In Raleigh....well, Durham for training all week. New job haaaaay

Any suggestions on bars and restaurants to go to while I'm here? Breweries other than Red Oak? Themed restaurants?

Went to an Italian place called Serena's I think for lunch today. Was pretty good!

Would love any other suggestions for anything delicious....Thai and Mexican are my big time favorites

Red Oak is around 45 minutes from Durham...more breweries actually in the Triangle like Aviator in Fuquay, too.

 

Thai, no experience there. I've had a friend eat a Thai Cafe before, but know nothing about it other than it's Yelp page.  Mexican, Nana Taco in Durham is pretty good (actually serves lengua and actual Mexican things). Also has a nicer upscale place beside it called Nana's that's more everything. Cosmic Cantina is good.

 

Go to Downtown Durham (in a group...it's better now, but still can be sketchy) and the American Tobacco campus has plenty of good places to eat. The Durham Bulls Athletic Park (DBAP) is right there, and things like Tyler's Taproom, Cuban Revolution, and Tobacco Road are there. Tobacco Road is a more upscale type sports bar, connected to the baseball field. Literally, home runs have come onto the patio over the left field fence. For BBQ if you want, Ed Mitchell's new place Que is open now in the same area. The Pit is also in Raleigh (his old place) and is great. Couple holes in the wall around too like Bullock's in Durham which is good. Bull City Burger and Brewery has a great burger in Durham. If you eat Sushi, go to Shiki in Durham near Southpoint. BYGO rolls and most I've had were fantastic.

 

Want to spend some money, Second Empire, Angus Barn, and many others in Raleigh. May be cliche, but just get on Yelp or Urbanspoon. Durham and Raleigh both have turned into foodie cities/been featured in magazines with the rise of restaurants and chefs like Ashley Christensen coming in.

PhillyB's post made me think too...if you're in Raleigh, just get a cab to take you to Fayetteville St./somewhere downtown and there's a good 10-15 places within a block or two that are great for food or drinks. Busy Bee, Raleigh Times. Beasley's, and a lot of highly reviewed ethnic cuisines and more upscale places if you want to splurge one night.

drive an hour and a half due west on I40 and goto Ziggys in Winston Salem

I use to go to their old location on Deacon Blvd when I was younger.  Use to bounce around between Ziggy's, Baity's Backstreet Music Garden and the Brass Bucket.  Saw David Allen Coe at Ziggy's, Foghat at Baity's, and my friend greg sang at the Brass bucket.  I think that was all in the same month, although the memory is hazy for a number of reasons.  :)

Thanks for the advice guys! I'll see what the team is down for tomorrow.

I know Red Oak isn't here...I only mentioned it BC I went to Elon and passed it on my way. Brings back memories!

Looks like they are really doing well now. They built it while I was in school.

What does it say about your city when I'm more worried about the law than I am the citizens? Durham quickly established itself as another one of those cities where the cops like to shoot first and ask questions later a few years back and the Police Chief is a real piece of work.

 

The Assistant Chief of Police is suing the Chief of Police and the City for alleged civil rights violations. Nice.

Been watching Last Week Tonight lately? Don't roll around with large amounts of cash

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
