Watauga County – Boone: Coyote Kitchen: Taos Boat The menu at Coyote Kitchen says: Sazon Chicken, Cornbread, Black Beans, Fried Sweet Potatoes, Roasted Corn, Sweet Plantains, Tomatoes, Quesadilla Cheese & Chipotle Cream Cheese. Spicy and sweet and the chicken was fantastically kicky. Their salsas were amazing, too, especially the cranberry chipotle.

eats in the thrill: 411 west
A Chapel Hill classic, I hadn’t been here in years and Trav had never been before we took his folks there this past weekend. Their whole menu is great – the antipasto tray was spectacular – but I do love their pizettes. This one was sourced from all NC farms.
