In the mood for a little Americana, we went to the SC Upper State Fair, and stopped in Gaffney on the way for some lunch and shopping at the outlet mall.
We stopped at Harold's, a small establishment in Gaffney, recently on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, for chili sandwhiches.
On the way home we decided to go to the Beacon in Spartanburg, also seen on TV. Even though we were hungry, we could not have finished our "a-plenty" plates even if it was our only meal for the day. It was fun. It's easy to forget that there are still unique places out there, amidst all the fast-food chains.
Highly recommended -- not just for the novelty but the onion rings as well.
