Gateway Restaurant – YUM!
I’ve mentioned Gateway before but I have not written a proper review of one of my all time favorite lunch spots. So here it goes.
Gateway Restaurant is situated in the Gateway Shopping Center on the corner of Capital Blvd and Crabtree Creek Road. The shopping center also houses a few pawn shops and a handful [...]

Turkey Fryer and Christmas Tree Fires – Oh My!
This Raleigh Native ventured out to the Cary Fire Department to witness how fast a Christmas Tree can go up in smoke and how you could seriously injure yourself frying a turkey on Thanksgiving!
In just under 2 minutes the Christmas Tree was completely engulfed with flames bursting in height over 15 feet. The turkey was [...]
Fried Green Tomato Napoleon
I love homegrown tomatoes! This is the perfect time of year to start plucking those last few green tomatoes off you plants and bring them in to fry them up! They are probably not going to ripen out there in the cold.
This past weekend, we hit up Bistro 1866 in downtown Asheville because The Lobster [...]
State Fair
Even on a Wednesday night, the night before can food night, the State Fair was pretty packed. Lines for the rides weren’t that long but lines for the Wisconsin Cheese were at least 40 deep. Seemed like everyone had the same idea to head out to the fair and eat dinner.
Typically, I’m not one for [...]
Raleigh Sushi
Vacation had taken me away from the blog for two weeks but while I was out I found myself eating sushi everywhere I went.
Starting out here in Raleigh, I hit up Sushi Blues on Glenwood South with a friend. I had not been there since I lived at the Pine State Creamery building about 6 [...]
DPAC Brings Imagination to the Stage
I’ve been making the trek to Durham for the past few months but never get to stop in and really enjoy the culture that Durham has to offer. Of course I stop by Guglehupf, Blue Coffee, and Foster’s Market every chance I get but to actually stop, enjoy and see what our neighboring city has [...]
Boylan Bridge Brewpub – Add Bacon
It’s taken me a while to finally get around to writing a full post on Boylan Bridge Brewpub but better late than never! It came to me last night when I was having a Happy Hour drink with a couple of friends after a long Monday. They asked me about where a great place to [...]
Things to do, see, and eat in Raleigh
Hey Raleigh Native,
If you’re looking for a blog idea one day, you should make a list of the must see places in Raleighfor people visiting from out of town. When I have family or friends coming in town that have never been here before, it’s always hard to figure out what to do with them [...]
St. Augustine College Welcomes Back Students
This morning I took the shorter route to work which drives me past St. Augustine College where they were out in the middle of the street welcoming back their new and returning students! I wish that someone would make me a balloon arch!
But of course, and this is why I usually choose the slightly longer [...]
