King Tut Drive-In, Beckley, West
Virginia. Kenneth McKay ran Depres-
the Andes Mountains. Cachapas are corn
cakes, cooked on a griddle or in a skillet.
Typically, this Venezuelan street dish is
stuffed with cheese, or sometimes roast
pork. But Masten uses the cachapa as a
springboard for all kinds of creativity. In
the spring, she'll use West Virginia ramps.
Chicken, beef, shrimp and even barbecue
also serve as cachapa fillings.
sion-era tea rooms in New York City and
Cleveland. She would be amazed to learn
that her recipe books from the 1930s are
still in use and at a West Virginia drive-in,
no less. Her son John took over King Tut's
from the Tutwiler family in the 1950s and
promptly introduced pizza to Beckley,
which he had to give away at first. Leftover items from pizza-making made their
way onto pizza burgers, still on the menu
today. John McKay's Nightmare Sandwich, consisting of Polish sausage, mustard, onions, sauerkraut and cheese, came
with a complimentary packet of AlkaSeltzer! Today Kenneth McKay's grand-
son Dave consults those 1930s cookbooks
in creating a full line of homemade pies
at King Tut's, where it's curbside service
only.
Patterson's Drug Store, Martinsburg, West Virginia. Through our travels for Blue Ridge Country, we met former Martinsburg Mayor George Karos.
The son of Greek immigrants, Karos runs
Patterson's Drug Store, with a fully functioning soda fountain and lunch counter.
He treated us to a Jo-Jo, a sundae made
with melted peanut butter, marshmallow
cream, vanilla ice cream and chocolate
syrup. In five years, Patterson's, which
still delivers medications, will celebrate a
century in business.
