Salutations™!!

Last week, The BCPF and I went to Mozzarella Fellas for the first time. It was pretty darn good. Over on the blog for The Man Who Ate the Town, I wrote a blog about the experience. You can read that right HERE.  I’ll post a pic that was on TMWATT Instagram but not on the story. Heck, I’ll post two!

Tonight I got to attend a soft opening of a restaurant that will be fully opening soon. And, with that invitation came two more spots. The BCPF was already committed to something, I instead took my boy, 3B, and my nephew, Ryan.

We got to chow down on a wealth of food, but it was the entire experience I wanted to teach the boys. To be honest, be good at what you do and to keep a good name. Also, don’t pester the crap out of folks about things. Just let your work, personality, friendships, and reputation do their jobs.

I’m not talking about the food (which was delicious) in this post (I’m saving that for The Man Who Ate the Town), but mainly the lesson of what hard work and perseverance do for you. They had a good time and I feel they learned something. If I go on about it then I’m just repeating myself and you aren’t wanting to read all that, I suppose. It is my opinion that what I have said is important in getting along in life and in business.

Today on The Man Who Ate the Town podcast, it was a slow food week, really, but I did talk about my pal Chef Travis Myers becoming a finalist in the NCRLA Chef Showdown. I also wrote a blog post about that over on the TMWATT site. Also, in news that Ma Mère will be disappointed in, ChefSmart is closing next month.

Hear the episode HERE. Read the blog post HERE.

Salutations™!!

So, here we are, three days in a row that I’ve had a piggyback-worthy post from The Man Who Ate the Town. But, I am proud of the fact that I was featured in an article from Michael Breedlove for Winston-Salem Monthly Magazine about being “The Man Who Ate the Town.”

Because I can be verbose, and it’s already been said the best it could in the article, I’m going to post those here so you can read them for yourself if you’re so inclined, Dear Reader.

The article is HERE.
The TMWATT post is HERE.

Thanks to Michael Breedlove and all the folks over at Winston-Salem Monthly!

Until tomorrow, which may or may not be about food…

I recorded The Man Who Ate the Town podcast a day early. Kelly was out again because she suffered a freak accident at Heavy Rebel Weekender this past weekend. Anywhat! I talk about First Street Draught House, Acadia Foods and my experience at the Biscuitville Headquarters two weeks ago. You can listen to the episode HERE.

Look for the blog post about Biscuitville on the TMWATT blog as well. It should be there in the next few days.

Piggybackin’ from The Lab or: How Many Coffee Shops Does It Take?

Salutations™!!coffee

Today on The Man Who Ate the Town Podcast, I flew solo as Kelly had to work and my scheduled guest had to reschedule. It’s okay. I talked about the 146 coffee shops in the downtown-ish area, things that are moving and July 4th, along with other things. It was the shortest episode I’ve recorded in several months. However, I want Kelly to come back soon so we can do the regular-length/regular-style podcast. You can listen to the episode HERE.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!26907311_10210873231175057_7690056051302794865_n

So, this week on The Man Who Ate the Town Podcast, Kelly and I talked about Penny Path Café and Crêpes Shop opening, as well as revisiting some listener email as we were able to update some things. I don’t know much about the Penny Path Café but the pictures of the space look really great! There is actually a penny path in there. I’d love to see what Miro and his folks have done to the old Pane e Vino location. I hope they do well.

We are also offering up a new poll that you can answer on TMWATT page, as well.

Last week’s poll had Waffle House being the winner. I think there was confusion as to what we were looking for, but WH is what we picked as the winner.

You can listen to this week’s episode and take this week’s poll HERE.
