WHAT DEFINES A HOLE-INTHE-WALL EATERY? A dark, abandoned place may come to mind, but I assure you, the ones we visited for this issue are anything but! What you will find in these “hometown dives” are delicious dishes and enthusiastic, loyal patrons with a story to tell. Our journey through eastern NC was seasoned with tales of love and loss, customers with years of patronage under their belts, and a description of how Wilson is divided by a “fluffy versus flat” biscuit debate. Yes, they take this division seriously!
As an eastern NC native (born and raised) who has had countless vacations at Lauren Earley snags a quick hug from her dad, Gary Morris, at B’s Barbecue Atlantic Beach or Emerald Isle, I felt it was in Greenville. Morris met the team at the site of our photo shoot and picked up time to shed some light on these hidden his grand-dog, Bella, for a sleepover while mom was away. gems for those who have never had the pleasure of visiting (and for foodies looking for an excuse to go back)!
Some of the stops on our trip were new to me, like Flo’s Kitchen in Wilson and Bill’s Hot Dogs in Washington. Others held a special place in my heart (and stomach). B’s Barbecue was a staple when I attended ECU, and I can’t remember a vacation on the Crystal Coast without a visit to 4-Corners Diner and Big Oak Drive-In. If you’ve never been to the coast in the fall, it’s a beautiful season to go! Equally as good as the food on this trip was the company (and a night at the beach didn’t hurt). With photographer Jonathan Fredin behind the lens, writer David McCreary capturing every tale, and social media manager Arlem Mora grabbing behind-the-scenes goodness, I couldn’t have asked for a better team to travel with! We didn’t stop with the dives. This issue is packed with lots more appetizing articles, from the newly opened Colletta at Fenton, to fall soup and salad pairings with Jimmy Eskridge, owner of TasteBuds Personal Chef Services. Grab some napkins and prepare to drool!
