We got a late start so decided to skip the first restaurant on our list, Allen & Son in Chapel Hill. That’s OK, we can always head there for dinner.
Too bad our dog couldn’t join us today. He’s a lot of fun, and I could end every post with, ‘the dog ordered the fried fish and liked it.’
So we headed west out of Camp Bow Wow to downtown Mebane, where we passed some beautiful old houses heading into town. If I ever got a job in Greensboro, Mebane would be tops on our list, after Durham, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough.
A&M Grill, Mebane, NC
Very nice place with great service. We ordered a small plate of chopped barbecue to split with two sides—coleslaw and mac & cheese. We all got sweet tea, which was not too-too sweet and enjoyed the yummy, crunchy hush puppies.
The barbecue was quite delicious but strange in that it came with lots of thick, red sauce on top. Unusual for these parts. I thought the flavor was subtle and smoky, and the sauce was a nice change of pace from the typical sauceless grub we usually see. Jeremy and Charles wanted more pork, less sauce. Coleslaw was a little mayonnaisey and peppery for me. The mac & cheese was, well, perfect—if you like mushy noodles and lots of butter and cheese, which I do.
