Dewey's Bakery to introduce new concept in Winston-Salem

Dewey’s Bakery, a nearly 100-year-old staple of Winston-Salem, is introducing a “new-to-us” concept at their Thruway Shopping Center and Reynolda Road locations. I say “new” to us because they did the concept in Greensboro, as a standalone store, but the ‘Boro folks demanded a real Dewey’s, and Dewey’s acquiesced to their request. So, Tim, jeez o’pete! Get on with it already. What is this new…

From the Home Kitchen: Pineapple and Apricot Chicken

It has been a while since I did a “From the Home Kitchen,” Touring or otherwise. I’ve not been cooking a lot from home lately. Once my son grew up, moved out, and got a job in the food business, my inspiration has been lacking. That’s not fair to my wife and life partner. I need to do better. This past week, I was looking through some recipes and found something that piqued my interest, so I made…

2022, the year that wasn’t…

Wow, look at the date. December 13, 2022. The last post I made on this site was on March 21, 2022. That was the burger recap of 2021. I haven’t posted in nine months, but this site’s numbers have remained (mostly) steady. People have been at least looking at stuff here. People have asked where I am, if I am going to do more podcasts, and so on and so on. Let me address that here, now. I have been…

The 2021 Burger Tour Final Results

The 2021 Burger Tour Final Results

This past year’s Burger Tour was quite the undertaking. The roster of “to-be-had” was massive. The list was 102 restaurants deep. These included burger-specific restaurants, diners, casual dining, and more. The list was compiled from suggestions from readers, listeners, friends, and things that I was wanting to try. I wasn’t alone in this. Street Team Steven was a sponsor of this tour. He…

Dinner from @zerosei.ws last night. A make-your-own monstrosity of my own doing. Italian-herbs ham, provolone, Swiss, pepper jam, caramelized onions. On a housemade bread. Mama Mia! You gotta come by @roar.ws and try the @fordsfoodhall.ws concepts. More are on their way! (at Fords Food Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaScOb-lWGQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Sea from @zerosei.ws in @roar.ws Smoked salmon, fresh mozzarella, avocado-basil spread, cucumbers, and yogurt sauce. Chips with parm, too. Kind of reminds me of Disney World. The flavors blended really well and worked like magic on the large tortilla. #wsnc #wsncrestaurants #wsncfoodie (at Fords Food Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNbNdCpMkq/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Carolina Classic Fair burger from @jcamericanstreetfood.ws at @roar.ws Premium patty with American cheese, mustard, ketchup, pickles, onion, tomato, and @dukes_mayonnaise The Zinger sauce and honey mustard for dipping the tots really kicks it into high gear! #wsnc #wsncfoodie #downtownwsnc (at Fords Food Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNahXhJZyO/?utm_medium=tumblr

Starting this Sunday off right by showing my best girl the newest, swankiest, swingingest place in town. Bloody Mary and Mimosa specials are @roar.ws while we wait on our @jcamericanstreetfood.ws and @zerosei.ws food. More to come! (at Fords Food Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNXF6Kp5DB/?utm_medium=tumblr

The tenders from @jcamericanstreetfood.ws Three jumbo and plump chunks of tenders that were cooked just right, seasoned just right, juicy and tasted tangy with the "zinger" sauce. @roar.ws is now open for lunch with a few concepts open. Good stuff! (at Fords Food Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaDW8kvJWkn/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Windy City Traveler from @jcamericanstreetfood.ws Loaded with onions, mustard, relish, and tomatoes. Add some "sport ppeppers" and celery seed bun and it would be perfect. Now, before anyone starts throwing down about how it isn't a "Chicago Dog," I'm well aware and they are too. It's not a Chicago dog is a local tribute to one. This was very tasty and a great late lunch item. @roar.ws is now open for lunch. Come get you some! The tots were seasoned well and the honey mustard was tangy and delish.
