    Memories

    As a kid, my Dad and I took a fishing trip every year, (this actually lasted many years). Mostly for largemouth bass, but anything that would fit in a frying pan was game. Many of those trips were to Back Bay in the Southeast corner of VA. The trip took us down US 460.

    Around 1972 a BBQ joint opened just west of Wakefield VA and my Dad stopped there. That was probably my first real Q, or at least the first I remember. They are still open, but the Cowlings sold to the current owners in '92.

    We go to the Outer Banks of NC every year, and that takes us down 460. I always get a chopped pork sandwich and onion rings. My wife gets fried chicken and veggies. And it's always great. I do love there sauce and I try to remember to buy some every year. No photos of the food, but here's the sauce:

    The only change I have noticed over the years is the sauce now comes in a plastic bottle instead of a glass bottle.

    Nice. Our weather forecasts here come from the Wakefield NWS and that also caught my attention.

      Ours too. We pass it every time we make the drive.

      I think memories around food are even more about the relationships and experiences around the meal than they are about the food. I’ll bet your Dad is a special person.

        You are correct Sir. The annual fishin' trip started with just my Dad and I. Then my brother joined us, and then a cousin. There were eventually as many as 12 people including people coming from out of state.
        I have so many memories...
