Eatin' Good in the Tarheel State

The November issue of North Carolina's Our State had an article on "Our Favorite Foods" by Bob Garner.

It listed a food and then a good place to eat it. Of course, in NC, declaring a "best Place" is tantamount to fighting words, especially when it comes to the subject of barbecue.

Anyway, here's a list:

COLLARDS-- Bum's Restaurant, Ayden

FRIED OKRA-- Miller's Restaurant, Mocksville

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS-- Old School Mill's Fresh House, Locust

BARBECUE-- Grady's Barbecue, Dudley (the only place on the list I have eaten at. Great bbq, but prices not listed on the menu board.)

COUNTRY-STYLE STEAK-- Riverside Restaurant, Hillsborough
