The Smash Shack Hits The Streets
ALDERSON- Leaving an occupation can feel like locking a door behind you, but in Abel and Leslie’s case, it only served to open the window into a new line of business, their food truck The Smash Shack. The Smash Shack started as a collaborative effort between close friends. Abel’s background in film and food hospitality combined with Leslie’s experience in management gave them the skills they needed to run the food truck, and with the help of two close friends who own a food trailer they seldom use, the foundation was made. The Smash Shack offers fresh, homemade Smash Burgers, Jumbo Hotdogs, and unique slushie flavors such as PB&J and strawberry cupcake. Their menu is “unapologetically over the top”. Although Abel is originally from San Diego, and Leslie hails from Detroit, both grew up in Alderson and have a spot in their heart for the community. “We enjoy seeing our community face to face, and we encourage conversations while we cook for you.” Abel says. The Smash Shack is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. You can find them around Alderson in popular locations such as the corner of Maple & Monroe, across from the river

The 12 Best Places To Eat In Lewisburg, West Virginia
West Virginia gets a lot of flack for being one of the country's most rural states, but if you ask me, that's its greatest strength. Miles of lush farmland, grazing cows, and hardworking people who turn the bounty of the land into something delicious are the calling cards of a food lover's paradise. That's exactly what West Virginia has to offer — especially in Lewisburg, a small, picturesque town in the Greenbrier Valley.
