Local Love

IMG_9622

It’s so secret that I’m a huge foodie! But as much as I love being in the kitchen, I also really enjoy checking out restaurants, sweet shops, breweries, and bars – especially those that you’ll only find in my little corner of the world. If ever there was a poster child for NC love, it would be me! I am passionate about mom-and-pop kind of places, chefs that source their ingredients locally, ethically, seasonally, and sustainably, business that care about keeping the community thriving, and of course all things NC! I have such love for my home state – the people, the history, the food, the flavor – I’m excited to get to share it!

Credit for this new part of my blog is owed to my little sister, who has been after me to add some local restaurant review flair for ages. I am by no means a food critic or any sort of professional.  Really these posts are just my impressions of the joints I visit. This page serves as an index of sorts for all of the places and events in NC that I’ve written about on this blog.
