Our next place was supposed to be a BBQ place called Allen and Son’s, but they were closed (not sure why) so we ended up at…

Stop 6 - The Barbecue Joint:

Stop 7 - Tung Yi Fung (dim sum):
When we walked in, we knew it was a good place because everyone there was Chinese. I mean everyone. Mark says a white guy walked in as we were leaving, but he was a serviceman. They spoke Cantonese everywhere, so I just pointed at all the dishes we wanted.

Mark approves.

They sat us at a table with two older Chinese women who attempted to talk to me, but I just smiled and shook my head at them saying “sorry, I don’t speak Chinese.” After that, they discussed amongst themselves about how I did/didn’t look Chinese and stared at me a few times. Dim sum meal costed us $25 total for all of us including tax and tip. It was awesome.

Stop 7.5 - Baked:

Oh yeah, and it’s going to be freakin’ cold tomorrow.

Yatta!

We just crossed into Ohio. Lunch in Cleveland, then it is dinner in Chicago. At 3am I washed my hair in a rest stop sink. It was awesome. Pics from the last few days coming tonight.

NYC or bust

Today we went from Florida to North Carolina for some BBQ. I also had some sweet chowder that had smoked scallops and BACON. I could not resist and now I am really stuffed. We’re in Virginia now and making a mad dash to New York City. Eight more hours to go. :) iPhone blogging out.
