and then they told me to try the apple one for a "sweet" one

and it was decent, just not as good as the sausage one
I'll probably go back another day and try some of their lunch ones
https://stlkolache.com/ lmao they changed their website
I don't even think the VA location is on their site yet
I'd rather they kept the St. Louis branding honestly
I did ask about provel
and they said yes
the owner was chill btw
he's our age
black guy from St. Louis
and idk who told him where to open shop in VA, but he picked an A-tier location
no idea
I actually don't know how he picked this location so well
because there are like 4-5 factors that I think make it genuinely amazing
but you wouldn't know any of them if you're not local
only better spot would be a more expensive location in one of city districts, but those'd be more expensive
that location w/ franchise fees and everything, I bet he only spent $300k total to open shop
idk Max, they don't have a bean burrito bun
2nd fastest*
but yeah sure, next time we hang out in my area we'll put it on the list
sweet BBQ is such a waste
Max, here's my heresy
I like BBQ pulled chicken more than pulled pork
I feel like the only person who actually likes bbq chicken, especially around here
I think hushpuppies might be one of my favorite niche foods
almost non-existent around here
well, the reason why
is because Southern and northern hushpups are nothing alike
and around here the Maryland/NE style clash with the southern style
and so it's almost impossible to find them, or if you do they're shitty sysco frozen ones
agreed
dumplings are the same way around here
