Pecan Barn - Richmond Area

Steve’s take

The pecan shops and country stores along I-95 through Virginia are a Southern road trip tradition. Pecans by the bag, boiled peanuts by the cup, and enough peanut brittle to put a dentist's kid through college. These roadside stops are disappearing slowly, so when you see one, pull over. The boiled peanuts are weird if you've never had them — hot, salty, soft — and your kids will either love them or look at you like you've lost your mind.
