## Stamey’s Barbecue – Greensboro, NC

October 15, 2015 by Skye 1 Comment

Disclosure: A 25.00 gift card to Stamey's was provided in exchange for this post. The first thing I noticed when we drove through Greensboro was that there were a ton of BBQ restaurants. And by ton, I mean one on almost every single corner. We aren't huge BBQ lovers, so during our stay in Greensboro we decided we would pick only one BBQ restaurant. We choose to try Stamey's and regretted every second of it.Founded in 1930, Stamey’s is known for it’s “Lexington-style” pit cooked exclusively over hardwood coals barbecue pork and “secret barbecue sauce”. The secret barbecue sauce was a watery, sugary, … [Read more...]

## Crafted – the Art of the Taco – Greensboro, NC

October 9, 2015 by Skye Leave a Comment

When it comes to tacos, I typically enjoy mine pretty plain. Lettuce, tomatoes and salsa and I'm a happy mama. When I walked into Crafted - the Art of the Taco I knew immediately I wasn't in a 'normal' taco joint and I'll admit, I got overly excited to try something new. Born in 2012, Crafted has fed hungry patrons pursuing a unique spin on the average taco. Each recipe draws its magic from international influences and every plate receives the freshest local ingredients available. I was extremely impressed with how large of a menu I was presented with. Even someone who doesn't love tacos can find … [Read more...]

When I drove by Hops Burger Bar last week and saw how many people were waiting outside for a table I simply could not understand the hype. Its just a burger joint after all, or is it?After a bit of googling, I figured out why there were so many people dying to get inside.

## Tony & Milena’s – Hayes, VA

August 30, 2015 by Skye 2 Comments

When you first approach Tony & Milena's 'Pizzeria', which is located in a small strip mall off the George Washington Memorial Hwy you really aren't sure what to expect. It looks like any other small town pizza joint that serves greasy pizza and over prized wings...However Tony & Milena's is nothing like that. Actually, to be honest I'm not sure why they even call it a pizzeria. It's atmosphere and food feel and taste more like a fine dining Italian restaurant, with out the dress code and price shock. Our waiter, Max was attentive and helpful. He explained everything on the menu to us, and … [Read more...]
