When it comes to ethnic eats, I’m willing to travel long and far for great examples of interesting cuisines. Over the course of the past year, Ni Armor’s Hawaiian and Polynesian BBQ hit my foodie radar screen. Hawaiian and Polynesian eats are something I rarely run into, even when I lived in California, so after …
When it comes to barbeque in the Triangle area, we are now awash in smokers and smoked meats, hooray! So when I heard about Moe’s Original BBQ coming to Durham, I was a bit excited and curious.

But one spot that I had forgotten over time was Smokey’s BBQ Shack over in Morrisville, not far from the airport. I remember driving by it …
I don’t know about you but when I travel, I often take advantage of being on the road by stuffing myself full of high-calorie food. Let’s face it, when you’re flying from airport to airport, it’s hard to find meals that go beyond the local Applebee’s-TGIF-Ruby Tuesday trifecta.
