Crawfish Daddy: Photo of the Day
Another year has gone by – the annual Crawfish Boil hosted by my dearest aerial-dancer girlfriend and to celebrate her partner’s birthday! I literally sat down and ate for 3 hours.
Regional Revival and Homecoming
I’m sure that I’m not the only one to romanticize home when I travel or visit my family’s house. To me, the place evokes images of taut golden tomato skins, bottle-feeding Holstein calves, pricking my fingertips on blackberry bush brambles, and the sweet smell of new spring air while foraging for (now overly fetishized) ramps. [...]
Winkler Bakery, a 212-Year Old Tradition: TidBit of the Day
This bakery is 212 years old. This baker is not 212 years old. But what he’s holding – gorgeous Moravian sugar cake, a dense, coffeecake-like delight baked with potatoes – is the same recipe used two hundred years ago. Winkler Bakery, located in Old Salem in Winston-Salem, NC was originally owned by Thomas Buetner [...]
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!
Cape Fear Brew: TidBit of the Day
After a hard-fought race at the Cape Fear Dragon Boat Festival 2011, our wet, tired, jubilant, newly-formed team celebrated our first competition and a fast race at the wonderful Front Street Brewery in Wilmington, NC. Great brew, great Southern food. Happy hour appetizers were half off, and while this was pub food, it was pub [...]
Ooo Kokyu!: TidBit of the Day
Another good find…the week I was juice fasting, I had nothing but cravings for the duck-fat tator tots, pork belly “takos,” and short rib “takos” of the international-fusion-BBQ food truck, KoKyu BBQ in the Triangle area in NC. The crispiness of the tators mixed with the spiciness and fat of the pork…they don’t do your [...]
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 – [...]

Pie Pushers: TidBit of the Day
Another amazing find in Durham, NC – some of the best pizza I’ve had – Pie Pushers. You can get full pie or slice of the pie, and the ingredients are locally sourced. From simple (but not simple in flavor) to the most fantastic combinations and toppings, from sweet corn to bake potatoes, follow them [...]
