Triangle Food Scene

**ChiefJoJo** · July 16, 2008

^ I think they are 11-11 Mon-Sat. I was there at about 1030 last Sat night, and it was mostly dead, although it was admittedly way after dinner. They just got their liquor license and are trying to gauge the evening crowds. Lunch has been crowded from what I've seen and dinner should be helped a bit when RBC Plaza condos open up.

Here's the revised N&O article on Yancys. Says he might reopen later. It's really important, i think, to have that space open for the convention center this fall.

What are the hours? With Alibi and Slims on the same axis, some late night slice business might be order, but I am not sure what Bender is aiming for. It looks cool through the window.

only open until 10 now, but they plan on staying open later after being up & running for a while. This is my new favorite pizza in Raleigh.

Martin St. Pizza still seems to be evolving. The slice I got the day after they opened was not as good as the slice I got recently; that first slice was still good though. One of the guys there told me they are still working on things, so once it is up and running at 100%, I think it will be a huge draw.

Martin St. Pizza had two tables full at 7pm last night (Tue). (that includes my table)

Yancy's may really be closed this time.

Went to Martin Street last night with a friend. We had gone out for a walk and decided to stop in as my friend was related to one of the employees that is a cook there; wanted to say hi. They said that they have had a lot, like numerous, complaints within just the last few days over their pizza dough. They changed the recipe and I guess it's not working out. I inquired as to when things should be back on the upside and they said that next week things should be better.

They said they're still tweaking the menu, working on the atmosphere, and I saw the owner. He's the older (as in grey haired) guy that can be seen running around everywhere. Seemed cool. They're hoping to make this place grow what with Alibi downstairs and whatever is pending for the 2000th time closed Raleigh Music Hall upstairs. RMH needs someone to manage it better as a side note.

Big Boss - Bad Penny was on tap, so I approve of this establishment, haha.

Been meaning to post this for a while. Looks like we'll have a replacement for Gandolfo's soon.

I have a friend that lives in the building. They spoke w/ one of the guys opening this place & it sounds like it will be a much more authentic NYC deli type of spot.

That's what I've heard too. Shouldn't be difficult to achieve that!!

The N&O's Greg Cox reviews Posta Tuscan at the new Marriott. FYI.

http://www.bonappetit.com/magazine/2008/10...iest_small_town

The current issue of Bon Appetit magazine has a nice article about the local food scene, dubbing the Durham-Chapel Hill area "America's Foodiest Small Town." (None of the towns in the running are exactly small, it should be noted.)

There's a focus on the usual resturants, and a decent bit of attention devoted to the Carrboro farmers market and local farmers as well. I wasn't expecting the article - a friend pointed it out to me - and I was reading fairly critically, but it's a decent piece; worth a look.

Prime Only closed. (read down in article). Funny, I was walking by the other night and noticed it was closed, walked up to the front door and a sign said "sorry closed tonight only due to a blown transformer" kinda lame sign....just own up and make it official right off....

A follow-up...I've been a Thai cuisine fan all my adult life now and I have to say, after two visits, this is my favorite Thai restaurant in the Triangle now. If you haven't tried them yet, give it a go...definitely worth a visit.

I was fortunate enough to eat at Mecca for breakfast while I was in town. I was worried that Raleigh had no South left in it, but my fears were alleviated when I went here. Its definitely not new or trendy, but it reminded me of an old restaurant I used to go to back home. Good stuff.

Last night I noticed a sign posted on the NE corner of Hargett and Wilmington announcing Sitti by Nemondae is now hiring for all positions! Yea! Not sure when they'll open, but this is encouraging.

The Dog House Website

Looks like the Morrisville Dog House has closed, leaving 5 Durham locations and a Hillsborough location. Guess I'll have to drive a little further for my Bull Dog fix :-/
