Come to Mount Airy, NC. I work there and I'll treat you to the FAMOUS pork chop sandwich at Snappy Lunch, of "The Andy Griffith Show" fame. This is where he grew up.

- Because I could.
- Because they were there.
- Because I like them.
- Because we were out of lobster salad.
Or, did you mean why two instead of one?

I lived in Greensboro back in the '96-'97 timeframe and went up to Mount Airy a couple of times to look around on account of its significance to Andy Griffith. It's a neat little town. Sorry to say that I didn't know anything about any of the landmarks like Snappy Lunch, but I sure enjoyed looking in the shop windows.
I see you're from Pilot Mountain, which I assume is Mount Pilot in the show. That's where Andy and Barney used to go for their dates all the times. What was the name of the diner they frequented?

I believe it was the Bluebird. We have one by the same name in town, tourists you know. Check this out, it explains the Mt. Airy connection.http://www.radoknews.com/andy-griffith-show-part-3.html

I didn't realize you were from the capital of the Commonwealth of Virgnia, John. I'll have to give Granny Wade's a try. I haven't been to Shockoe Slip in a while. It looks like a newcomer to the area. From one of the inside pictures on the web site, it looks like the restaurant may have taken over Hana Zushi.

No, Travis, I generally don't take pictures of my food before I devour it. At this point, x-rays would be required and, I'm afraid, they would not be suitable for posting here.

I don't know what the guidelines are. Is that enough people to start our own Bubbasville of the Confederacy?

Bruce and I already had one penturners get together. We didn't give it a name though.

Y'all are really off-topic here. I thought we were talkin' 'bout Pork chops and Andy of Mayberry. Mmmm, pork chops.
LOML & I visited Mt Airy once coming back from my BIL's place. Gorgeous little town.

Naaa. If I mentioned Don Knots appearances on The Ed Sullavan Show that might be off topic. Alternatives to two pork chop sandwiches is probably ok.

This is off topic of pork chop sandwiches, but on topic of Mt. Airy... if any of you remember Cliff Arquette, he often referred to Mt. Airy as his home town as well.
