Despite having a confirmed “multiethnic culinary scene,” Virginia is most famous for ham and peanuts. Visit Suffolk to see the first Planters Peanuts plant built back in 1913. If you visit in October, you can go to the yearly Suffolk Peanut Festival complete with fireworks.
Shop at the Virginia Peanut Company’s Franklin store and buy dill pickle, garlic, and butter toffee flavored peanuts. Dine on ham, pork chops, and other dishes at Taste of Smithfield. Stop and sample other dishes on the Salty Southern Route on Routes 460 and 58 too.
