![]() Eggnog is one of my favorite Christmas "foods"! A thick, dairy-based drink made with milk, sugar, eggs and spices, usually nutmeg and vanilla, it is often spiked with a little bit of liquour and it is typically served during the Christmas and New Year holidays. It’s a fun drink t... Read more.. Read more... |

I adore pie! Given the choice between cake and pie, pie will always win - hands down. Unfortunately, pies have always been a bit of a culinary catastrophe in my house. My dad once exclaimed, upon seeing one my creations, that nobody could ever accuse me of trying to pass off a store boug... Read more.. Read more... |
Charleston Area Reviews (by ForkYou)
![]() Today we welcome a guest forker, Tara. Tara, like me, is a self-proclaimed foodie. She’s been following Fork You for a while now and when she found out that the “cast” had dwindled to just me, she volunteered to help out. If all goes well, you may see more forks from Tara in the future.

I remember the Quarrier Diner only as far back as the early 1990′s when I got my first “grown up job” in downtown Charleston. Back then, before my employer relocated to the east end, my co-workers and I made it a habit to regularly visit... Read more... |

For months after its target date of May of this year to open, I kept checking every time I drove by the old Shoney’s in Teays Valley to see if the new Fat Patty’s was open. Then finally one day in August, YES! It was finally open and it was packed! Every time since then that I’ve driven by, it’s been the same way, packed! And it appeared that way the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I got a half a day off of work that day and my husband was off too so we decided to see if it was worth... Read more... |

You know those little hometown restaurants like you see on tv where the owners and waitresses know all the customers and they chat about family, the farm, etc.? Tammy’s Country Kitchen is just like that. It’s not unusual to hear, “Hey, Earl. How’s Betty?” or “How’s the grandbaby?” or a laugh being shared as you are sitting there having your meal. You get a real family feel at Tammy’s. Tammy herself is the one you’ll usually hear. She not only owns the restaurant, but she’s one of the three servers. Her daughter and her mother are the other two.... Read more... |
The West Virginia Hotdog Blog (by WVHotDogs)

The World Wakes Up 04-09-2013 In the United States, the true authority on hot dogs is the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. Like most associations these folks have to be diplomatic when it comes to judging the merits of its constituency and can't really say what they believe if it show favoritism toward any one individual constituent. But once in a while, the truth refuses to stay in the shadows. Such is the case with |

Morgantown HDJ Review - The Bear Cave 04-01-2013 Once in a while I am still surprised to find a HDJ that is really old school. Usually that means that they have a 1950s era Sunbeam bun steamer or make their slaw in an antique Norge mixer, but when I was recently introduced to this hidden away HDJ on Peacock Avenue, I was truly taken aback.
A relic from the past, The Bear Cave makes no bones about being a men-only establishment.
And they have |

Pepperoni Roll Power Play 03-19-2013 Today a bill was introduced in the West Virginia House of Delegates to make the Pepperoni Roll the official state food of West Virginia. This has caught us here at WVHotDogs.com completely by surprise and our operatives have been scrambling all afternoon to launch a counter-offensive in the war for Mountain State gastro-domination. Take this as a quick legislative alert and call to action for |

St. Albans HDJ Review - Sammy's Chili Dogs 01-19-2013 After a long hiatus, partially because of holidays and partially to give our triglycerides a chance to return to tolerable levels, our Weenie Wonks are back on the job just in time to catch a brand-spanking new HDJ in their first week of business. And while sometimes a new restaurant takes a while to get their sea legs and start putting out a quality product, we found out that this is not the |

Let's wrap this up, shall we?
After struggling to find HDJs on Charleston's West Side, I have given up trying to find lesser known contenders and just moving to the final, some might say, marquee pairing The Smokehouse vs. The Grill.
Since it's been so long since we reviewed The Grill, here is some background:
The Grill, on Washington Street just west of the Interstate, is one of |
