I'm trying to get a hot dog in every county in North Carolina and for Greene County I had initially selected Chele's Cafe in Snow Hill. Unfortunately, when I got there they were closed.
I pivoted and reluctantly was heading to Hwy 55 Burgers and Fries when I passed the Fast Break Convenience Store that had a banner outside advertising hot dogs and burgers. I (safely) made a u-turn, parked, and headed inside. It's a typical convenience store with sundry items on the right and a large grill, counter, and hot bar on the left.
It was 10:40 and I wasn't sure if I could get lunch yet. I was aimlessly staring at the menu when the women behind the counter asks, "You want lunch?" She read my mind. I ordered the hot dog combo that came with a canned drink and 3 potato wedges.
The hot dogs here usually come with chili, onions, mustard, and ketchup. I asked for no onions and she confirmed with me no fewer than three times, "No Onions?" I appreciated that.
I took my meal out to the car and enjoyed. Everything was hot and the chili had great flavor. While it may be sacrilegious, I enjoy ketchup on my hot dog every now and then. The wedges were perfection - crispy outside and soft inside. I wish they were seasoned a bit more.
The other things on the hot bar looked awesome, especially the meatloaf and meatballs. I want to go back here! read more
