Erik and I left for the SLC airport around 9:30 am. It didn’t take too long to get through security, and after we did, we stopped at F&E in the food court and got some pasties and a box of 6 macarons. The pasties were good but boiling lava hot for my mouth. The macarons were really good; we ate two right there and finished the rest on the plane.
The plane ride went smoothly, and it was nice to have those screens to help pass the time, which was about four hours. We rented a white Ford car and drove it to our Hampton Inn hotel just outside Charlotte, NC. For dinner, we stopped at Midwood Smokehouse. Erik ordered the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans as a side, and I ordered the burnt ends with smoked jalapeño poppers and hush puppies as a side. The food was really yummy, and we finished it all, since the portions weren’t too large. For dessert we had banana pudding. It tasted like banana pie; it was just ok for me since I’m not a huge fan of banana cream pie. It was also really sweet.

We ate a little bit of breakfast in the hotel lobby. Then we packed up and checked out of the hotel, only to drive to eat yet again. The drive to Asheville was 2.5 hours though, so it gave us some time to digest. We stopped at Biscuit Head for lunch. We weren’t too hungry, so we shared a biscuit with fried chicken, bacon, and a scrambled egg on top, all smothered in a pimento cheese gravy. It was called the Filthy Animal. I thought it was pretty yummy. We also ordered donut holes with lemon curd. There were lots of different jams to try too; we tried peach-rosemary, sour cherry, and mango chili. All were delicious, except the mango chili didn’t go well with anything. We bought a jar of the peach-rosemary jam. We tried to buy a bottle of the banana-buffalo hot sauce, but it needed refrigeration. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to keep it cold with all of the driving we did, so we didn’t buy the hot sauce.
It looks like lots of different food at a few places.
