For those of you who fondly recall the tiny little hole in the wall breakfast joint on Mainstreet in Blowing Rock named “Sonny’s” for the owner (and served liver mush (
@SimpleMan)), I was thrilled to learn his cook, Tim, from 1979-1995, is still cooking in Blowing Rock at a nice new place where Knights on Main was. It’s called Social on Main now, and been beautifully remodeled, like the rest of Blowing Rock these days. He runs the place. GREAT breakfast, and lunch. Closed on Wednesdays.
Sonny opened in 1954 and cooked till he died in 1999. Tim went on to run Knights of Main down the street, and more recently Sunny Rock, next to Foggy Rock. Then that owner decided to retire. And Social on Main opened this past December.
By the way, for you liver mush/pudding aficionados (like me), Tim told me that his Neese's guy said liver mush and liver pudding are the same thing. Just packaged different for different regions.
