I just moved to North Carolina from San Diego, California, and the the difference between the food is huge. it is so hard to find a decent meal here, or at least in Monroe and it's surrounding areas when it comes to things that aren't barbecued and fried. The food here was as goo as back home, which has been really hard to come by. It is a little pricey, but I would rather pay the extra cash for food that isn't bland.
