found a great dive for lunch in high point

Oct 13

We were driving down main street a high noon in high point wondering what to do for lunch. Linda spotted a PACKED parking lot. Since a packed parking lot is my number one key to finding a great restaurant when we're a newby to the area, we swung in. And man did we find the right place today. Have no idea about the history of this place, but this isn't their first day on the job. Just guessing, probably several decades +. It was packed. The waitresses were flying. Farah knew this was our first time, and she practically ordered for us. We had fried pork chops, fried squash, mashed potatoes, spaghetti, cobler - what else. It was awesome. I rarely eat fried, but this was the time to make an exception. We'll be back, maybe for breakfast!

Robin Wade

Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
