Not in North Carolina yet, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a detour into Germany for a delicious lunch of jaegerschnitzel with red cabbage and spaetzle at this little mom-and-pop restaurant. And no passport required either!This is a blog of my five-week exploration of culinary experiences in North Carolina. Baaswell Sheep is accompanying me and offering his own commentary on the trip, although he refuses to go into any place that serves lamb chops.

Crossing into South Carolina, I checked out the Chatooga River right at the state border. The weather has been nice so far, but I hear its going to reach 100 degrees next week. I may need to get my wool trimmed before then!
Came across this gastronomic delight, but it might be a bit too big for me to eat. I call it the Big Peach, but the street sign refers to it as the "peachoid", whatever the heck that means! (Explanation for those unaware: Gaffney is home to a water tower that was stylized as a giant peach more than forty years ago. The "big peach" or "peachoid" is readily visible from I-85.)
Finally made it into North Carolina. This isn't exactly high cuisine, but Bojangles was founded right here in Charlotte, North Carolina back in 1977, and I do like Cajun food, so I'm happy to have dinner here. My companion had the two-piece dinner with dirty rice and I had his cole slaw.
