Leaving Home
July 20, 2012
Dear Southport Times Readers,
When I think of what I had to leave behind at my dear
Southport home, more than a decade ago, I think of my
favorite place on the planet Earth. Understandable as it
may seem easy to y’all, but that’s how I feel about your
town, I’m exactly now 2,536.113 miles from my home on
the Cape Fear. Often, I’ve been feeling like a GONER! My
town, my favorite people, and my favorite restaurant are
far, too far away. Although I’ve eaten at a many places,
and it’s an amazing world of flavor, I’ve grown fond of
living, and experiencing really good places and the best
foods, right there in downtown Southport. I drool at the
thought of a pig pickin’ NC BBQ, salt air; and blue fin
crabs, steamed with seasonings, just right. And, don’t
forget about the Kings, they all rule in my town.
Jeez, Thai Peppers is still living large in Southport,
thank goodness. I’ve checked on it a cup’la times!
Although I’m not a big time Condé Nast Traveler type
person, I’ve traveled enough across the USA 4 or 5
times, and far across to the South Seas on boat to
fulfill long ago dreams. Still, I believe that Thai
Peppers restaurant is the best place for good eats for
me!
I made up a recipe tonight to re-experience the unique
flavors of Thai Peppers cuisine. Close, but not like
living’ in Southport! I want to come back, but can’t.
Sweet NC, Thai Peppers is still the very best, in my
opinion. It’s especially true if it’s my one and only
hometown, and not a Southport in somebody’s, somewhere
else’s state.
My fond regards and recollections of y’all, my friends
and neighbors,
Richard J. Varga,
