PieQuest 2006: Day 5, part 2 (the final for now)

[mckenzee]

On the final night of our trip, we managed to get lost in Charleston, WV. See, we knew the restaurant was on MacCorkle Rd, just off the highway. What we didn’t know was that MacCorkle Rd has about a dozen exits off the highway. We took the first one we came to, about 17 miles short of our goal.

After about an hour of wandering, backtracking, arguing, and asking directions of teenaged gas station attendants, we found an old guy in overalls who knew exactly where the Southern Kitchen was located.

The parking lot was abandoned, but as soon as we walked into this little diner filled with chicken figurines, we knew it was worth the trip.

The Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie was good, though not the best version we had. In a slight divergence, we had Apple Dumplings as our second choice (declaring it an honorary pie). It was a bit off, but I think it may have been a temporary aberration. It was very late, after all.

But, the atmosphere... ah, that made it all worth while.

And so concludes PieQuest 2006. There will be a PieQuest 2007, rest assured.
