DaisyCakes 2.0: TidBit of the Day
As you may know, one of my favorite cupcakeries in the world is DaisyCakes, which has been at the Durham, NC’s Farmer’s Market in its Airstream for years. Now they opened a physical shop with simple quiches, breakfast sandwiches, omelets, sandwiches, and soups – all locally sourced. Its potato soup is perfectly creamy and its [...]
Wake Up, People: Mushroom Egg Bake
On Friday, I attended the dinner of the 26th Annual Sustainable Agriculture Conference held by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association. During a time when all I seem to see on TV are celebrities getting married or divorced – all on heavily-sponsored reality shows, of course – I was amazed at the 1,200 people there [...]

Sweet crêpes like Nutella are offered, as well as savory ones like turkey with basil pesto and mozzarella and brie, apple butter, [...]
Four Square: TidBit of the Day
During Triangle Restaurant Week, I finally made it an oft-heard place, Four Square Restaurant in Durham, NC. Housed in the historic Bartlett Mangum House, built in 1908, it was like eating in someone’s home. The food was…simply…AMAZING. Classic with a twist, fresh, fulfilling without stuffing. Perfect. For $30, started off with “Roasted Tomato Butternut Squash [...]
Sliding into Home Run: TidBit of the Day
A blue truck with local ingredients selling gourmet slides. Slippin’ Sliders is a fantastic, quick bite with great Cajun fries and choice of sliders – mix and match. Great to late night munchies (or anytime of the day). Even though they are Raleigh-based, this food truck married Durham. Yay.
Enter the Parlour: TidBit of the Day
What’s that you say? Salted butter caramel ice cream. Just one of many flavors found on a little white school bus. Welcome to the Parlour, a retrofitted white mini schoolbus with some simply amazing flavors. They also have some creative toppings – like doughnuts!
Old Havana in the New Durham: TidBit of the Day
More evidence of Bull City Rising: a new Cuban restaurant east of the downtown Courthouse. For those of you less familiar with Durham, east of the Courthouse has yet to really pick up – businesses still tend to be shy and many empty storefronts remain. Two local Durhamites – one is a Cuban native – [...]
