The Best Restaurants and Bars in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill
If you’re a fan of frozen treats and ice cream, you may have heard about Thai ice cream rolls. I had run into a Youtube video online a couple of years ago and ice cream rolls puts a spin on the ice cream making process! Instead of churning cream, sugar and toppings over some hours …
Famous Toastery, Cary - Dishing out great and classic American sandwiches with fresh sides and excellent service. Toast Cafe brings new flavor to Waverly Place
Along with beer and brewery boom here in North Carolina, one other type of storefront has proliferated: the bottle shop! A place where you can sample some craft brews or grab a specialty 4-pack to enjoy at home. And usually they have one thing in common, no food! But they usually give you the option …
While Cary may trail behind Raleigh and Durham in terms of population, it certainly does a fine job in the area of interesting, flavorful ethnic restaurants. Some of my hidden gem faves (Kababish Cafe-Pakistani, Bosphorus-Turkish, Super Wok-Szechuan) are all in Cary!

Known for their rustic, artisan French loaves, I’ve always been a huge fan of their bread and pastries over the years. But thankfully for my waist-line, they remain safely out of arm’s reach in central Cary. But …
As a pizza aficionado, I am so glad to be seeing all the high-quality pies that have come to the Triangle over the past two years! While we always had good NY thin-slice pizza, Neapolitan was always sort of rare but not any more! And the recent addition of Pizzeria Faulisi in downtown continues that …
You know what? I love exploring the Triangle to find hidden gems and one thing I’ve learned over the years is to never underestimate Cary. While it has its fair share of chain restaurants and bland dining options, it also has pockets of great ethnic eats, full of flavor and reasonably priced. I recently came …
