In nearby Alleghany County in the tiny town of Laurel Springs, there's a place called Freeborne's Eatery and Lodge that sits just off the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 248. It's the site of a renovated 1950's motor lodge, restaurant, and lounge. These days, it's a mecca for motorcyclists traveling on the Parkway.
Do you recall the Postcards I sent out a while back that were inspired by a list of the 100 foods you should eat from our 100 counties here in NC? It was featured in Our State magazine? It's been a long time since I've sought out any of those establishments, but this past Saturday that's where Becky and I went to eat lunch along with T@Bbin' buddies Rich and Sue.

Even without being featured in the magazine's list, you just know it's a good and popular place to eat when you drive up and see rows and rows of Harleys, Hondas, and BMW's! The featured item is called Appalachian Chicken, but when we got out of the car and smelled Angus burgers on the grill, I knew we would get getting beef rather than chicken. Every single one of us got a big juicy burger! I ordered the Pimiento Cheese Burger with thick slices of onion, a hearty dollop of pimiento cheese, and nothing else. Yumm-O! Bec gave me a couple of her onion rings and they were delish too. By the time we left, the place was packed inside with bikers and outside with their rides. Across the street was a tiny building with a sign that we got quite a kick out of. We had fun theorizing what it was all about. Stop back by here tomorrow and I'll share our walk around Wild Woody's after lunch . . . equally as fun and interesting. Ta ta on this Monday.
