J.B. Weisenfels has lived in rural Arkansas for three decades. She is a writer, a mom, and a graduate student. She is also an avid collector of tacky fish whatnots, slightly chipped teapots, and other old things. In her spare time she enjoys driving to the nearest creek to sit a while. If you were to visit her, she'd try to feed you cornbread.
There are plenty of wonderful diners around our home state, but when it comes to two categories, you’re not going to find anywhere more quintessentially South Carolinian than the Beacon Drive-In, a Spartanburg institution. The Beacon Drive-In is a nostalgic place aimed to hit your tastebuds and your heart strings with a taste of good old-fashioned diner favorites: great food and an even better dining experience. They also serve more sweet tea than any other restaurant in the United States.
