Triple B Eatery is a food truck in the Kanawha Valley with the slogan "grilled cheese to die for." I was willing to test that theory when they set up recently at George Washington High School. Their menu features some traditional grilled cheese sandwiches, plus some additional items, like a monte cristo and a hot bologna.

The smashed pepperoni roll caught my eye because it's taking West Virginia's greatest delicacy – the pepperoni roll – and making it into a grilled cheese. Two homemade pepperoni rolls are griddled with garlic butter so they are lightly crispy, and then they are sandwiched together with mozzarella cheese in the middle. I thought I had tried every variation of a pepperoni roll, but this was new to me. And absolutely delicious. It's the melted cheese, the crispy, buttery dough, and the hint of spice with the pepperoni altogether that makes this over the top. Grade: A

I visited Stellar Noodle Co. in their final days open in Huntington.



The turquoise shaded building was only one of a few ramen shops in the area, so I wanted to be sure to check it out.



I ordered the Tonkotsu - Char Siu Pork. Traditional Pork Bone Broth. Ramen. Carrot. Bean Sprout. Cabbage. Ajitsuke Egg. Fish Cake. Nori. Scallion. My favorite part of this was the egg because it had so much flavor. I wish the noodles were a bit softer and absorbed some of that broth.



I also had the belly bao - which had those nice pillowy buns and thick pieces of pork belly. Decent pork flavor. I appreciated the fresh cabbage and sauce on top.

The brainchild of James Beard award-winning chef John Currence, Big Bad Breakfast gives the proper respect to “the most important meal of the day” in Louisville, Kentucky.

They're known for their custom-created meats, fresh biscuits and preserves, locally roasted coffee and cocktails.

"We wear our 'Big Bad' name as a badge of honor and take special pride in serving all your Southern favorites with the creativity and technique that only a skilled, world-renowned chef can bring to the table," reads the website. I ordered the Jack Benny - sliced ham topped with crispy hash cake, wilted spinach, two poached eggs and hollandaise. Served with your choice of side (in my case, fruit). While I am not the biggest egg fan, I do enjoy me some eggs benedict. I especially love a little twist on it, like this crispy potato cake, which adds some nice texture. The side of fruit was key here though to bring out some balance of sweetness. That sort of unctuous hollandaise and yolk or satisfying. Grade: A

Bankers Corner Coffee Shop is a small, local restaurant that serve specialty coffees, pastries, and a full breakfast and lunch menu.



Located in Sistersville, this coffee shop is in a historic space: the former Union National Bank.



The space is warm and inviting, and the case at the counter was full of tempting treats.



You know how some people enjoy breakfast for dinner? I am the opposite. I would like to have dinner at breakfast time. I enjoy dinner foods more so than breakfast foods. So when given the option, I darted to the lunch menu, even if it was a little bit early in the day.



Nonetheless, I ordered the grilled meatloaf sandwich. Honestly, if this is on any menu, I'm probably ordering it. Meatloaf reminds me of home, and it is comfort food to me.



The meatloaf sandwich was like a grilled cheese with a thin slice of meatloaf in the middle. I actually think this construction was pretty neat. My only suggestion would be to have a nice tomato-based sauce to dip it in.



My hot chocolate was delicious. Truly tasted homemade. Simple and sweet.

Elk City Bistro is like a mix between a pop-up kitchen and a brick-and-mortar restaurant. While they do have a physical space on the West Side, their hours are primarily lunchtime specific, and the menu changes up weekly.



That schedule can be a bit difficult for those of us who work traditional business hours, but I made my way over there recently to check things out. I ordered the sliders with with bacon cheeseburger, pulled pork and fried chicken and a side of fried. These were pretty standard, but executed well. A special sauce or unique ingredient would've made this craveable.
