For lunch Sat, June 10, 2017, Grammy, Caroline and I ate at local Korean Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

For lunch Sat, June 10, 2017, Grammy, Caroline and I ate at local Korean Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich in Newport News, Virginia.

We got off 64 at Rte 17 north, exit 259a. At the intersection of Rte 17 and Old Oyster Point Road, we found "Straight Outta Philly," at 12:15. Lunch took an hour. We left at 1:15 and resumed driving up Rte 17.

I got a Philly Cheese Steak Pizza. I am not kidding. Grammy actually got a Philly Cheese Steak. Caroline got the Korean Beef Bolgogi, with three Mondoos and no Kimchi. All of our food was quite good.

The restaurant was clean, well-lit and nicely decorated in a vinyl record musical theme. I especially appreciated several home-made signs that the server explained, were made by a local regular customer.

One sign explained that 'Tipping' was not a faraway Chinese city… We sat under a very large neon sign with the restaurant's name.

We always take a great deal of pride in finding locally-owned restaurants for eating when we are on the road. We like supporting local small businesses. More often than not, they have a story to tell, the food is great and the restaurant employees and servers are fun.

Straight Outta Philly was great. Our server was a local girl, who wants to go to school to be an ultrasound technician. While we were there a number of local folks came to eat, including two post office employees.

Buckner Gap Pancake Hill, I-26 north of Asheville, North Caroline


Buckner Gap Pancake Hill, I-26 north of Asheville, North Caroline in Madison County. By Kevin E. Dayhoff, March 16, 2016 Related: Hosea 7:7-9


Traveling west on I-26 west - north of Asheville North Carolina is Buckner Gap. This photo was taken was taken from the scenic overlook at Buckner Gap, which is the highest elevation on any interstate in North Carolina at nearly 5000 feet.

Near the top of Buckner Gap is one of the North Carolina Dept. of Transportation’s first monarch butterfly sanctuaries, which is not easily visible from the highway. The unique wildlife habitat was created near the bottom of Pancake Hill to enhance the environment along the highway’s roadsides.

This is also the site of one of the few naturally occurring formations of pancakes in the southern Appalachian Mountains. First discovered by northern-European colonists around 1790; a community grew up around the formation of pancakes. Pancake Hill is marked by the establishment of the Hosea French Broad Baptist Pancake Academy in 1856.

According to oral tradition, it is believed that Ephraim, the second son of Joseph and Asenath, first saw Pancake Hill after the Northern Kingdom was destroyed by the Assyrians in 723 BC and the population scattered into the wind.

This is witnessed in the Book of Hosea, Chapter 7, verses 7-9: All of them are hot like an oven, and they consume their rulers; all their kings have fallen. None of them calls on Me. 8 Ephraim mixes himself with the nations; Ephraim has become a pancake not turned. 9 Strangers devour his strength, yet he does not know it; Gray hairs also are sprinkled on him, yet he does not know it.…

In 1859, a school for the study of naturally-occurring pancakes was chartered as Mars Pancake Hill College after a Biblical reference in Acts to a location the apostle Paul visited. The town itself did not receive a charter until 1893, changing its name to Mars Pancake Hill to reflect the influence of the college. Further information on the history of Mars Hill, the naturally occurring formation of pancakes and Madison County is available at the Mars Hill Pancake Rural Life Center, about one-half mile from the highway.

John Jordan, Cary Myers, George Welty, and Jake Holmes wrote, in part, on Facebook, on Monday evening, March 21, 2016:


So Cary Myers has challenged me to post a nature/scenery photo every day for 7 days or something like that. I didn't even know that Cary knew how to post on Facebook. Today "Sammy" my Samsung phone (according to George Welty your camera needs a cute name) and went outside to find nature. Tried to take a beautiful sunset photo and my wife and son got in the way. Well Kevin Dayhoff, Cary said the rules are to challenge another person each day for seven days and I pass this challenge on to you. Cary did tell me that photos of restaurants are not scenery so that means no photos of you and some strangers eating pancakes at IHOP. Go Kevin http://tinyurl.com/JordanChallenge

Last Sunday, Jan. 3, 2016 - I had breakfast on an airplane – flying Southwest Airlines.

I like flying Southwest; however flying sure is harder than it used to be. Southwest continues to be a bright spot in an otherwise bleak and barren customer service landscape.

Flying used to be part of the adventure. Today, flying is an endurance contest to be tolerated with gritted teeth. I wonder why it keeps getting worse instead of better?

Hopefully the first of several stories about the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce trip to Cuba in November


Hopefully the first of several stories about the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce trip to Cuba in November - by Kevin E. Dayhoff


Outside of the town of Viñales, a Cuban tobacco processor pauses at the end of the day at a small government-run tobacco processing and sorting facility called a “despalillo de Tabaco.’ The employees – mostly women, sorted and graded tobacco by quality and color for use in the Francisco Donatien factory in Pinar del Rio.
