Last weekend, our good friend Kerry came to visit us in NC for the first time. He's a west coaster, former classmate of my husband's, groomsman in our wedding and all around great guy. I do believe this was his first trip to NC, so I thought we'd show him what it's all about. In a relatively short span of time (o.k., I admit, it was only about 24 hours), we introduced him to:
2. Hush puppies
3. Shrimp and grits (Crook's, of course)
4. my homemade biscuit cinnamon rolls
5. Five Guys Burgers
6. Locopops
in addition to mountain biking, a tour of the oldest public university in the US, and a little more college basketball than he's used to.

Of course, I didn't immediately come to know all these things upon my arrival in NC 12 years ago, but I'm much more well versed now on the culinary pleasures of living in this state. For that, I have some great NC friends to thank, some native, some not.
Anyone else want to come visit?
