Preacher’s pick is not selling T-shirts or apparel with our logo on it. If you see this, it is a scam. Thanks so much.

Depending on the specific country or region, the dish goes by several different names:

Update: Nominations are now closed! Watch for our top one list!
Preacher’s Pick here! By popular demand we are doing an “Italian Sub/Hoagie” challenge! Some folks, especially if from PA, call them Hoagies while many others call them Subs. Some even call them Grinders and go on to explain the differences.
Anyway, nominate your favorite place to get an Italian Sub in Lynchburg or surrounding area of no more than 30 Minutes away, and we will visit the top nine nominated over the next three weeks. We will be looking at the amount of meat and cheese, other condiments included, bread quality, and price. So start nominating your favorite Italian sub place now and we will take nominations through Sunday evening at 9 PM.
FYI- The pic included with this post is the wildly popular White House Subs in Atlantic City, NJ. Where hey call this an “Italian Sub.” Blessings!

On October 17th, the North Carolina Liver Mush Festival gets underway as one of the tastiest and most memorable events of the year here in the state! The 41st annual Mush, Music & Mutts festival takes over Uptown Shelby from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with free admission, more than 130 food, drink, and craft vendors, live music, kids activities, and plenty for pets too. Liver mush has been part of western North Carolina food tradition for generations, made with at least 30% pork liver along with cornmeal and seasonings. You can try it in biscuits, breakfast sandwiches, donuts, smashburgers, and other creative dishes, while plenty of non-liver-mush food is available too. Music fills several stages with bluegrass, Americana, roots rock, brass, and more. The RollOver Pet Zone brings a pet parade, costume contest, K9 demos, trick shows, paw painting, and Musical Sit. Families can head to the free Land of Rhythm Kids Zone for pumpkin painting, balloon animals, putt-putt, and fitness games. There is also a liver mush eating contest, recipe contest, livestream cook-off, local shopping, and the Foothills Farmers' Market nearby.

We went to Sawa in Forest for lunch yesterday. They were the Preacher’s Pick last year for Hibachi Chicken.
I got their Bento box and it was great. It came with Hibachi chicken (not teriyaki chicken), seaweed salad, California roll, wontons, and mixed veggies. Most other hibachi joints only have onions and zucchini in their mix, but Sawa has much more!
My wife got hibachi chicken and we also got an order of their Spicy Korean Chicken. If you like the sauce on Bonefish Grill’s Bang Bang Shrimp You’ll love this spicy Korean chicken!
The California was one of the best I’ve had as they certainly did not skimp on the ingredients! It came with ginger, wasabi, and a pickled radish slice.
Go try Sawa and tell them that Preacher’s Pick sent ya!
