40 first mentioned the Fryemont's wine list when he overhead me recommending the
place to someone at a gathering in NC and butted in with his esteemed opinion.
He didn't have anything good to say about the food, then, either. FWIW

Still don't, FWIW, other than after trying just about every place
else in Bryson City over the years I've come to realize that the
Fryemont is the best in town. But when you're talking about Bryson
City that's not saying much. The Fryemont is a neat old place and
very reasonably priced but don't expect to be overwhelmed with
culinary delights.

Maybe they'll read this and start offering such as Chef Boyardee, boxed
wine, and Plyweiser...

Well, I don't know Chuck. My views on the DYBS who badmouth
Budweiser are well known around here. Your chain , on the
other hand, seems to be of the self-yanking variety. ;-)

Speaking of self ... er ... "yanking", be sure and let me know when
you're finished.

What to eat: There are four basic food groups in St. Louis:
(1) Budweiser; (2) toasted ravioli (3) thin-crust pizza;
(4) grilled pork steaks. But feel free to experiment; you can
substitute Bud Light for Budweiser if you like. If you visit
one of our many splendid Italian restaurants, you may order
the mostaciolli, pronounced locally as "muskacholey," but
keep in mind that it's usually reserved for St. Louis weddings.

That sounds about right to me. ;-)

Toasted ravioli?!?!?!? What a yuppie snob, everyone knows that
Chef Boyardi is far more popular and hence better. ;-)

Toasted ravioli?!?!?!?

Oh, god yes. The Italian neighborhood in St. Louis is called
The Hill, probably because it *is* a hill ;-), and so far as
I know toasted ravioli originated in the restaurants there.

Freshly made raviolini (I think the little guys fry up better)
stuffed with asiago, mozarella and Italian sausage, dunked in
milk then dredged in fine bread crumbs. Let them sit for a
couple of hours then fry them in the deep fryer or a few at a
time in a couple inches of oil in a frying pan. Serve with a
spicy marinara sauce and pass the parmesan. Wonderful stuff,
I think I'm getting homesick.

...I've never met anyone, not one person, that wasn't a snob and a bigot
about something. Indeed I believe it's part of being human ... with the
awareness of self seems to come a belief that "self" is better than
others....certainly a need to believe so, a need that will overwhelm
facts and logic...

Definitions of snobbery and bigotry so broad as to allow the inclusion of
every man, woman and child on the planet aren't good for very much, it seems
to me.
