Today was a very laid back Monday. Not on purpose, but it just “was.” Michael and I recorded The Man Who Ate the Town, talked about the Carolina Classic Fair, Farm 2 Fourth, Eat Drink Burger Week, and more. I also had a great conversation with Chef Brian DePaulis from Providence when I visited them last week. You should give it a listen. You can do that here. I’d really appreciate a “subscribe,” a like, a review, and a rating. It would help me tremendously!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

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.

Salutations™!!

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.

Today on The Man Who Ate the Town, Ray and I discuss a “hidden” dress code for a local restaurant and why people are losing their minds. Or, better yet, WHY ARE people losing their minds over this? This and other restaurant/food news. Listen to the episode here.

You have food news? Let me know so I can let my listeners know.

Salutations™!!

Tonight, The BCPF and I were able to get together with The Joneses, The Lowders, The Verners, and “Our Jim” Young at one of my favorite restaurants in town, Diamondback Grill.

We have all spent time together in our yard, socially distanced, but not in a restaurant (at least not all of us) since before the pandemic. Last night was amazing. A lot of laughter. A lot of catching up. A lot of great beverages. A lot of great food. Dean, our server was amazing. Special thanks to Kimberly and Murphy Gregg for having such a great restaurant and for taking such good care of us. Our first outing was a success!! There will be plenty more!

From bottom clockwise: Paden, Stacy, Paul, Susan, Jon, Me, The BCPF, Celeste, Jim.

Salutations™!!

Today, I decided to go out and check on some of the restaurants that are my “accounts” (those A-L) that have little to no social media updates or social media to speak of at all. In the middle of that, I found about 10 places that weren’t on the list, which makes me happy. I like making sure we have all that we are missing. So, I got to get out of the house and it was a fruitful trip. I dug it. WSStrong1

We are now at over 300 entries on the list. Some are closed, some got changed to different statuses and some added services. You can see the updated list by visiting here.
