[ONE] Restaurant has been on our list of places to try for quite some time. We figured it was the perfect venue to celebrate our [ONE] year wedding anniversary. Much like a marriage, going to [ONE] works best when you have trust. I love going to a restaurant and allowing […]
We asked a few of our Taste 2015 participants their favorite local beverage, their thoughts on the most underrated Southern food, where they would eat their last meal in the Triangle, which local chefs are on the rise and much more. Watch as Chef/Owner Jason Smith of Harvest 18, 18 Seaboard and Cantina 18; Josh Kimbrough of Carrboro Coffee Roasters; Chris Jude of Fair […]
It just keeps getting better! Our second annual Taste – held April 23-26, 2015 – was even tastier (if that’s possible) than last year’s event. The four-day festival kicked off with a VIP reception at Bar Lusconi with James Beard Foundation award-winning chef Andrea Reusing of Lantern. Next, it was on to the Durham Armory for the Grand Taste Experience where guests […]
Summer is almost here and I am loving all the fresh produce that is now available. Lately I see clients on the weekends and work into the evening during the week, which can make it difficult to get to the farmers’ market. When I was offered the opportunity to try Bella Bean Organics’ […]

It doesn’t get any more Chapel Hill than chatting with Bill Smith at Crook’s Corner. Over a PBR, the bespectacled chef dove into the rich history of the pickled peach ice cream that’s been served in his family since the 1880s. Bill’s great-grandmother’s grandmother was an outspoken abolitionist who took […]
At most bars, tequila is something you slug (and more often than not, there’s some wincing involved). At Calavera, it is savored. With more than 50 types on the menu, patrons are encouraged to order a flight of three. As owner Kenneth Yowell says, “From the vanilla and caramel flavors of a […]
As I prepared a strawberry rhubarb crisp this week, I calculated the ingredients in my head. The recipe was written to make 8 servings and I only needed 4. Half of ¾ cup? No problem, it’s ¼ cup plus 2 Tablespoons. That made me think of what tips and tricks I find […]
Recently, I was invited to speak about women’s changing roles in the food business with a focus on the Triangle. UNC American Studies professor Marcie Cohen Ferris, who addresses this topic in her latest book, The Edible South, would have been the logical choice for this presentation, but the organizers […]
Earth Day is April 22, which is only a few days away. Around town, there are many events to get you thinking about the environment (i.e. Keep Carrboro Beautiful Day this weekend and Earth Evening in Hillsborough on April 24) and while it’s great to take part in the events those days, it’s important to […]
