The smashed pepperoni roll caught my eye because it's taking West Virginia's greatest delicacy – the pepperoni roll – and making it into a grilled cheese.

I visited Stellar Noodle Co. in their final days open in Huntington.

The turquoise shaded building was only one of a few ramen shops in the area, so I wanted to be sure to check it out.

I ordered the Tonkotsu - Char Siu Pork. Traditional Pork Bone Broth. Ramen. Carrot. Bean Sprout. Cabbage. Ajitsuke Egg. Fish Cake. Nori. Scallion. My favorite part of this was the egg because it had so much flavor. I wish the noodles were a bit softer and absorbed some of that broth.

I also had the belly bao - which had those nice pillowy buns and thick pieces of pork belly. Decent pork flavor. I appreciated the fresh cabbage and sauce on top.

Bankers Corner Coffee Shop is a small, local restaurant that serve specialty coffees, pastries, and a full breakfast and lunch menu.

Located in Sistersville, this coffee shop is in a historic space: the former Union National Bank.

The space is warm and inviting, and the case at the counter was full of tempting treats.

You know how some people enjoy breakfast for dinner? I am the opposite. I would like to have dinner at breakfast time. I enjoy dinner foods more so than breakfast foods. So when given the option, I darted to the lunch menu, even if it was a little bit early in the day.

Nonetheless, I ordered the grilled meatloaf sandwich. Honestly, if this is on any menu, I'm probably ordering it. Meatloaf reminds me of home, and it is comfort food to me.

The meatloaf sandwich was like a grilled cheese with a thin slice of meatloaf in the middle. I actually think this construction was pretty neat. My only suggestion would be to have a nice tomato-based sauce to dip it in.

My hot chocolate was delicious. Truly tasted homemade. Simple and sweet.
