I consider myself to be a bit of a pizzaholic so Di Fara's has been on my ToDo list for years!  We got in line fifteen minutes before opening, a handful of pizza afficionados in front and back of us.  As the door opened, we shuffled inside, got our…More »

Fresh off a visit to the Xinjiang BBQ cart in Chinatown, my cousin and I wandered over to Fette Sau to double down on the grilled meat fest!  Part barbeque mecca, part beer hall and part bar, Fette Sau is tucked away down a small alleyway marked by a…More »

FLIP Burger Boutique is one of those hot spots that made me wonder if it could live up to its buzz and hype while delivering great food.  And you know what?  It does, amen and thank you!  The place was jammed with people at 1:30pm on the weekend and…More »

You don't know what you've got until it's gone and as a former resident of Connecticut, I used to take New Haven pizza for granted.  Roll forward 10+ years later and I'm dyin' for a good slice of za!  So off we rumble down I-91 to New Haven for some…More »

Out of all the dining places around DPAC, Toast is my favorite!  Great sandwiches served with a smile...   The lovely couple (the Cotters) that runs Toast are always working hard to bring you their wonderful sandwiches.  Just had some…More »

There aren't too many unequivocal bests in the world.  Best pizza?  Maybe DiFara's in Brooklyn...  Best Eastern NC barbeque?  Well from what I've always heard it's Lexington BBQ so yeah, it was time for a visit!

I don't spend much time in this area…More »

Some things are so good that it's wise you keep it at arms length.  I'd have to say that Amelie's falls into that foodie category.  Between the pastries, eclectic crowd, creative decor and 24-hour access, I'm pretty sure I'd be a blimp if I lived in…More »

When you talk barbeque in the Triangle area, you ALWAYS hear about Allen & Son!  Not sure why it took five years but I finally stopped by for some of their delicious grub today, woohoo!  Outside you'd hardly notice the place, I whizzed right by on…More »

5.0 star rating
  7/4/2009

Ok, I haven't been to Richardsons in like, three years but the place is one of those standby's on the North Shore!  When I was a kid (yeah, I'm feeling old right now), it was a smallish, summer ice cream stand.  Over the years they've added the…More »
