Happiness Bomb is aptly named. The peanuts are delicious, the sweet tea is on point and the people…read moreare so friendly! They definitely make me happy! Stopped by to visit them during Soda City's Winter Fest. They had 3 different sized bags of peanuts, sweet tea and a hot chocolate bar. I grabbed a medium bag of peanuts so I could share with some friends and a sweet tea. The peanuts were near perfection. Just the right amount of salt and every peanut was edible. Sometimes you get those rogue nasty peanuts when they are tiny or they've been boiled too long etc. but these were all great! Not a bad one in the bunch. The sweet tea was also perfectly sweetened and I added some fresh mint from the hot chocolate bar to special it up a bit. The hot chocolate bar looked impressive with at least 8 different add ins/toppings/mixers and there were also some impressive looking candy apples coated with a variety of sinful toppings. I didn't partake of those that day and I'm afraid that is a regret that I deal with on a daily basis... until next time, Happiness Bomb!

This place was an absolute must try after seeing it pop up in my feeds. I checked the website and…read moreit showed they were closing in an hour. I called and tried to place a Togo order and they do not allow for that. They did say though that they keep serving customers even if it's past closing. So took the drive to the other side of Columbia and it was very much worthwhile. They sell out of things and so if things are cross off the menu, then you should have went earlier. I missed out on the smoked links. It was pretty quiet for a Sunday afternoon and there were not that other many people in the dining area. Hopefully, that's just because it's a Sunday in South Carolina. The burnt ends, wings, wings, collards, beans, corn bread and rich with hash we're all stand outs. The staff was very friendly and helped make this place a gem that I'll highly recommend.

I caught up with Island Noodles for the Candler Park Neighborhood Festival. The smell is what drew…read moreme in, plus the ritual of eating from an open "to go" container with chopsticks. They have a huge wok of cooked noodles and vegetables, which were carefully scooped into the container and then topped with chicken (they do the chicken separately to accomodate the vegetarians) and handed over. The flavor was good, but many of the veggies were still quite hard and uncooked. Broccoli and snap peas in particular.

PUT SOME SOUTH IN YO MOUF!!!!…read more That's not the slogan for The Peanut Stand but I sure was singing it as I happily peeled off the gravel road surrounding this Manning, SC local business located right on a country road corner intersection. I had a hankering for boiled peanuts so my cousin directed me to this place that I had to write down old school directions for (go down past the church, make a right, another right, then a left and if you see the farm you went too far). This small family business has been around for quite some time and the woman I spoke with was more than happy to tell me about her family's business although she was leery of me taking photos because apparently there was some legal issues going on between family members (yikes). Anyway, what a lovely place! It's literally just a step above a shack but filled with home grown and/or local treats. The boiled peanuts were delicious and at only about $3 for a bag, more than worth the price! If you haven't had boiled peanuts, please add a trip to the South for a bag to your bucket list. Feel free to put it before the trip to the Himalayas and bungee jumping. The store is open seasonally so they won't be open till May but the next time I'm down in Manning, they will be seeing my face for sure! They also have a Facebook page that's updated with store news and special hours so be sure to take a glance and/or call them before you venture out.

My husband and I got the brisket dinner. Both of our plates were filled with so much food. I had to save some for later. My 10 year old son ordered the So Cal sliders, but when I got home with the food, I noticed he ended up with the Southern sliders. By the time I got home, it was too late to turn around and let them know we had the wrong order. My son liked the Southern sliders, but he still should have got what he ordered. It wasn't the cook's fault either because it said Southern sliders on the receipt. The girl taking my order most likely didn't hear me. Other than that little mishap, everyone was pleased! I am definitely willing to try this place out again.
