South Carolina
South Carolina Has 5 Country Stores Where the Fried Chicken Is Better Than Any Restaurant’s
Some of the best meals in South Carolina come from places you might drive right past. A gas pump out front, a screen door, a shelf of odds and ends, and then that smell of hot, crispy chicken hits you. These country…
