In 2021, it was great to see the food scene recover a bit from the pandemic. Restaurants took a peek out of the darkness and realized things were going to get better, relatively speaking. One restaurant group that has been super busy is Giorgio’s Hospitality group. Based out of Durham but with restaurants in Chapel …
When it comes to cuisines, many people love the classic and delicious take around French cuisine. And in the Triangle, while there are certainly multiple choices for French food, there aren’t a ton of options. So the recent opening of Bluebird out in Chapel Hill caught my eye.

It’s interesting how some locations for restaurants seem to be tough for new businesses or restaurants. One spot that has seen a huge turn-over in terms of concepts is 359 Blackwell Street which is tucked between DPAC and the Durham Bulls Ballpark.

When it comes to restaurant hype, I try to be immune to it since often enough or not, it’s just a case of hyperbole and PR. But every now and then, a restaurant meets that foodie hype which is a really pleasant surprise. If you’re a fan of Tex-Mex cuisine, I’m happy to say that …
