This is the real deal, folks. Great Sichuan style cooking in the Triangle.
After a week of traveling the coast of Nova Scotia eating some amazing seafood, we wanted some comfort food last night. Our first choice? Gourmet Kingdom, surprisingly. Is it…More »
I'd heard good things about this place via other websites. So, it didn't take too much to convince my better half to give this place a try on a chilly February weekend. We'd been living in the area for almost a year and hadn't experienced very many…More »
It's crazy how many Sichuan-style restos there are in the Triangle....I'm convinced there's a conspiracy theory going on here but I can't prove it just yet. Don't worry. Conspiracy theory or not, that's a good thing for all of us ABCs/bananas[1] who…More »
I can haz internetz? (Free Wifi in the Triangle) (28)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. |
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! |
Ahhhhh......fish & chips or chips & fish? (5)The magic formula: fish, batter, oil and potatoes. Tastings from all over - local (Triangle) and elsewhere of where I satisfy my greasy sea cravings. |
