Huntington has the most Tudor's Biscuit World locations of any town that I know. There are a handful in the city, plus some in the outlying areas.



The location on US 60 looks like it's one of the older locations, with a more muted color palette. Nonetheless, the line was wrapped around the building and onto the road.



The Mountaineer is country ham, egg, hash brown and cheese. I wasn't quite sure what country ham is - and I know they have classic and shaved - but I went for it. Country ham is apparently more like a slab of ham, with which you get the fatty pieces around the edge. I did love how crispy this hashbrown was, though. It makes the sandwich.



Not a bad biscuit, but I think it would be better with their shaved ham.

No. 1 Kitchen Chinese Restaurant in Huntington along US 60 is one of the few traditionally Chinese restaurants open in the Kanawha Valley area during quarantine.



And as one that I've never tried before, I thought it was a great time to get out of the house for a minute, support a local business and do so while socially distant. Their system was one of the most interesting - I called in an order, when I got to the restaurant, I wrote down my phone number on a piece of paper and put it in a box outside the restaurant. Occasionally, they would fish the papers out of the box to see who was waiting and would then call a name out and bring the food.



So, my haul was honey chicken - sweet, white meat chicken. This is a classic for that sweet and tangy flavor. Then the garlic shrimp with veggies gives me a bit of heat plus some fresh veggies that I love.



Then steamed dumplings. I think these were my favorite part because there is something comforting about a dumpling - whatever form it may be in.



Plus shrimp rolls and crab rangoons. Both were OK




One thing I really did like about this restaurant is that the portions were small (and cheap), so getting a few different things was no problem - which is exactly how I love to order!

Danville has one of the busiest Tudor's in recent memory. Every time I've driven by, it's packed. This visit was no exception.



Let's take a look at the left panel of this menu for a second. I've tried all but just a couple - the Miner, the Dottie, the Mountaineer and the Steak, Cheese and Hashbrown (why does this one not have a name?). The latter sounded like the tastiest option on this day. 



Welp, despite repeating my order twice, I'm pretty sure they mixed up the egg and hashbrown, so I may not have had the full experience. BUT, overall, I have learned that the steak is one of my favorite proteins here (shockingly) and cheese makes everything good. This one is not bad.

Let's check out another Tudor's Biscuit World location, shall we? We're heading to Logan today.



The drive thru has been open during the covid19 epidemic, so I got in line and waited for my turn. Looking over the menu, I can see I've made good progress on the named biscuits. Next up: The Tootie. 



The Tootie has country ham, egg and cheese. From what I see, it appears that Tudor's actually has about three types of ham - country, shaved and classic. The shaved has the sort of very thin ham you'd get in a ham & cheese sandwich from a deli. This country ham is more of a slab that is fried and has bits of fat on it. I think the better option is shaved. That is, until I try classic.

It's Pizzamingo, round two! The Gilbert location is actually the one I'm most familiar with - red and yellow building and all - as I've driven past it numerous times. But, this time, I was able to stop.



Pizzamingo is known for its yellow crust and is a hometown favorite. Since I was able to just try the pizza, I went for something else on the menu this time: Pizza Bread.



The pizza bread has a toasted bun, a sweeter sauce, mozzarella and mushrooms. This is the second time I've had a "pizza bread" in southern West Virginia, but I honestly hadn't really herd of it until then. It's more like a toasted pizza hoagie - but I really enjoy it.



What's your favorite thing at Pizzamingo?
