I'm head over heels for clarified milk punch cocktails, such as this favorite from Mexico. Any cocktail lounges in RDU serving milk punch?

Hi, I’m looking for recommendations for fun places for group dinners in the Durham area.

2 Brewgaloo tix for the Friday session (4/21) as I just realized I can no longer attend. Will shave off the massive service fees.

If you like country ham and sweet potatoes, you need to be in Downtown Smithfield this Saturday for the 34th annual Smithfield Ham & Yam Festival! The ham and yam foods available at the festival include some beloved favorites, like the Kiwanis Club of Smithfield’s country ham biscuits, a staple since the beginning of the festival, as well as more recent additions like sweet potato cheesecake pie and new this year, ham mac and cheese and ham kabobs. Other foods include baked sweet potatoes, ham kabobs, funnel cakes with ham and yam toppings, yam cotton candy, sweet potato soufflé ice cream, sweet potato cupcakes, yam smoothies, baked ham sandwiches, sweet potato fries, sweet potato lemonade, and sweet potato funnel cakes.

For more information, visit www.hamandyam.com!

Hello all,

Wasn't sure which sub to post this in but was curious about the food scene. (Mid-twenties chef looking for a change of scenery - used to live in Atlanta)

Opinions/thoughts about it being possible for no-car commuting/if the local food scene was worth moving out-of-state for?

Thanks! and much love to NC

I have a bit of a chocolate mousse obsession, and it's not easy to find good stuff. Just moved to Raleigh -- looking for some high quality chocolate mousse. Willing to drive within 30 minutes.

Disclaimer: I do not know much about beer, besides I like to drink it, Porters are dark and IPA's are hoppy. But I want to give this place some shine since I really dig it.

Crank Arm Brewery is exactly the kind of place I'm looking for as a 25 year old, full time employee in my choice field, part time student still holding to the "Animal" inside me that spent those three years post high school in Asheville raging riverside in the mountains and raving about "The system, mannn.." What I'm trying to say, is that I'm hip enough and not much more. I fall between thick rimmed glasses, selvedge jeans & PBRs, and the pissy pretentiousness that only comes from a couple decades of the unrelenting oppression that comforting family stability in the suburbs can offer. But enough about me..

Crank Arm won me over from the beginning. The outdoor area in front is chill and somewhat ducked off from the sidewalk just enough to feel like you're at least kind of hidden. After walking into the building, I noticed cool lighting and unique bicycle related artwork, hence the name Crank Arm. I ride bikes enough to know that fixed gear is where it's at and my 1980's Shogun is just what I want, but I can really appreciate the merging of two unlikely cultures which both seem to have a passionate uprising right now. The atmosphere is appealing, the space is small but it doesn't feel like it and I had a great time people watching. The people who were there that night all seemed very.. What's the word? Get-along-able. There were the perfect amount of people, it wasn't like Trophy which is understandably jam packed - but it didn't feel like the Saucer either. It was just about right for my taste. The seating has a few different styles to offer: the bar (obviously), raised table and chairs and some long tables that run against the wall.

And of course, I wouldn't be talking about this place if the beer wasn't good. Nothing knocked my socks off, but I drink PBR and Yuengling without thinking about it - if you want to be snobbish about a beer, take your Dockers to Germany. I'm kidding, of course. Crank Arm's beer selection is up on their site, and I don't have a bad thing to say about it. Everything I tried was exactly on point. I tried the Rickshaw, Boyz-N-Biken and the Pumpkin beer. I am not a fan of the Pumpkin stuff, but I really liked this one. I ended up buying the Crank Arm bottle opener I liked the place so much - it was nice and thin, lightweight but very firm (I tried to bend it as soon as I paid for it) and came with a big goldish key ring. I like knickknacks, sue me.

Thanks for reading my "review" if you'd call it that. If you'd been to Crank Arm, what was your experience? Did you love it? Hate it? Or think it rather mediocre? *twists mustache

But I know they closed a few months ago. When I was last there in February or so, they told me they were opening a new restaurant in Morrisville. But I never got the name or location. Anyone know about a new restaurant in Morrisville owned by the same folks as the former 35 Chinese in Cary? I haven't been able to find any information about it.

They only do burgers and a few sides but they're really good and you can tell the owner is very passionate. They have a food truck and a stand alone restaurant in Durham.
