawaiian with pineapple, bacon and almonds and the Dig Dog, which had mac & cheese, bacon and Fritos.

And my friend Kinsey got the pizza rolls - which were just like little pizza rolls!

Have you been here before?


Early Girl Eatery specializes in farm-to-table comfort food.

The restaurant has been featured on the Food Network, and it tends to be quite busy.

But Dawn and I made a goal to make it here and try something at this much-raved about establishment.

I went for shrimp and grits, which was a bit watery and kinda bland. One of my favorite dishes, but not my favorite rendition.
