When I was around 9 or so I went on a road trip with my mother, grandmother, and sister. I believe it was the time we went to Savannah, Georgia. It was the second day of driving around noonish and we were thinking about getting lunch. At this point we were in southern North Carolina and for the past couple hours of driving we'd seen a number of billboards for some barbecue restaurant. So, the adults decided that's we might as well try it.

Once we actually get to the place it's a little run down and it's also obvious that it used to be a Burger King in the 90s. Upon entering the little area that old Burger Kings had before the main room it's clear that they're using it as a kind of gift shop. However, it's not a normal gift shop. It's all pro-Confederate literature and memorabilia. We really should have left at that point, but my sister (about 1 year and 10 months old at the time) was getting pretty cranky, so we went against our better judgement and went in anyway. The food ended up being awful. The meat was overcooked and dry. Additionally, the only sauces they had were mustard and a mustard-based barbecue sauce.

So it was like a Panda Express but instead of knock off Chinese talismans and stuff they had slaver merch? Ouch. Also just lol at the mustard

It was a very surreal experience. Being a naive child from the north, I had no idea people and places like that still existed.

NC mustard and vinegar based BBQ sauce is the shit though.
