I posted about this on Instagram, but I wanted to put it somewhere more permanent than stories. Because of a recovery conversation where I learned that Trav has never eaten at Olive Garden, we have decided to go on a tour of major American chain restaurants. We’re four in so far, and I’m going to…

100 foods in 100 counties: buncombe county
Buncombe County – Asheville – 12 Bones Smokehouse: Baby Back Ribs Another entry for my 100 foods in 100 counties project! The fact is, I am not a Ribs Person. Generally I find them too much work for too little payout. That is not the fact at 12 Bones Smokehouse. They are well worth the…
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.

eats: a week of food
Hello, food! Lo these many years ago when I turned 30 and freaked out, I made a life list, and it was full of items that involved eating. Here, as I approach 40 and feel pretty good about it, I am still into eating, and I’ve been making my happy fat way through some of…
