Dan C.'s Profile

Ahhhhh......fish & chips or chips & fish?

The magic formula: fish, batter, oil and potatoes. Tastings from all over - local (Triangle) and elsewhere of where I satisfy my greasy sea cravings.

We just ate there not more than an hour ago on a whim and I think this place is a solid 3.5 stars. It's located on the same street as Nanas, Local Yogurt and Thai Cafe...and right next door to the Q-shack.

After stuffing ourselves on some dessert at…More »

6/1/2010 First to Review

I'm going out on a limb and giving this place 5 stars. Why? B/c they produced a damn good fish and chips. Better yet....they combined my love of poutine with fried fish. Does it get any better than that?

Seriously, fresh fish fried to order - you…More »

It's taken me awhile to write about Tempest and not b/c of any bad experience, mind you, but b/c of how amazing this place is - service- and food-wise. I just needed a little time to wrap my mind around the exquisite experience we had there almost 2…More »

This was our last meal in Halifax before leaving and my wife was kind enough to oblige my recent obsession with all things fish and chips. After an amazing week of seafood all over Nova Scotia, this was a bit of an indulgence on my part...prolly not…More »

There was a cold Nor'easter heading our way. You could smell the sea salt in the air. Quickly, we docked our boat at the pier and climbed up the twenty-ish steep meters up to the nearest door in sight. The welcoming picture of large pints of Guinness…More »

Recently updated lists from Dan C.

I can haz internetz? (Free Wifi in the Triangle) (25) I'm cheap. There I said it. So I like to support businesses that let me dine, drink, shop, etc...also while letting me do my surfing. Preferably non-chain and local, but I've been known to show up in a few of the big corporations' brick & mortar joints to check-in. Here are some places in the Triangle that'll cater to your internet wet dreamz and check-in fantazeees....	Home, Sweet Home.... (11) RDU (and nearby) resources for that big home purchase....don't worry, it's only 30 years of your life, right??????
Repeat Offenders (3) As quoted in Raising Arizona, "They've got a name for people like you....That name is called 'recidivism.'" It's good to give people a second chance for redemption. However, some businesses just don't get it. Here's a list of Triangle businesses that just don't make the grade after subsequent visits/dealings.	Where's Dan? (Lunch eats in & around RTP/Durham/CH) (26) I liken this list to a "Where's Waldo?" game, except....I'm Waldo. You might find me here....then again, you might not! I'm harder to spot b/c I'm not wearing that striped shirt with a cap. Good luck!
Twice is Nice... (4) Everyone deserves a second chance at redemption, right? Here are some Triangle businesses that didn't quite jive with me the first visit, but later proved me wrong. It's like Lazarus...but everyone's still alive. No worries, no businesses were hurt in this list.	You say Szechuan, I say Sichuan...Szechwan. All hail the pepper! (3) If you like spicy, these places cater to the chili-loving southwestern Chinese province with that iconic Szechuan/Sichuan/Szechwan peppercorn!
What happens in Vegas.... (13) Living la vida local for 4 years in Las Vegas - these are the places I loved and still miss.	Dog days....in the Triangle (11) The good, the bad and the ruff - all things dog related I've found in the Triangle so far (dog parks, vets, shops, etc.).
Puttin' on the frites: poutine, chips/tots/fries with sauce (8) My weird passion for all things frites in the Triangle. I prefer poutine, but cheese fries/tots or even chili-cheese fries will do... Just remember (sung to "Puttin' on the Ritz"): When you're blue and you don't know where to go to, Why don't you go where the potato sits, Puttin' on the frites....	Win some, dim sum.... (5) Sometimes it's a draw...or worse. Some local (Triangle) and not so local dim sum places (from all over) b/c I've got to keep the dream alive!
