What's your N.C. fantasy food tour?

The web site Grub Street has a slide show up this morning with their picks for the 52 best places in the U.S. to make a summer food pilgrimage .

It's worth a run-through if you're traveling to another state this summer, although I'll save you the clicks and tell you the Carolinas picks: Gullah Grub on St. Helena Island for South Carolina, Price's Chicken Coop in Charlotte for North Carolina.

Now, while I make no secret of my fondness for Price's, I admit I was a little disappointed. It's not that Price's doesn't deserve it, it's just that so many other places do, too.

One of my food-writer fantasies has always been to put together the ultimate N.C. road food tour (preferably by Greyhound, which feeds into my lingering country singer fantasies). I'd have a mix of restaurants and food places, stores and experiences. I'd have places like the Old Mill of Guilford, Skytop Orchards on a clear early fall morning, Mott's Channel Seafood in Wrightsville Beach and Yoder's Amish Market in Blanch.

Sure, I'd have a barbecue restaurant or two, but no more - barbecue gets as much attention as Price's.

So I'm throwing it open to you: If you were putting together a fantasy food tour of North Carolina, what would you include (Greyhound station not mandatory)?
