We were starving and decided to try out Hot Point Café, located at 4209 Lassiter Mill Road (suite 136). There was a little line and the restaurant was near to being crowded but... Continue reading→

Lilly’s Pizza
If you’ve ever been in the Five Points area, you’ve probably seen (or smelled!) Lilly’s Pizza, located at 1813 Glenwood Avenue.

Sawmill Tap Room
After a long day at the beach on Father’s day, we were starving. We’d gotten home pretty late and nobody wanted to cook. We didn’t feel like fast food so we decided to head over to Sawmill Tap Room. It’s pretty close to us and you can eat on the casual dining room side of... Continue reading→

Best bbq?
Summer is almost here! We’ve already fired up the grill a few times while enjoying the spring weather. What are some of your tried-and-true methods for making the best barbecue ever? Do you oven cook or boil ribs before grilling? Do you wrap in tin foil or toss on the grill? Baste with BBQ sauce before, during... Continue reading→
Paparazzi or Flop-arazzi?

Captain Stanleys Seafood North Raleigh
Captain Stanley’s Seafood located in Sutton Square. I was in the mood for seafood. Big Time. I had the option of buying some from Fresh Market (also in Sutton Square), or checking out Captain Stanley’s. Since I am a 20 something bachelor I went for having someone else do the cooking today. I checked in... Continue reading→
Panera Bread at Triangle Town Center
Looking for something different for lunch the other day, we decided to stop in at Panera Bread near Triangle Town Center. It’s across Capital Boulevard from Triangle mall, in the same plaza as Total Wine and Best Buy. It is easy to get in to this location, but sometimes parking can be a beast especially...
