Pork Chop Sandwich

North Carolina has so much to offer.  The mountains, the beaches, and of course the famed Pork Chop Sandwich.  After living in the Piedmont for two years, I finally visited Mt. Airy to see Mayberry in person. 

Jennifer Sposato (my friend and FOX 8 producer) and I walked along Main street, window-shopped and toured the museum. Our final destination was The Snappy Lunch. 

What a great experience!  The restaurant's staff couldn't have been nicer and the pork chop sandwich did not disappoint.  It was huge!  The thick piece of tender pork is battered and fried and comes with chili, cole slaw, mustard, onion and tomato.. all for just $3.75.  Yummy!  Jen and I ate the whole thing.  If you never have tried one of these famous sandwiches, please take a trip to Andy Griffith's hometown.  You will get to meet Junior, the master at frying the pork, Charles Dowell, the owner and originator of the pork chop sandwich, and Mr. Dowell's lovely and hospitable wife, Mary.  Here are some photos I took of that special day!

Julie,

Well I am glad you came to Snappy Lunch. There is nothing like it. Also you were only a mile or so outside of the big Town of Toast NC. The FRF visits Snappy Lunch from time to time to have lunch. Hopefully you can come back during Mayberry Days or the Autumn Leaves Festival and sample some more of the Food.

Take Care

PLEASE DON'T THINK THAT I AM A DIRTY OLD MAN OR LUSTING. I AM NOT! I JUST TELL IT LIKE IT IS, YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. YOU REMIND ME OF A LITTLE BARBIE DOLL. BY THE WAY, I SAW YOU ONE CHRISTMAS ON TV WHERE YOU WERE AT THE CHRISTMAS CAN DRIVE AT THE COLISEUM, YOU WERE WEARING BLACK, AND I THINK THAT IS YOUR COLOR, YOU LOOKED GORGEOUS.

I ALSO LOVE EMILY BYRD.

umm what? I was referring to Julie and the picture of the big pork chop sandwich. Relax and pray more, you'll live longer.

Then why didn't you say so? Thanks for the advise that I need to pray more, we all do.
When you are playing the drums in Church and listening to punk rock and country music. maybe you should do the same.

Hey Rocker, what is the new age Christian rock? Please inform me as to what it is. Is it part of the new age movemnet that Oprah Windrey is into. From what I hear about it, it is the beat of the music and not the lyrics of the song, since it us uaually screamed so loud that you can't understand the words.

I didn't even know we were in a new age. What is the New Age? Maybe you should post this on the Faith blog, since this has nothing to do with Julie Luck. Please let me know.

Thanks

Wow that sandwich looks so yummy! Oh yeah...Julie I saw you on TJ Maxx Sunday February 17. I was in the middle of working and wanted to talk to you and tell you how much I envy you as anchor for FOX8. But, I was in the middle of working :( not sure if you remember seeing me I was the guy that had the striped hoody on at the service desk. Anyway thanks for making FOX8 a great news channel. :D

I am "lucky" to work with the most respected names in television news in the Piedmont, such as veterans Neill McNeill, Van Denton and Rich Brenner. As co-anchor of the FOX 8 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00 Newscasts, our job is to inform you with the news you need to know and what interests you most. Many of our stories come from your ideas. We are here to help so I encourage you to give your feedback. Setting the formalities aside, I'm originally from "The O.C." in California. After working as Anchor/Reporter in five TV stations across the country in the past decade, it's relieving to settle in the beautiful and lush North Carolina. If I'm not exploring the area, you can find me trying new restaurants or jogging with my barky, but loveable dog. During my downtime, I continue to search for a remedy to de-frizz my hair caused by the humidity, shop for television clothes that are not my favorite basic (but boring) black, and decide whether or not to wear my glasses.
