Triangle Restaurant Week is Back!

Triangle Restaurant Week is baaaack (it’s running until 1/27)!! Woohoo!! My head went into a tailspin when I checked out all the restaurants participating. Major noms!

What I love about Triangle Restaurant Week is that you can really get an experience out of the restaurant. Normally, when I dine out I usually stick to one entree and skip the salad and dessert. There are great deals for both lunch & dinner, which in my opinion is too good to pass up!

Tonight I’ll be venturing to Sullivan’s for what will be an amazing dinner for only $30! Where else can you get a salad, filet mignon, and a dessert for just $30 at a super nice restaurant?! Of course there are other items on the menu to choose from. 

Tomorrow I’ll be going to Irregardless Cafe. That’s one of my favorite restaurants here in Raleigh and their menu for Triangle Restaurant Week looks heavenly.

If I could I would eat at all the restaurants that are participating, but then someone would have to send me to the Biggest Loser to lose all the weight I gained. 🙂 I suppose it’s a good thing I’m eating sensibly during the day so I won’t feel guilty later on. Be sure to hit up Triangle Restaurant Week before it ends and it’s a great opportunity to eat local!

Bonjour!!

Finally! My blog is up & running… for the most part. WordPress is all new to me & why not start off 2013 by teaching myself how to use it without buying one of those “WordPress For Dummies” books. 

After a couple requests from a few friends, I decided to start my own blog. The main feature of my blog will be about all my favorite places here in Raleigh as well as new discoveries.  I’m not big into chain restaurants or big box shops, I like to root for the underdog and the hidden gems. Ok… I’ll admit it, Bojangles is my one exception when it comes to chains, but I’m sure many of you will agree with me!

I also plan to share my personal stories along the way as well. It takes a lot to embarass me so what better way to share my awkwardness through a blog! Maybe The Bachelor will get their hands on this and finally cast me as the 5ft witty gal that is a part-time klutz. *Fingers crossed!*

Thank you to everyone for your support!

P.S. I’d like to give a special shout out to my pal, Heather Albertson for creating my fabulous logo! She’s a very talented gal, so please be sure to check out her website (Heather A Design) if you’re looking for a great graphic designer.
