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…

Ted’s Montana Grill – Bison Burgers and Gumbo
Cindy and Mike (@runnersthoughts) took me on my first trip to the edge of Durham to visit Ted’s Montana Grill one of their favourite local spots. They come here a lot midweek, it was like being greeted by family as we walked in, and the lovely Carmen, who knew them by name, guided us towards…
Paddy O’Beers – “Good Beer. Good Times. Happy People.”
Paddy O’Beers in Raleigh is a ‘Bottle Shop & Tasting’ Room located up on Fayetteville St near to the State Capitol building. I have found myself frequenting this place on occasion as I check out the Triangle. It is a pretty friendly place and they certainly seem to know and care a lot about the beers that…
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…
Sheetz – Fresh Food Made-to-Order on the roadside for the ‘Road Warrior’ and ‘The Office Worker’
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…
