Restaurant Reviews from Ron Wen

Growing up I had the luxury of a mom who could REALLY cook and I’m pretty certain that early introduction to great food sparked my own, life-long passion! Over the years I’ve taught myself to cook pretty well so I’ve really learned to appreciate all the work and effort that restaurants put into their operations and taking care of their customers. And I think it’s truly important for any area to develop a food scene and an appreciation for all sorts of cuisines. Life is far too short to be having bad meals and not dabble in all the wonders of the culinary world!

Best New Restaurants and Bars in the Triangle, 2022 Edition

January 11, 2023 by Ron Wen

2022 was a very interesting year for the dining and bar scene in the NC Triangle! What struck me as a bit different in 2022 was a heavier mix of quick-casual restaurants along with a spurt of businesses that opened up towards the end of the year. Several spots that made my Best New Restaurants …

As we lean into 2023, I always love taking a look back at the food scene in the NC Triangle! Over the 13+ years that I’ve been a food blogger, it’s always fun to see the progress we make from year to year. Given the lingering pandemic, we opened 2022 with a bit of cynicism …

Superica in Cary for a Bright and Spicy Take on Tex-Mex Eats

December 18, 2022 by Ron Wen

As a fan of authentic Mexican eats, I’d have to say that Tex-Mex might be a close second, given its roots in the Southwest and strong connections to Mexican cuisine but with an American spin. And we don’t have a ton of strong Tex-Mex restaurant options in the area (Chuy’s, Torchy’s Tacos) which makes the …
