So in honor of that commitment, here’s a little tip from me to you. The Wine Sampler in Wilmington (4107-I Oleander Drive) is having a sale this week (October 7-13) on [...]

Panini and Pommes Frites at Press 102
If you’re ever strolling in lovely downtown Wilmington some afternoon, and want to grab an inexpensive but delicious lunch, check out Press 102 inside the Hotel Tarrymore. You don’t have to actually enter the hotel; Press 102 is right off of Second Street, just past the corner of Second [...]

Last night I had dinner with the Meetup Group Wilmington Dining Adventurists at Caffe Phoenix, and it was grand. There were around 40 of us, and we were accommodated graciously and efficiently.
I’m pretty excited about this group, because I can tell it’s going to be active, and offer lots of interesting and fun foodie adventures. [...]

I recently worked a wine dinner at Temptations and wanted to share the behind the scenes fun.
I’ve said it before: if you love food and wine and want to learn more about the whole subculture of people and pleasures that field encompasses, and you want the opportunity to try lots of great food and wine [...]

Oh hallelujah and finally, yes, I ate at Catch on Market Street, a pilgrimage I’ve been wanting to make for a loooong time. Oh boy, was it ever good.

I went with [...]

Kymberlei DiNapoli of Taste the Olive
If you love to cook, and you really prize using the finest ingredients – the very best and freshest olive oils and vinegars, for example – then you are going to want to visit Taste the Olive, pronto.

Le Catalan, Wilmington, NC
Because I am and have been a server off and on for a few years, when I get great service, it leaves an impression. (For example, I wrote about the great service my friends and I enjoyed at Circa 1922 back in January of this year from Bill. Bill was awesome.)
Recently some [...]

Fried Mac & Cheese, seriously delicious (pic by Carolyn Morgan)
I cannot be-lieve my luck! I happened upon the best fried thing I ever ate last Saturday, at this adorable little restaurant downtown called The Eat Spot. And as an added bonus, I had a pretty damn good salad there too. But really, who cares about [...]

A quick shout-out to my buddy and co-worker, Michael, who landed (again) among Wilmington’s Top Ten Chefs this year, this year making it into the Top Three . . . .Way to go, Michael!
He’s not only very, very good at what he does, he’s hands down the nicest chef I’ve ever worked with. No drama, no bad behavior, no weirdness, no treating [...]
