  1. In response to earlier post looking for good restaurants I'd go with any on the list above, plus add Margaux's in Raleigh. Those should keep you occupied for a while.
  2. I haven't tried Stax yet - tho I am a recovering Pringles addict (i once was sent 37 cans for my -- you guessed it -- 37th birthday). In retrospect, that may be why I don't eat them anymore.... Anyway, as regards flammability, potato chips are extremely flammable. I read a book recently about the worst serial arsonist in history -- a fireman in California who set something like 400 fires over 15 years -- and one of his favorite spots to start fires was under potato chip racks (the open, wire kind). Once a bag at the bottom burned open, the whole rack would go up like gasoline. Makes sense - the potato chip is basically a starch matrix with many of the spaces filled with very flammable oil. Get any grain or spud dry enough, and it will burn just fine w/o oil -- add the oil, and stand back... Great posts!
  3. I haven't (yet) tried this with sweet potatoes, but I've made it with butternut squash that's been baked and cubed -- simply toss the squash or sweet potato cubes with cubed, smoked pork chops. Saute just long enough to heat through, then drizzle with brown sage butter. It's outstanding w/butternut squash, and I will bet a paycheck it's even better w/sweet potatoes. . . I'll try it this week and let y'all know.
  4. Craig's Barbecue, right on Rt. 40 in Brinkley (I think) Arkansas -- it's actually out in the country a ways, not that close to a town. It's been a while since i was there, but I found it (literally) by following my nose to the source of the hickory smoke. Tiny place, you'll probably share a table, but excellent 'cue and interesting sauce that contains apples..Look across the road for a small wooden sign - there used to be a woman who sold fried pies out of a converted chicken coop. Outstanding!
