Phantom Foodie<br />
This month, I decided to write about one of my favorite<br />
places that is a surprise to some people: Colt’s Pig Stand<br />
at Destination Daytona.<br />
The first time I ate at Colt’s Pig Stand, I was on my way<br />
to The White Eagle to see Big Engine perform. We<br />
stopped there because it was on the way from Ormond<br />
Beach to the White Eagle so it was convenient. We were<br />
pleasantly surprised. I had, admittedly, avoided it before<br />
that night because it just seemed too “touristy”, being right<br />
off of I-95 and at the edge of Destination<br />
Daytona (I was certain the prices would be<br />
high and the food mediocre at best). That<br />
visit really opened my eyes to what I had<br />
been missing, even though I had been so<br />
close to it on so many occasions.<br />
The restaurant is clean and organized and<br />
has some playful, interesting decorating<br />
touches. The seating options are numerous<br />
and seating is plentiful – you can sit outside<br />
on a covered patio or inside, where there<br />
are both high top tables at the front of the building and<br />
also regular tables towards the back. You order at the<br />
counter and pay for your meal, then place the number<br />
they give you on your table and they bring it to you when<br />
your order is complete. You serve yourself soft drinks,<br />
water or iced tea from the beverage bar area; they also<br />
have a beer cooler as you walk up to place your order and<br />
I believe they also have a few draft selections.<br />
The food is delivered quickly and there are staff to check<br />
on you as you enjoy your meal. I have always experienced<br />
excellent service time and friendliness from the staff<br />
here. My favorite menu item, by far, is Onion Rings. No<br />
matter what I order otherwise, no matter if I am dieting,<br />
no matter who I am with, I ALWAYS order their onion<br />
rings. They are always hot, the breading is amazing, and<br />
the portion plentiful. I have had brisket, turkey, beef and<br />
pork in various preparations here. My favorite entrees<br />
are the brisket and the turkey sandwich (if you get our<br />
sandwich on a bun, they have a fun “brand”<br />
they stamp into the top of the bun). They have<br />
“down home” side dishes, such as collard<br />
greens, black eyed peas, and macaroni and<br />
cheese (but really, get the onion rings). They<br />
also have a kids’ menu, salads, wings and<br />
delicious looking desserts (I think the carrot<br />
cake has at least eight layers).<br />
I have been back many, many times since that<br />
evening and it is one of my favorite Sunday<br />
treats before hitting up the jam session at<br />
Saints and Sinners or the Beaver Bar down the street for<br />
some music in the afternoon. Do yourself a favor if you<br />
are in the area (or make a special trip if you aren’t in the<br />
area) – even if you just go get some onion rings and a<br />
beer, go by Colt’s Pig Stand and I bet you will make it a<br />
regular stop.<br />
Stay tuned – next month we will feature a restaurant<br />
requested by one of our readers – can’t wait to try it out!<br />
