Whata bout chocolate cake?
Tue, 12/29/2009 - 13:01 — JohnRoyThis is a good list and with all such lists there are bound to be complaints or items pointed out...
What about cakes? Cakes should be on top of this list. I have read something very interesting about chocolate cake and Dark chocolate lately.
Scientists have now proven, DARK chocolate (my very favorite) is now healthy and good to eat on a daily basis. If you are one who CRAVES chocolate, are a pre-menopausal or post menopausal woman, are a child, work in a chocolate factory, etc., this is the greatest thing to be discovered since sliced bread.
John,

BTW, last I checked, Ben and Karen, the James Beard award winners you derisively refer to have been around for almost 30 years. Roast Grill since the 40s. Time Out as long as I can remember. Southern Season since 1979. Crook's since 1982. Angus Barn in the 60s.

No Seaboard Cafe? Really?
Sun, 07/12/2009 - 14:57 — Raleigh_RouserThe Seaboard Cafe has been there for 18 years. It has wonderful food, and healthy selections. They were healthy way before all of this recent wave. How in the world did it not make this list?
Triangle Top 50
Sat, 07/11/2009 - 09:17 — WCARoweI find it really shocking that you excluded Giorgios Bakatsias from your Top 50. He is responsible for so much of the evolution of the dining scene in and across the Triangle that you, yourselves, (whomever made up this list) must be newcomers! Each of the GHG restaurants was, in it's time and still is, a unique concept to this area and in the case of some, unique to the restaurant industry. For the N&O to provide years and years of praise of GB's talents and them omit him from your list makes me wonder if you had amnesia or forgot to check your N&O archives' column inches devoted to Bakatsias' ventures when making up your list. While it's nice to profile Beard Award winners and female chefs, and , other, new fangled "local restaurant chains", get back to us in 20 years and let me know if they are still standing!
Check number 16 - Cafe
Mon, 07/20/2009 - 15:30 — MeganMarieCheck number 16 - Cafe Parizade is a GHG restaurant; one of his better creations along with Vin Rouge, in my estimation. I have never been to the vegan Thanksgiving celebration but Parizade is always a good standby for lunch meetings in Durham for me and my colleagues. I am on the fence as to whether it belongs in the Top 50 of the Triangle but out of towners are impressed with the vivid decor and professionalism of the staff.
This article has helped me immensely with my own list of To Do's, although my Top 50 would have included Saint- Jacques on Falls of the Neuse and Humble Pie on Harrington. 50 Fabulous reasons I'm proud to be a Raleigh native!
Now I'm Hongry...
Re: WCARowe
Sun, 07/12/2009 - 20:57 — PigloaderI had to read this twice to make sure it wasn't a joke. I'll grant you that Bakatsias was partially responsible for the birth of the local fine dining scene in the mid eighties. Save for Vin Rouge, however, he has not had a restaurant with his name attached that has put out good food in several years. Name me one of his restaurants that puts out anything other than mediocre food in a big fancy room. The man has taste in dining room decor, but he has long since lost the ability to judge talent in the kitchen or on the floor, and it shows across the board in every one of his restaurants. For the most part, this list pays tribute to some local talents who have more than enough ability to keep them going for the long haul-- and who aren't resting on their laurels.
BTW, last I checked, Ben and Karen, the James Beard award winners you derisively refer to have been around for almost 30 years. Roast Grill since the 40s. Time Out as long as I can remember. Southern Season since 1979. Crook's since 1982. Angus Barn in the 60s. Seems to me that the veterans the editors of this list, rather than being 'newcomers,' just chose not to include people who didn't make the grade.
Why not turn Dix Hill into a food "park"?
Sat, 07/11/2009 - 07:51 — Joseph_de_MaistreNothing brings people together like good food. You wanna see racial harmony, get in line at the K&S cafeteria! Food is the basis of culture. I just made that up...a little bold, maybe, but what would Italy and France be without food? We have an authentic, indigenous tradition to celebrate and cultivate, as many area chefs are already doing. But why not take the next step and become the community of Education, Technology, Government, ~and~ Food. Why not a world-class culinary school on the Dix campus? Why not endless gardens that are social and horticultural experiments? Why not a focus there for Goodness Grows in NC and all of the state's (and NC State's) related interests. Why not the pig-cookin' world championship event? Let's give a hand to the "slow (local) food" movement and to vegetarian cuisine. Let's have the world's best baked goods and the most fabulous strawberries. Let's bring people together at the table!
Thank you for not mentioning....

Fri, 07/10/2009 - 11:29 — JennifertI'd have died out here in Cary without Maximillians. 20 years ago, we just had a few chains. I thank Gail and Michael S. that they have continued to provide great offerings for so many years.

So many....
Thu, 07/09/2009 - 11:17 — arthurb3There are just so many places in the Triangle. Each individual would have a long list alone!!
Very well done
Thu, 07/09/2009 - 10:34 — sdattaI would like to add a few to the list.
1. While Counter Culture coffee's reputation is well-deserved there are other very good coffee roasters in the area: Larry's Beans in Raleigh, Joe Van Gogh in Hillsborough, and Carrboro Coffee Company in Carboro. Carrboro CC also operates two outstanding coffee shops in Chapel Hill (Cafe Driade) and Carrboro (Open Eye Cafe) that are super cool and have award winning baristas making your coffee.
2. Matthews Chocolates in Hillsborough is making the most interesting and delectable chocolates in the Triangle. His background in perfumary gives him a unique talent that he brings to his chocolates.

Wed, 07/08/2009 - 20:52 — hrdware you kidding me? who comes up with this stuff? have you ever gone to 109 e. davie st, in
raleigh, nc? it's been there since 1938, it's called CLYDE COOPER'S BBQ. go look at the awards
that business has won because of the quality of bbq and food they serve. they do a hugh
business during the day, not to mention, their catering business. this is a business that still
does things the way the original owner start on january 1, 1938!!! and as for a "pit master"
james bolton has cooked at cooper's for nearly 30 years. they cook upstairs on two hugh pits!!!
Ms. What????
Top 5O
Wed, 07/08/2009 - 13:53 — carolinalivinThis is a good list and with all such lists there are bound to be complaints or items pointed out. So, here goes....
1. How can you define Sandwhich as a newcomer? It's been here since at least 2007. I would add Local Yogurt to that group of Newcomers along with Globe and Savoy and several others.
2. Speaking of Local Yogurt, how about Matthew Beeson?
3. To add to the food competitions is Chapel Hill's Maple View Farms run
4. I don't believe the State Fair food items should be a part of this list. For one, they travel and 2 there isn't anything distinctive about them. It's not like they are making garlic flavored ice cream.
5. Is Tookie's so much better than a Village Deli chicken salad? I don't honestly know...
6. Not included in the BBQ talk.. Clyde Cooper's (tsk tsk)
7. I'm surprised George Bakatsias (sp?) wasn't on the list.
Others I would add to the list... Four Square, La Vaquita, Jujube (or it's chef), a few more local breweries, Duck and Dumpling (for it's longevity alone) and well I'm sure there are a slew of others.. Surprisingly this did seem very Durham, Chapel Hill, Carrboro centric .. Maybe it would be better to do a list per quarter (one for Durham, Cary/apex, Raleigh, Chapel Hill/Carrboro.. and maybe Hillsborough and Fuquay)
Top 50
Wed, 07/08/2009 - 07:18 — DeeMany thanks for hailing the outstanding food purveyors in our region, of which there are too many to count. But let's not forget the 250 sustainable farms on the rural fringe of the greater Triangle area which grow this outstanding food, and the Sustainable Agriculture Program at Central Carolina Community College in Pittsboro, which helps new farmers get started and has attracted so many to our region. Chatham County deserves special credit as a fertile landscape for so many of the pioneering farmers, activists and entrepreneurs behind the Triangle's local real-food scene.
