I don't have any pics from the day, so I guess the ride didn't happen. Hope everybody made it home safely!

11-3-17461 miles of wet roads for me. I added some gravel just for good measure. The lunch entertainment was one of those events not to miss!

Re: 11-3-17Yep it really happened, but I also took no pics. Thought I saw someone with their phone...?
We (Scott/Lee/Richard/me) took I-26 south from Erwin after lunch since it was trying to spit more raindrops and 19E would have been damp for sure. Then we exited I-26 at Laurel Valley when the sun came out and headed east to NC80 and then down 80 to Marion--80 was mostly dry, fun zip. Lee and Richard departed for home after 80, and then Scott and I slabbed it to Morganton and gave Old 18 one last fling. The rain tried to thwart us but to no avail. Oh, we can cross another eating establishment off our list. Hawg n Dawg must be on its last legs; similar incident to the last visit but worse--can't seem to handle making a few hot dogs and then the clueless owner (once again) came over to let us know it was all our fault. Lee did a great job of splaining to him how things work. ![]() We are determined to not be a thorn in his side ever again. ![]() Bob
Re: 11-3-17Update--copy/paste from yelp/zomato re Hawg n Dawg-->>
"Food is good but the service is horrible the staff try to be friendly but the owner is just hateful I would recommend eating there but only if you get your order to go ." "Rude owner, negativity everywhere and the food is not up to par, the menu is so scattered that they have to many choices... make less choices with great food. And the owner needs a lesson in customer service" "Food is fine. However, I have friends living in the town, and they have told me numerous times, that the owner is quite rude. I recently asked a few other people, and heard the same response. Too bad. I won't be back." Bob
Re: 11-3-17There's a Bubba's Good Eats in Unicoi in addition to the one in Burnsville. The latter has great BBQ but have not been to the one in Unicoi.
Re: 11-3-17I was shocked by the staff and owner at HawgNDawg...1st they totally screw up the order...next they wander off without telling us what they're going to do about it...and when we ask what's going on they gang up to tell us it's all our fault. Unbelievable!
Nice ride considering we had to dodge rain. I didn't pay much attention to it but don't recall the forecast being that iffy.
Re: 11-3-17
The forecast sucked, too (there was zero rain in it, but that seemed to be about all it did). I'll blame you for that, too, Lee lol. If the server had questions, she should have clarified orders after we finished and verified the orders were correct bringing food to the table. On the other hand, you guys ramped up the crotchety faster than I expected. Bunch of crazy bikers. ![]()
Re: 11-3-17
I don't think you were at the previous visit when this same shit happened. If you were, I think you would have ramped it up too lol. We weren't really pissed at the wait staff, they seemed 'green' and nervous--probably from working for that asshole. It was his attitude that "we" were the real problem, and that was the same crap he pulled last time (it took them 25 minutes to produce hotdogs that time). But we gave him a pass that time and chalked it up to whatever. When he started the same crap all over again, pass revoked. FYI, here's that previous thread-->> http://cofsta.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=964 Bob
Re: 11-3-17It did seem interesting the orders for Lee and Bob were the ones that got messed up and the owner seemed to have an unusual smile on his face considering you guys were pretty aggravated. The server did seem terrified and lost. Maybe the owner remembered the last time and wanted to pick a fight? I'm not sure if the dogs actually tasted like crap or just the sour taste in my mouth from the interaction, but I probably won't be back there. Remind me not to get into an butt kicking contest with you guys.
Re: 11-3-17
Nah, we were there May 17 for lunch and I remember shooting the shit with him at check out. He's always been kind of a smart ass but then so is Lee, Brick, etc. LOL. And ME. ![]() He just got an attitude with 2 hungry dudes this time. ![]() Probably try that Bubba's up there next time. HawgDawg food was always barely mediocre, it had become a destination because the ride was fun. Not for the food. Bob
Re: 11-3-17
Wish I was there watching that entertainment...I might have even joined in for good measure. ![]() But no...had to watch a son get married in Orlando in a Rat wedding. Still here...get me back to the Carolinas! ![]()
Re: 11-3-17Meh, ate there once. Was not impressed. It’s a shame the BBQ place down by the river rafting closed. That place has great food. Dennis could cool and do metal work.
