Cowbell Burger & SIP – Charlotte

July 24, 2021 by chito

I arrived in Charlotte transporting a FEDEX trailer enroute to Atlanta. The Pilot Truck stop, albeit small, is only a short uber ride to downtown. Since I got in late, I was glad to find a pub that was open late. Cowbell Burger and Whiskey Bar - it was like walking into a time warp. The decor is 60s-80s. The Cowbell was rocking that night with awesome 80s hair band videos … [Read more...] about Cowbell Burger & SIP – Charlotte

Saigon Bistro – Fayetteville

February 28, 2021 by chito

Probably the best place for pho in Fayetteville is Saigon Bistro. The soup base is amazing and the Banh Mi are amazing, too. Started with the wonton appetizer - the sweet sauce gave it a nice flavor. For my entree, I ordered the pork Banh Mi - it certainly was fresh and amazing. Will stop here again on my way to and fro, DC … [Read more...] about Saigon Bistro – Fayetteville

South End’s Upbeat Gin Mill

October 7, 2020 by chito

Due to revitalization and a huge influx of millennials, Charlotte's South End is no longer your father's neighborhood. The younger, trendy crowd are looking for a good mix of bars, clubs and restaurants, only a short ride on the light rail or a quick hop on the scooter from the throbbing heartbeat of the city. The Gin Mill is one of these places that have transformed to reflect … [Read more...] about South End’s Upbeat Gin Mill

Fire Chicken or Fried Tilapia

February 12, 2020 by chito

Amber and I visited the Seoul Food Meat Company.The interior was stylish and relaxing with rope lights hanging from the ceiling. The place is popular with Panthers fans as well as Georgia Bulldogs and it's located adjacent to Let's Meat Kbbg (where I went yesterday and gorged myself near to bursting with pork belly, butt and pork tongue). Wonder what happens when the Falcons … [Read more...] about Fire Chicken or Fried Tilapia

Gastonia Gossip

November 16, 2019 by chito

I needed to reach six - 6 hours on the road a day for the next four - and I would be in Kingsville right after Veterans' Day. Darkness had set in, and I would need to find a spot to sojurn. Worst thing that can happen is be stuck out in the interstate with no place to park except for the ramps at the highway exits. Truckers park there when there are no spots available at … [Read more...] about Gastonia Gossip

Towed Away in Charlotte

August 10, 2019 by chito

I was pondering over a load from Atkins, VA to Chicago or to New England. There was nothing coming out of Charlotte. But Atkins, a three-hour drive away and in the Mountains had plenty of new trailers getting shipped all across the US. As I was walking I noticed an advertisement for "Band's Visit". Unbeknownst to me, I was walking right by the Knight's Theater and the show … [Read more...] about Towed Away in Charlotte

After I retired from the Navy, I attended George Washington University to earn my MBA. I left with a diploma, and with a food tech startup called RUNINOut. Our goal was to add as many restaurants, stores and attractions to the directory and after running it for five years, I felt I had oversaturated the local Washington, DC market. It was time to take RUNINOut on the road. In order for my startup to grow, I had to add more restaurants – that meant getting outside the Beltway and exploring the highways and byways in small town suburbia. I bought a truck and drove cross-country for two years. Here's my adventures in the Washington, DC area and beyond.
