I'm Grillin' in the Rain, Just Grillin' in the Rain, what a glorious feeling...

Sometimes when you get an idea in your head, you're going to see it through and there's no amount of reasonable and loving input that’s going to change your mind. That's how I have often found myself grilling under an umbrella and shouting back to friends, family, guest, whoever "it's all good, I think it's letting up!". It's usually not letting up, often it’s getting heavier but once you have the grill lit, you just kind of have to go for it. With the abundance of rain this week, maybe some of you can relate to this experience. Most of you probably can't because you live a life of prudent and reasoned planning.

All that said, whether the skies are going to agree and the grill seems a good idea or it’s more of a day to pop something in a low oven, we have it all. It's a great time enjoy the waning cool days and enjoy a ragu or rich braise. If that's not feeling right, we always have quick options or some excellent NC fish from Local's Seafood. We love when folks come in without any idea of what they want to cook.

Memorial Day weekend is coming up, so be sure to reserve something great for your grill. And we hope to see you all regularly, we have some new staff and lots of creative things going on. Come and see!
