Success. Thanks for all the support team

Village Cafe

Following another recommendation from HQ in Arlington (Thanks Sarah) we hit up the village cafe. And it was the bomb. Dot Com. We got country fried steak and fish and chips. And now I can't take deep breaths I'm so full. And were on the road for the final stretch......

Within Striking Distance.

So we've arrived at the village cafe in Richmond. Only about a hundred miles out of DC.......I can smell that MD air

Q-shack

Made it to the Q-Shack. Made sure to give Dukes campus a hearty and well-deserved middle finger on the way

Brilliant start

Started the day with precision timing.....hit the road at 10 am just as planned. Were headed for the Q-shack, as per Sarah's rec. And after all, this is the Q-trip. The only problem: its knee-deep in dookie territory. If only Sam had sent me some MD gear I'd rock it so hard right now. Even if it got my food spat in. So on to Durham. ETA 1230......precisely as we planned

These are all words that can be used to describe BBQ King in Charlotte, NC. We could use none of them, however, as we spent the entire time at BBQ King with our mouth's stuffed. We tried to take another bite to be heard better, but it was no help. So I'll just borrow a catch phrase that I now realize has been used as a misnomer up to this point: The happiest place on Earth.


The BBQ King has successfully created one of the best experiences ever. We drive up to the menu to order our food from the comfort of the Q. So, from our command center where we have shared some of the best and some of the worst of times, we braced our selves for the most anticipated stop of the trip. BBQ King surpassed all our wildest dreams and expectations. The food was the best, and it was brought right to our car!

Moment of terror

So, preparing for our highly anticipated dinner in Charrlotte, we did a last minute check of BBQ King's website. which, in bold letters at the bottom of the page read,"closed monday & tuesday" this was the most devestating news imaginable. i encouraged dan to call and confirm this misfortune. after a tense, fear/crisis mode, dan relieved me of my agony to inform me that the news was infact false. so, here i sit with maybe the best meal ive ever seen right infront of me. thank you to all who were invloved.
