Our approach to food production and food service is not value neutral. Through the creation of food, from raw ingredients to finished products, and through the giving or serving of food, we express a myriad of mores, social and cultural norms, anxieties, and personal neurosis. Though these webs of interrelated processes may be socially and personally challenging, their examination fosters community awareness and the opportunity to live, produce and consume with greater care and understanding, both socially and personally.

The Year of the Penguin

First food blog of the cross country adventure: Penguin Drive-In in Charlotte, NC.  Fan-freaking-tastic! Shock Top, Yuengling, Fat Tire and Oat Stout on tap.  Fried Pickles to end the conversation on Fried Pickles.  Sweet and salty Onion Rings.  Fried Shrimp just as it should be.  Block Burger, Southern Style (cheese, pickles, chili and onion).  Hushpuppies....Hushpuppies.  Need I say more.  I will post photos in a bit but if you want to check it out before, Guy Fieri went there in episode DV0103 "Blue Plate Specials".  (Though we found it on our own, thank you very much!)

It is so much better to find the gems on your own. I can't wait to see what other places you find.
