was come in and buy $1,000 worth of gi
cards and gave them out. He said, "For me
to be successful, you need to be successful.
And I would not have been as successful
had it not been for Chick-fil-A and Tommy
Arnold."
As for the Parkton Aviation pilots, they
are not just Jason Hairr's customers each
Friday, but they have become friends.
"Oh, it's a great time," he says. "A great
group of guys. ere's lots of knowledge in
those guys. ey've been in Fayetteville a
long time, and I enjoy sitting and hearing
their stories and I try to absorb as much as I
can from them."
Among their favorite items on the menu,
Hairr says, is the smoked sausage, pork
chops and brisket.
"And they never turn down a dessert," he
says. "Or pound cake."
Jason Hairr says, yes for sure, they are
more than customers on any given Friday.
"I could call any one of them and ask for
the shirt off their back, and they would call
another one and give the shirt off of their
back, too," Hairr says. "I feel like you become
the type of people you hang out with, and
they want me to be successful."

and Wednesday, and from 10:30 a.m. to 8
p.m. on ursday, Friday and Saturday.
"One of the things l like about my job
and my place is that I can give somebody an
opportunity," Hairr says, like Stefon Perez,
the austistic server, who is a Johnny-On-e
Spot waiter like none other. "You cannot
outgive God, and God has blessed me more
than I deserve."
It's Southern Coals Country Style
Kitchen, with the pulled pork barbecue, the
barbecued chicken, the brisket, and don't
forget the fried okra aplenty, the potato
salad, the broccoli salad the collard greens,
and where the "Parkton Air Force" boys
hang out every Friday come rain or shine.
And don't forget the banana pudding.
