Over break I tried to visit as many of my favorite eating establishments as I could. One day I decided to get my favorite cheeseburger in South Carolina and I made the 30 minute trek to Mr. Bunky's on 378. I went for the burger, but I got so much more. This restaurant/country store sells one of everything. I was trying to be discret as I took pictures, so some of these are pretty shaky (it didn't work, I still got called out).
