Damn portofinos was also the spot.

Does the bagelry still deliver or has that been relegated to the gig economy? I used to get overstuffed bagelicious delivered as a hangover cure many moons ago.

Not sure. I used to use the hell out of Boone Takeout when I was in school. They were DoorDash before that was even an idea

I used to go to Parthenon for $.25 wings which also no longer exists.

Most of the places that I used to go to when I lived there don't exist anymore except for Macado's and Boone Saloon and those were the two (especially the saloon) that I went to the least.

Portofino's is also closed/demolished.

 

 

God the owner Nick stories from Parthenon were always something else lol.

I'm old. Boone Saloon was Caribbean Cafe.  Wild Craft was Blues BBQ. Tapp Room was Klondike. Murpheys was on 105

Those were great times

Yeah all those things existed during my life. By the time I could drink the old Murphy's had burned down and moved to downtown though.

I worked at 3 restaurants that are long gone. Solecitos, Charlie Horse, and Mining Company.

 

My first restaurant job ever was at Woodlands in blowing rock which is also now closed

Heard it went downhill fast after being purchased by Pedalling Pig.

I have great memories of going up there for liquor drinks and Q

Yeah well Jim and Butch are old as poo. I'm surprised they held on so long before finally selling and retiring

That place defined bbq for me. Not sure it was the best but at the time I sure thought it was.

It was very very good all the way until the end.

[Floppin]

I used to have to get there at 6am to light the apple wood fires in the giant rotisseries in those metals buildings out back. Smoking hundreds of half chickens and racks of ribs every day

Damn so Woodland’s fully closed now? I had heard it wasn’t great after the ownership change. My family loved that place but my parents went last year and said it wasn’t good anymore

Well I'm not sure. It's probably still open but as far as I'm concerned it's closed lol

Would love to go to Boone for this..I am 45 min away...but will be a traffic nightmare.  I can only imagine what it was like for the UNC game.  The roads in that area not designed for this stuff.

Whaaaaaat? I live 2 hours away and was able to go to both home games without any issues with traffic both coming and going,
