What Are You Doing In N.C. Before You Go Home

Are you guys really telling me the Italian food in NC isn't better than the Italian food in NYC/Long Island?

Carabbas and The Olive Garden are top notch.

:lol: :lol:

N/M

Eat a lot of food. Today going to some low country soul food place called Merts. Tomorrow going to go to a North Carolina BBQ place called Saucers.

Don't feel like drinking today so doubt we will head over to Asheville. Maybe take a long ride and do some of that Blue Ridge Parkway that is supposed to be a great drive

I still haven't gotten completely over the loss so i doubt I will watch hoops today. Hopefully I won't run into any of the Duke team or Coach K in my hotel.

I'm really hoping the hotel gets the AMC channel so I can watch the walking dead tonight

I think I might puke from all the food we ate at Merts today. Caramel cake is going to go down as one of my 3 favorite desserts of all time.

Next time I visit I'm going to take a food tour that samples regional foods at 7 different restaurants. It is one of the top rated attractions on Trip Advisor for Charlotte. the tour we took was 5 star; Charlotte is one of the nicest cities in America.

that's how I found Merts because one of the tours had reviews and the people who took the tour raved about Merts.

Late last night Nathalie wanted tea from starbucks so we went to get some but no starbucks were open so we walked back to Merts and got tea there since they were open till 11.

Oh and we got a piece of a different homemade cake even though I could barely eat German chocolate cake. That one was good but nowhere near as good as the caramel cake.

And I'm not sure if I've ever had cornbread so good.

This Sauceman's place we are going to lunch today is something like the 16th highest rated place on trip advisor so I plan on porking up on some bbq and mac and cheese with some fried pickles
