Last week I confessed that I'm not the best cook in the world and love to dine at local area restaurants.  I wrote a blog called My favorite Triangle Restaurants - Bon Appétit.   I've lived in the area since 1991(heck, I'm almost a native) and, until recently, there haven't been a large breadth and depth of restaurants  in town.  There were the tried and tested but rarely would we see emerging restaurants that had staying power.  

With the influx of so many northerners in the area that have discerning taste buds the demand for upscale restaurants is increasing in the area.  In fact, this month's issue (11/07) Bon Appétit recognizes the Triangle area as poised to become American's next hot food destination.  Let me repeat - Bon Appétit has just recognized the Triangle as America's next hot food destination.  That is quite an honor coming from such a well renowned culinary magazine.  

This month's issue also names 10 new Triangle hot spots which opened in the last two years.  I've been to a few of these, but not all, and will have to get my phone out so I can make reservations tonight at one of the few that I have missed.  :) Some of these restaurants are off-springs to other well established restaurants in the area but most are newcomers to the Triangle restaurant scene.

I love eating out with my husdand. But it seems we are in a rut, We find something we like and we go back and back and back and do not give others a chance. But, I am glad to see someone to spread it around and enjoy different types of taste.

Tracy, When we first moved to Wilmington, we were hard pressed to find a place to get  a meal after 9pm. Thst has been changing rapidly. I believe with the influx of Yankees....ESP new Yorkers Who like to eat out late.

My mouth  is watering... got to go get a snack!

TRACY:  I can see why your area has become such a relocation hotspot, particularly for Long Islanders.  We have access to a lot of great dining both here and in NYC, so dining choices is an important factor for those that want to retain some of the benefits of living on Long Island.  I've bookmarked this to share with anyone that I know that is looking in your area.

Susan - Set a date, take your hubby to a new restaurant.  This is your chance to find a new destination.

Ginger & Roger - I just love the Phoenix in Wilmington.  You'll have to share the new spots because I'd love to check them out :)

Adam - You are correct - We have lots of folks that are coming here from Long Island.  We call t hem "half backs".  And, yet again, they have great taste and demand arts, culture, and night life.  So, there you have it - the Triangle is progressing in the right direction.  And, you can send those Northerners my way if you'd like.  I"ll take good care of them. :)
