We drove down to Virginia’s Hunt County this past Sunday and
came across this great place called Johnny Monarch’s….a bus-taurant. The food
and the staff were fantastic but even if they hadn’t been I would have eaten there
anyway…..I mean restaurant in an old London Double Decker? How could I not eat there?
The Sixties' decor is wonderful.
The menu is mainline American. Our chef was a young man named
Andrew who was kind enough to let me try a slice of Piedmont Pie, the house
specialty. I had the steak and cheese, called “Steak me away”….very tasty and very
large, you get your money’s worth in this place. I also had a side of potato salad
made with southern overtones (Creole mustard, asparagus with red peppers) and
they HAVE A FRIED BALONEY SANDWICH ON THE MENU. It's on the kid's menu but they’ll
make it for you if you’re a big kid as well.
