No, your reward in heaven is eternal life, not a donut.
Bojangles and Cheerwine! Two of the things that I really miss from NC.
《North Carolinian here》 If your ever in NC go to these food places
Britts Doughts in Carolina Beach
Circle B BBQ in Spindale NC
Gennys Family Restaurant in Chimney Rock NC
Also livermush is great just dong read the ingredients ♡
Also some places to go
Chimney Rock NC
Lake Lure NC
Carolina Beach NC
Outer Banks NC
In the fall Hendersonville NC has a really cool apple festival
We also have lots of Bacon & bourbon festivals
AND BEST OF ALL WE HAVE .........
THE CHEERWINE FESTIVAL ♡
Duuude! Can't recommend Britts enough! I know at one time, they were considered one of the top doughnuts in the country(and they only make glazed)! I'm a UNCW grad so I miss all of this stuff.... a shameless plug to throw Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn on your list!
Love that you are covering my home state 💕. And Pilot Mountain in the background! Yes, for those who may wonder this is Mount Pilot in The Andy Griffith Show. Close by to Pilot Mountain is Mount Airy, aka Mayberry.
It looks like a nipple.
I like chow chow on top of black eyed peas (if there aren't stewed tomatoes on the menu). 😋
Brian knows a few things. 👍
North Carolina is my favorite
Banana pudding milkshake (or almost any flavor) from Cookout!! You won't be disappointed. Also, Calabash style seafood...deep fried goodness. It's not good for you, but it's so dang good.
Oh Cookout milkshakes for sure! Yes, Calabash!
The first thing I think of for NC is RC Cola with salted peanuts dropped into the bottle. And a Moon Pie.
Banana moon pie ftw
Coke n pnuts are in my Mississippi Eats!
Pilot Mountain is just over your right shoulder. Such a beautiful place and thankful I can view it daily. 😍
Nailed it, Joc. Seriously. Points for the origins of *Pepsi* and *Texas Pete* but major kudos for highlighting the largest family owned pickle producer in the U.S. - *Mt. Olive!* 😀
Takes a bow... 🙇♀️
@@WoltersWorldEats Also loved the look of that charcuterie board during your craft beer footage. Mmmm, mmmm. Speaking of craft beer on every corner have you and the fam been to Asheville?
@@tosht2515 we have though it was awhile ago. There may be a vid of me handing a young Caleb back to ppl in line at Sliding Rock as the water picked up and I was swept down. 🤔might be qhy we haven't been back to that area in a hot minute. Traumatic. Jk
@@WoltersWorldEats haha. One of these days on your drive from Illinois to Atlanta you should take an easy detour to Asheville. Beautiful area. And the Biltmore (house, estate, whatever, they’ve changed names a few times recently 😡) is a very cool visit. Christmas is quite lovely.
@@tosht2515 one of Mark's colleagues from LT lives there and we owe him another visit so...yes, we need to just change our route!
Pitt country NC best pork barbecue in the world.
there used to be a krispy kreme shop that made them fresh the county next to mine and you could watch the glazed ones being made. omg when they're fresh off the conveyor belt and still warm...to die for!
*blue crabs* - For decades NC was the leading harvester of blue crabs. Love She-Crab soup and grew up on delicious soft shelled crab sandwiches.
*pork and poultry* - NC is also top 3 in hog and poultry production so great local Q and fried chicken for dang sure.
*sweet potatoes* - But here’s a surprise. NC is the country’s leading producer of sweet potatoes. So if you’re at a diner or BBQ joint and see sweet potato casserole or pie, give it a shot. 👍
Sweet potato pie is one of my favorites! Didn't know they were a NC thing! And yes, she crab soup is excellent though in my mind that's a SC GA thing.
@@WoltersWorldEats There was a long stretch where the majority of blue crabs eaten in Maryland and Virginia were from N.C. Haha. Seriously. I just read that Louisiana is currently #1 and N.C. is #2. But my goodness growing up every nice restaurant always had she-crab soup on their menu.
Was able to join my friend to go see his uncle that stays in South Carolina during Canadian winters We left Ontario And drove N.Y. to Penns Then if i remember the 64 to the 95 ..I do know we missed alot of the sites We broke down in Dunn, North Carolina Which was a simple thermostat We ate at a place that i can not name But Thank you Katie for the extra biscuit and gravy "cuz you aint touched heaven till ya'll tried it:" ..Now darn it i have to go back and try Cheerwine soda ...Jocelyn If you ever need places to see while in Ontario I have plenty that doesnt dent you're wallet/purse ..And a mom that would show you true Acadian home cooked meal ...Moose stew with toasted brioche buns...The stew is the gravy in these parts : ) And i know Much like Carolina greetings ..No hand is beerless Great video !
That's a great story and so indicative of the hospitality in NC. I may take you up on Acadian food if I ever get back up there. I wish I had made vids like this on our crazy roadtrip from Illinois to Ga to PEI to Toronto and about a million places in between. Such great food.
You know what’s better than cookout but you can’t find it everywhere in North Carolina, char Grill. If you’re ever in the Raleigh area, go to char girl it’s amazing. Especially if you’re in Raleigh proper hit up the original one at Hillsborough Street in Glenwood. Also, Raleigh severely underrated.
Love the view of Pilot Mountain in the background. Love that you left out liver mush 🎂👍🏻🎂
Liver mush, Sandra and I were just talking about nasty liver goops in their various forms yesterday. Ick.
I especially enjoyed watching the decimation of the charcuterie board in the background of the beer sampling! XOXO
It was an excellent board! I was scoopin up cheeses for a board yesterday and thought of that one you made cuz it was yummy! Xox
I have actually never heard of chowchow and I’ve lived in North Carolina all my life.
North Carolinian born and bred. Pepsi is actually not dominant in parts of North Carolina. In the Charlotte area you are a lot more likely to find restaurants that serve Coke. Once you get into the interior of North Carolina in places like Raleigh, you start to see more Pepsi. Also that’s why Bojangles serves Pepsi because Bojangles in my opinion is the North Carolina fast food institution. I’m sure I am not the only one who will defend its honor like it’s our wife or girlfriend.
I love this series you’re posting! Trying local food is one of my favorite parts of visiting anywhere, your videos are super helpful!
Thanks, obviously it's one of our favorite things too!
I don’t know if it’s in a video, but one thing NC has are fish camp restaurants. I miss having seafood available. I live in Missouri catfish it’s ok but I miss having hush puppies, flounder or perch and shrimp or scallops. We frequented Libby Hills or Mayflower all the time growing up.
Lawd, do I understand. As a child in So Arizona then on the banks of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers I ate a lot of 'it's fine catfish'. I moved to coastal Ga for college and well, there's just no going back, is there?
*chow chow* - Most people call it a relish. I like a spoonful on collards.
I've never had it on collards but I bet it would be good!
Chow chow is in a category all it’s own really. So good alongside a plate of Pinto Beans and a slice of corn bread. Yum!! 😋
Soft shell crab is a delicacy.
Most definitely!
Making me hungry! I love the food in the Carolinas.
It is super tasty!
Born in NC, live in Ohio most of my life. Local grocery store chain carries MT. Olive pickle products, that's all we buy. I make my own barbecue, order my sauce from Goldboro NC. Love it.
I love that you order your sauce from NC. That's really cool.
Chris Workman, Wilburs?
Great video! Terry and I were just discussing yesterday when we can get to that part of the country for another supply of Cheerwine. It's also been way too long since we've had cookout
Did you recognize that trunk? :)
@@woltersworld I'd know that trunk anywhere!
Time for a trip?
@@WoltersWorldEats someday! So many other trips to do, and I've kind of given up soda anyway.
@Simply Jocelyn, if you like Krispy Kreme donuts, you’ll LOVE Britt’s Donuts in Carolina Beach. You must try them. :)
Next time we are that way, we will. Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏻
I absolutley love Britts Donuts in Carolina Beach . They're just so good! ♡
Bisquits and gravy are especially delicious in North Carolina. My wife lived and worked in North Carolina for 15 years. Any type of milkshake is great. Great memories there. Thank you for showcasing the great foods of NC. Be Well my friend. Harriet and Jim Richmond, Va.
That's cool!
I live in North Carolina
A couple of favorites you forgot.
1. Sundrop...it's a lemon lime soda similar to Mt Dew or Mellow Yellow. And like Cheerwine, we use it in lots of recipes.
2. Red or BBQ slaw. Actually in NC we have 2 BBQ types. Both are pit cooked but up in the mountain area its more of a sweet thick sauce. But if you are eating eastern/ Lexington BBQ (which is the the best BBQ on planet earth) which is vinegar based, then it is often served with red slaw which uses either BBQ sauce or ketchup as it's base rather than mayo. And it's almost exclusive to the mid part of the state. I'm a NC native who now resides in Greenville SC so just a little over an hour over the border. Due to the proximity to NC you will find most BBQ joints here serve vinegar based BBQ even though SC is known more for a highly incorrect mustard based sauce. But it's hard to find red slaw around these parts.
3. NC wine. Right where you are is the heart of the NC wine country. And there in pilot mountain you can rent these incredible old tobacco barns that have been converted to awesome bnbs. Anyhoo..in NC they use a muscdine grape which gives it a different flavor. The largest winery in the country is at the Biltmore estate in Ashville.
But great job on highlighting my home state. She is truly beautiful and everyone should pay her a visit. And lord I always forget not every one has access to Bojangles or Cook Out. Bless your hearts.
Yes, we need blessing for lack of Bojangles and CookOut😆 seriously, we miss them! Sundrop was actually invented in Missouri so it will be on the Mo Eats vid. So glad to have locals weigh in, adding to the list! It's nearly impossible to get everything in 1 vid. Thank you 😊
@@WoltersWorldEats ..I did not know my beloved Sundrop was not southern. I may loose my southern and NC card!!
@@sburris65 does it help that Mizzou is in the SEC? 😆😆🤣 I know it doesn't!
@@WoltersWorldEats ...I am from the south but I do not follow college sports. I don't even follow my own college!!! Unusual I know.
@@sburris65 um, that endangers your Southern card more than mistaking Sundrop for a Southern soda. 🤣 Go Dawgs!
Great overview!! NC has a divided vote on tomato-based and vinegar based bbq sauce (Eastern is vinegar). They also generally cook whole hogs in eastern NC bbq places.
One thing about Cookout that is awesome is there are so many flavors of milkshakes, some seasonal. You can upgrade a big double platter to include a milkshake for only $1!
Around Raleigh a few more popular local fast food chains worth checking out are Char Grill and Snoopy's Hot Dogs.
My husband also has a hard and fast rule to never eat BBQ on Sundays. Most of the best places are not open on Sundays due to it being a church-going day. That, and if you don't see a pile of wood outside or smell smoke outside, don't go in. :D
You were near us! Next time give us a ping and we will show you some hidden treasures! Enjoyed the video.
Thank you!
I love how you slip into your Southern accent when you get really excited about the food.
😆 Mark teases me about that a lot. It happens now and then.
It’s funny that you mention duck donuts, I’m from Pennsylvania and we love duck donuts that are here, but for a while we had a second location of the duck deli here in Pennsylvania also, and they are the hands-down best hush puppies I’ve ever had so if you’re near the Outer Banks go to duck deli and try the hush puppies!
Ok, you got me curious. I knew Duck Donuts had become a chain but I didn't know it was so big. 215 locations in 24 states with int'l site pending??!!! Will get hushpuppies at the Deli next time 👍
My favorite is to put the coleslaw on my BBQ sandwich don't much care for the fried food except the shrimp but yum yum yum always enjoy Southern food
Slaw on bbq is a treat! Cool and hot, crunchy and tangy.
The best fast food biscuit place is in metro Atlanta. Martin's. You have to try it next time you're in town! It'll blow bojangles out of the running for best biscuit
If only they were in Hartsfield Jackson!! Because that's where I am most often in Atlanta...like this morning 👍🏼
North Carolina had my second favorite ribs
I had cheerwine the firrst time. It tastes a lot like dr pepper. YAY for pepsi! LOL and sweet tea is amazing!
Krispy Kreme is not in New England. They tried to come up here, opened 3 stores in Massachusetts, but couldn`t take over Dunkin`s territory. All 3 closed in a year. I love Dunkin`s coffee, but not their donuts, I prefer local made donuts.
Carolina man here. "Liver mush" is another great thing from here. Might not find it in a restaurant though.
I say liver mush is something you got to try - to avoid at any cost 🤠🤠🤠
@@wncjan nah. Its good. Fired in a pan with a little mustard.
@@regan.8077 No way. Tried itva couple of times and it didn't improve. Last time it was even made by The Queen of Liver Mush Monday ☹
@@wncjan its not for everybody thats for sure.
@@regan.8077 Especially not for those of us who are not that fond of liver.
this must be real common cause i swear i seen all that footage on a different video .
Jocelyn how could you do this to me! I'm living in the country, not the state, of Georgia... And there are NO Krispy Kremes for thousands of miles. Though we do have Dunkin'. But I'm just hungry now. I think I'll make biscuits for breakfast tomorrow.
😆 ueah, dunkin isn't quite kk. Enjoy your biscuits!!
Originally from Virginia, currently live in NC. I would say anything blue crab (she crab soup, softshell crab) is a mid Atlantic thing (Virginia and Maryland). I would add, try an NC winery for fun, and definitely get fried chicken!
Apparently, NC is 2nd in blue crab production in the US.
Ribs and Wings are not part of NC BBQ
All great stuff except Pepsi which is of the devil. Speaking of the devil, that's my deviled egg plate! Do I get royalties? I accept payment in chow chow...
I got you some Carolina Grits at Forsyth this morning as payment 😘
Ok...I have to completely disagree with Krispy Kreme. Trust me when I say, it's in my DNA...KK is at the bottom. Kwik Trip in Wisconsin has some of the best hands down! Yes, I know this is a video about North Carolina, but there's a reason Krispy Kreme hasn't much lasted around here.
Also, if you're a hot sauce fanatic, try Gator Hammock. I first had that in Florida with some Oysters. This stuff is absolutely killer hot sauce and yes, you can find it on Amazon.
What does Cheerwine actually taste like? I have this Dr. Pepper vibe from the name, but I am intrigued.
Kwik Trip as in the gas station??? 🤦♀️ Obi-Shawn. If that's the case you should see a doc because your tastebuds are broken. 😉 tbh I don't eat donuts almost ever but KK is the one place I will always grab a donut (with the hot now sign on). Though Duck donuts are pretty interesting too.
@@WoltersWorldEats Yup...THAT Kwik Trip. They've got great corn dogs...though I wouldn't suggest one if you're not within 23 minutes of a bathroom. Just try one of their blueberry dunkers and tell me you're not hooked! I am intrigued by the Duck Donuts, however.
@@Luv2tickt when you tell me I must be within 23min of a restroom to eat something...well, that's not a very convincing sales pitch.🤣🤣🤣 maybe Mark will get a blueberry dunker and I'll have a bite.
