This weekend I had made plans to seek out some of the local breweries in Cary, North Carolina, and I had The Bond Brothers Beer Company on my radar and in my sights. It was pretty lucky for me that the same day I chose to visit coincided with the Downtown Fall Festival; a collaboration between…

Steel String Brewery – Some excellent locally brewed beers, original, refreshing, and well tasty
Steel String Brewery in Carrboro was a most excellent find on myfoodhunt tour around North Carolina. I really do like discovering local craft beers and microbreweries as they all seem to be so dedicated to the cause and come up with some truly excellent ideas to put into my glass. I found an excellent quote in an article…
Jimmy’s Famous Hot Dogs – Two Dog Combo Carolina Style
Jimmy’s Famous Hot Dogs on HWY 55 is one of two dog shack locations in the South Durham area. The one we visited is the newer one moving to its current location inside an old waffle house building earlier in the year I have been told. The sign out front says that they serve burgers,…
Salsa Fresh Original Mexican Grill – Time for some Taco’s!
Salsa Fresh ‘original Mexican Grill’ at Morrisville Market is one of three locations in the Triangle, the other two are in Raleigh. They say they serve everything as Fresh (every day), no freezers, no microwaves, this all sounded really promising. They also say that “Salsa Fresh offers the best California-style Mexican food in Raleigh”. Ok so to…

Hot Dogs at The Roast Grill – Family owned for generations and really good too!
The Roast Grill was number one on my list of places to visit in Raleigh NC to get a hot dog. I think it was the stories I had read about how it had been here since 1940 and how it had hardly changed during that time that really whet my appetite and piqued my excitement…
Chirba Chirba Dumpling Food Truck – Bayside Chive for me please!
Chirba Chirba Dumpling Truck was one of the many Food Trucks at the Wide Open Bluegrass Festival. I had read about these guys when I was planning my trip to North Carolina and had been hoping to bump into them at some point I had walked all the way down Fayettville Street looking at every…
Tasty 8’s Gourmet Hot Dogs – The DogFather
Tasty 8’s Gourmet Hot Dogs in Raleigh is located on Fayettville Street up at the end near to the State Capitol building. I like a hot dog and I am always intrigued when someone says that they have a ‘gourmet’ dog, it sounds like a oxymoron. I am always willing to take a chance and I…
