After my yearlong adventure through West Virginia to try all the Tudor's Biscuit World locations, I had my fill for quite some time. But, when I found myself in Williamson in need of breakfast, I discovered a Tudor's just down the road - even though it's technically in another state. I ordered a blueberry muffin, which I'm not sure whether they make in-house or not. But it was good. The top was a bit hard, but overall moist and sweet.

There are so many food crazes out there that it's hard to keep track! One I stumbled upon on Instagram is "tanghulu," which is a Chinese candied fruit.
Original PJ’s Pizza has been around since 1969 and has recently expanded from New Martinsville to Moundsville.
They are known for PJ's Special Pizza: THE Special for over 50 years! Pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, sausage, onion, green pepper, banana pepper, signature shake
I ordered a small and open the box in the parking lot. The toppings were plentiful, falling off the sides and making it a bit messy. But I did enjoy the flavor. It combines the crunchy and a little bitter and a little sweet and savory. It's that classic "supreme" pizza flavor that I didn't really appreciate until I was older.

While the southern part of the state has Sam's Hot Dogs, the northern part has T&L Hot Dogs. These are both beloved, local hot dog chains that I've been working my way through.
T&L has 8 different locations in North Central WV, and this one was my last to visit: the Clarksburg Walmart. I'm not even sure how a local hot dog joint gets into an establishment like Walmart, but this express location still has all the favorites. I did two hotdogs with onion and ketchup, as well as a slushy. These onions were so finely cut, they were almost grated or minced. Aside from that, I enjoyed the standard hotdog and bonus points for the drink.

Crafts of Coal has expanded beyond their humble beginnings. The ice cream shop has opened up several locations, with the newest being in Sissonville.
The building has a walk-up window and lounge chairs on the porch - but no inside dining. The flavors are a fun combo of classics and unique. I ordered the Country Roads Cookie Jar, which had both m&ms and cookie dough. I enjoyed the cookie dough bits, but I think the m&ms were just a bit too much for my personal preference. But I'd gladly go back to try all the other flavors!
