Today on The Man Who Ate the Town, I introduced Michael Hastings, my friend and food editor for the Winston-Salem Journal. Michael is my new co-host and will be with me as he can. Understandably, he is a busy dude in the Winston-Salem/Triad area food scene. So, I understand he may not be there every week, but I hope that he will be there most weeks. We talked about the future of restaurants, the industry, struggles, comings, goings, and more. You can listen here.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

Today on The Man Who Ate the Town, we said goodbye to Ray as my co-host. He was with me for about 120 episodes, give or take one or two. I got to go to the opening of Culver’s first Triad location. I went on a couple of rants, too. All that and more. You can hear that episode here.

I won’t have a TMWATT this coming Monday for two reasons, 1) it’s Labor Day and 2) I’m on vacation.

Until tomorrow same blog channel…

This week on The Man Who Ate the Town, I go on a rant about anti-vaxxers. Yeah, I don’t do a lot of political things and this rant isn’t about politics. I know people on both sides of the aisle that are refusing to get it. I’m sure they have their reasons but, still… I’m not going into it here, as it’s not the forum. I will direct you to the podcast episode so you can hear it. Go here for that.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

This week on The Man Who Ate the Town, Ray and I talk with Zena and (Mama) Zoë from Yamas to talk about TWO new Yamas locations that they are opening. One on the western side of town and one on a local private university. You can listen to hear where here.

I’d appreciate a rating or review (whichever, if any, way that your prefered podcatcher platform allows) on The Man Who Ate the Town, or any of the TLD Network shows. Be sure to subscribe to know when new episodes come out.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

This week, the city lost a restaurant that has grown to become a staple. We lost Crafted – Art of the Taco. We talk about that on TMWATT podcast. I also review The BCPF’s and my trip to Raku Ramen and a lot more. You can hear that episode here.

Today on The Man Who Ate the Town, I flew solo. Ray had something he needed to take care of and I didn’t ask anyone else to come in to help. I talked about Peach Brothers’ peaches and the dishes I made with those peaches. Alma Mexicana, places closed for the week (as is a usual thing for this holiday week), and much more. You can hear that here.

We didn’t do The Beer Dads this week.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Yesterday was Memorial Day and man did we feast. The whole family was there. My friends over at Mr. Barbecue hooked me up with some delicious victuals to share with my tribe. We had a pan of Mr. Barbecue’s famous pulled pork and “B” sauce. We had their baked beans, potato salad, white (cole) slaw, barbecue (red) slaw and they sent along two packages of buns. We chowed down on all of it. It was so good and so much fun to be able to reintroduce my family to what is, in my opinion, the best barbecue in town. Thank you to Jimmy Carros and his crew over at Mr. Barbecue for an incredible Memorial Day meal.

They now have a drive-thru and were able to retain their grandfathered status even after the fire and kept the wood-fired ovens that made their bbq so delicious. They have extended hours from 1030a-930p. So much deliciousness over there. When you go, tell them that The Man Who Ate the Town sent you!!!

The BCPF works for a non-profit that is a trade association for multi-family housing in the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina. Their big award ceremony for the industry is called the Diamond Awards. It’s virtual this year, as it was last year. They wanted to have a video from a local food person to give something that people could make at home or have a watch party. She put out a call to local chefs and things were busy for all of them. I took the opportunity to bring our boy, 3B in to do his thing. While I know it was work for him and he was a bit uncomfortable, he did a great job and I believe this is just the beginning of his food journey. I hope you enjoy the first video shot of an 18-year old chef-in-training.

Today is Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day. Because I have one of those, I want to honor her today. Her name is Kristen Norton from Well Balanced Nutrition and I know I’ve talked to about her on this blog before. She has been working with me, making me healthier and has been my health rock, just after The BCPF, of course. But, she’s not scary and doesn’t make you “give up” all your favorite foods. She just helps you make smart choices. She’s awesome, really. She and her/our friend Eleanor Russell have their own podcast, too. It’s called The Health Geeks Book Club podcast and is produced by Yours Truly. It’s a good one. Thank you for everything Kristen!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
