T-Giving NC-- Pork Chop Sandwiches

Always good to get back to the old home state.

I got off the interstate at NC-89 and took it into Mt. Airy, Andy Griffith's hometown and one that has taken full advantage of its Mayberry connections. NC-89 is a nice back-country drive, but watch out for the lower-than-you-might-expect speed limits. You never know where old Barn might be hiding.

I am glad they once again are coking the pork chop sandwiches at the grill by the front window of the place. They cook a lot of them at a time, then take them back to the kitchen for use when needed.

The price of one is now $4 and is really a meal in itself, with much of the stuff coming out if you don't hold it down hard enough.

It is always fun to listen to the locals talk and waitresses obviously don't have assigned areas as anyone might take your order, bring it, refill your drink, give you your check and take your money. They sure know a lot about the locals and talk as if they were family.

If you're ever in the area, you definitely have to stop by Snappy Lunch for one of those great pork chop sandwiches. But come early as the place closes after 1 pm. They do serve breakfast as well, but go for the pcses.
