Sheetz is a chain of road side stops with ‘gas station, convenience store and made to order quick-serve restaurant’ all rolled into one. The Sheetz I visited is just off route 40 on Aviation Parkway in Morrisville just over the road bridge spanning the highway at the junction where our office is located. I didn’t even think of coming here…

Wide Open Bluegrass 2016 – BBQ Experience at the Whole Hog Barbecue Championship
This weekend I came into Raleigh Durham to visit the ‘Wide Open Bluegrass Festival’ with Cindy and Mike @RunnersThoughts. Apart from the Bluegrass, Mike also promised us that we would be able to get some BBQ from the Whole Hog Barbecue Championship so this was a day out potentially with a win win situation. During the day…
I could make a ‘Ruckus’ over the Blackened Cajun Chicken Sandwich at Ruckus Pizza Pasta and Spirits
Ruckus ‘pizza, pasta & spirits’ over on Park Place in Morrisville exceeded my expectations. When I walked in this week looking for some lunch I was expecting some sort of chain Italian serving pizza and pasta, but what I found was a pretty decent sports bar serving up some decent food, the sort of place I might…
Crank Arm Brewery in Raleigh – Great local brewery and Great place for a really good beer
Crank Arm Brewery in Raleigh, North Carolina is located in the Warehouse District just over the road from Pit Barbeque (that will be my only mention of food in this post). I had this place on my radar as one of the microbreweries that I just had to try when I headed over this weekend…
North Street Beer Station – Local Beers on draft, in the bottle and in cans
North Street Beer Station As I was walking down Greenwood Avenue in Raleigh on Friday evening I cast my eye down North Street where I saw a dimly lit doorway. In the distance I could see people sprawling out onto the sidewalk. In the shadows it looked like they were drinking beer from bottles and cans and plastic glasses. I…
Georgina’s Pizzeria – Andouille Sausage Pizza Pie for Lunch
Georgina’s Pizzeria is located at Morrisville Market near to the neighbourhood Walmart. Outside it looks just like all the other open mall restaurants but inside it is a totally different story. It has that authentic New York Italian feel about it, you can smell the pizza cooking and the pasta sauces steaming away on the stove….
Another Broken Egg Café – Southern Omelette for Brunch
Another Broken Egg Café over at Park Market place is another ‘another broken egg café’, there are at least 6 in North Carolina and many more in and throughout many of the Southern States. When it is a Rainy Day I feel like filling my belly with a nice comforting breakfast brunch style lunch, so…
I went to Bojangles ‘Famous Chicken and Biscuits’ to try some local southern Fast Food
Bojangles is one of the places near to my lodging’s on airport boulevard. I knew virtually nothing about the place but the bright orange sign drew me in from the road as I drove by. Once inside I learnt that they served a lot of chicken; fried chicken, crispy chicken, chicken tenders, chicken thigh, chicken leg….
C&T Wok for some lunchtime comfort Chinese food
C&T Wok located at Morrisville Square Way in Morrisville just off Airport Boulevard is one of the first places I found using the ‘scroll around google maps and click on random restaurants’ technique of MyFoodHunting. I asked Mike @RunnersThoughts if he fancied a Chinese? “I Know a place” I said, and I was well chuffed that…
Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar – Big Comforting Burgers to fill you up
Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar in Morrisville is located over at Park West Village right next to the entrance to the movie theatre. I popped over on Sunday as I was feeling pretty hungry and was in the mood for a big plate of something filling and comforting. I figured that a big bad juicy burger…
