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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Sauced Pizza Delivers
There has been quite the debate on good pizza in downtown Raleigh. My favorite spot has always been Moonlight Pizza on the corner of Morgan and Boylan. They prepare a fresh upscale version at a fair price of your typical pizzeria cuisine. I love their pizzas, tortellini, spaghetti and meatballs and that incredible spinach salad.
But [...]
Paying for Parking Not Sitting Well with Downtowners
“Dear DSutton,
I was wondering how you felt about the new parking rate increase in Downtown Raleigh.
- Michelle”
Dear Michelle,
Thank you for your question that you sent me regarding the parking in Downtown Raleigh. I think that the City of Raleigh is making a huge mistake by implementing pay-to-park stations all over downtown Raleigh. Although $1/hour is [...]
The Farmer’s Market Restaurant Gets a Makeover
The Farmer’s Market Restaurant has been serving some of the best breakfast and lunch food in the Triangle for decades. Originally opened on Hodges Road in 1955, the previous owner, Jackie Watkins, moved the restaurant to its current location in 1991 when the Farmer’s Market was moved to its new location.

Asian Market in Starmont Shopping Center on Capital Spurs Some Adventures
As some of you know, I’ve been settled in at home for a couple of weeks recuperating after 3 surgeries. I’ve been trying to get up and move about the house, visiting with neighbors and getting a lot of rest but today I thought I needed to join a friend on a little adventure to get this body of [...]
