I finally did it. 

Granted this was last week when I was traveling home for spring break, but I did indeed finally stop and partake in it. 

It was a town called Marmet.

Looks good, but for McGriddles > *

Seriously, I think if i were being put to death and had to choose one last meal, it would probably be thee sausage egg and cheese McGriddles, two hashbrowns, and a large Dr Pepper. The cool thing is, that meal would likely kill me anyway, so no worries.

Reminds me of the crap my friend's eat when they're not so sober. It takes a lot of "imagination" to come up with mushing a McChicken on top of a McDouble.

Is that a hashbrown or a chicken patty? In my experience, chicken and pigs make great friends in ma bellay, although potatoes are welcome on most everything. GG
(chicken bacon fajitas for dinner last night ftw... with bacon grease steamed home fries)

Of all the places to stop and get Tudor's Marmet would have probably been my last suggestion. As you were undoubtedly on the I-64/I-77 corridor through Beckley and Beaver, I would have stopped there. Or taken a little side-run up US-19 at Beckley to hit up the Fayetteville Tudor's. But Marmet? I'm sorry you had to witness that. I grew up in Charleston and know that the only thing Marmet is good for is making fun of Marmet and the people from it. Back when they still had a high school (before consolidation) their school cheer was "M-A-R 'Mar' M-E-T 'Met' M-A-R M-E-T GO MARMET!" (it helps if you do it with a southern coalfield twang in your voice).

That was what I thought when I got it. It was shortly followed by "ugh."

Indeed, it was a strange place to stop, but we needed gas, and they had a Kroger gas station. I'll never turn down a 10-cent-off deal. 

Anyway, yeah, it was good, but I was less than blown away. Part of it had to do with reputation. I've heard nothing but praise about how awesome Tudor's is from the likes of you and an old newspaper reporter in the PhD program who worked for newspapers in West Virginia for 20 years. 

But the biscuit was kind of dry, as was the sausage. The rest was fine, but you could tell it wasn't the freshest of biscuit. The place only had a handfull of people in it, two of which looked to be about 450lbs. 

Another contributing factor was that the sandwich was called "The Herd," no doubt because of the closeness of a particular university. Funny enough, I have somehow gone to two universities that have rivalries with that particular university. 

I could taste the rivalry and hatred as I chewed.

Nice Marmot

But I'm unimpressed by a sausage biscuit with hashbrown sandwiched on it.

First time i went there i ordered two biscuits thinking they were mcdonald size. Needless to say I didn't give up to defeat and the result was me only eating one meal for the whole day.

So... From what I gather.. Tudor's is a southern food chain, Marmet is a trailer park, and you ate sausage cheese and a hashbrown on a biscuit?
