After dinner in Matewan, I was in the mood for ice cream.

And, we passed by Bulldog Diner, so that was the winner!

Bulldog Diner is pretty large, but we were the only patrons.

The menu has a ton of fried appetizers, and desserts. That's really all I need in life.

I ordered mini corndogs and mozzarella sticks.

And, a "Bulldog Blast" with caramel.

Yum!

It's ramp season!

And for many of us, that means ramp dinners, ramparoni rolls .... and ramp burgers. At least at Ridge View BBQ.

For the third year in a row, the BBQ restaurant has served their ramp burger to excited crowds who line up early in the morning to get the first one of the year.

The burger is topped with a pimento cheese with bacon and ramps. And, you can "ramp up" any other item - like I did with fries.

The burger comes topped with the ramp & bacon pimento cheese, as well as lettuce, tomato and pickle.

And, you get a cool little souvenir cup.

And here are the fries with the "ramp it up" on the side.

What are your thoughts on ramps?

Have you had the special yet?

My coworkers and I made a trip all the way down to Matewan for a fun day full of airboat rides, museum visits and food.

Wingo's Grill is the popular restaurant in town and features some cool local memorabilia.

The menu has bbq, burgers, ribs and more.

I went with the "Huge Boston Butt BBQ Sandwich," which is the house specialty. It says it's pork "worth feudin' over." Have you been here?

Charleston is home to a lot of unique food stores.

One I recently stumbled upon was "Spice of Life."

There are a ton of Indian foods and ingredients, which is a great resource!

Have you been here?

If you've ever been to the Parkersburg area, you're probably familiar with The Pizza Place.

The iconic pizza shop has a cult following for its two locations. And, now, there's a third in Morgantown.

The Pizza Place serves two kinds of pizza: Sicilian (thick crust) and Neopolitan (thin crust).

They also have items like pepperoni rolls, calzones, strombolis, wings, and subs.

To start, we sampled a pepperoni roll!

And, then I got one slice of each style.

The Sicilian is thick, with a crisp crust.

The little pepperonis curl up into tiny grease cups.

The Neopolitan slices are large.

I got mine with mushrooms! Which do you like better?
