Triangle Top 50 Food Magazine

Andrea Weigl of The News & Observer has compiled an interactive list of the top 50 Triangle food icons. This is truly amazing. Everything from the VarmintBites blog to Ed Mitchell, women chefs, J.Betski’s, the World Beer Festival, Tookie’s chicken salad, and the Carrboro Farmer’s Market is included. Of course there are some notable absences, but that just goes to show how the Triangle has become one of the top foodie destinations in the country. Check it out.

In the Spotlight: Foundation Bar

In the Spotlight: Foundation Bar

For the inaugural edition of a new feature series In the Spotlight, designed to highlight local destinations that stand out among the crowd, I decided to shine the spotlight on Foundation Bar because of their inventive seasonal cocktails, commitment to North Carolina draft beers, stunning architectural design, and of course, their new Summer drink menu. I recently sat down with Foundation’s owners and head bartender, Drew, to sample several drinks from the new menu and can say without hesitation that these are the best cocktails I have ever tasted. Thankfully they were generous enough to allow me to take some pictures of the new drinks which I have published below the fold.
