The Hello My Name is BBQ food truck people opened up a new (stationary) eating spot today, the Hello My Name is BBQ World Headquarters, so I stopped by for lunch. It’s located at 616 Meeting St, just north of where the I-26 exit crosses over Meeting St. Recognize the colours?
It’s a nice little spot with enough space for 40 or so people to sit inside and a little deck area outside with four tables. Nice big windows make the inside bright and well lit
The menu isn’t to different from the truck offerings, but the World HQ has the benefit of always being in the same place. It’s reasonably close to work too, so now I can go get a Boss Hog without having to wait for the truck to stop by MUSC (although that won’t stop me from getting a Boss Hog when the truck does stop at MUSC).
Running dreams
Most of my dreams these days are filled with running. I’m chasing after something or, more often than not, running from something. I never see what I’m chasing, or what’s chasing me. I never catch it, or get caught. There’s just the running and the chasing.
In the dreams where I’m running from something, there’s always a problem with one of my legs. It’s injured or, strangely, it seems like one leg is dramatically shorter than the other.
Sometimes it jars me into that kind of conscious dreaming state. Part of me is aware of dreaming, but I’m just a spectator in the dream. All I can do is watch and feel myself try to run with that distorted gait.
My dreams have been like this for a few years. I wake up worn out and with tired legs, as if I had been running.

Food truck lunching
Hitting up a food truck usually makes for a good lunch. When there are two involved, it’s even better.
On the way back from my volunteer shift at the Aquarium, I stopped by the Roti Rolls and Diggity Donuts trucks for lunch.
Roti Roll’s 60/40 (short rib burger with pimento kim-cheese) and a fried egg was quite tasty. The kimchee added some nice crunch, although I expected it to be a little spicier. Next time I’ll add some of the Sriracha.
When you get to Diggity early, you get donuts fresh out of the fryer and topped with warm ooey gooey icing. So good. This time I went for the chocolate, chocolate & PB, and lingonberry.
Andru charger
I thought this little Andru phone charger was pretty cool, so I decided to pick one up.
It’s even neater in person. There’s a little stand it pops into when not in use and the little arms swivel and can even hold stuff for you.
And look, the eyes light up when plugged in!
