I heard a rumor that Parker & Otis, our favorite (the only?) fancy grocery store in Durham, is having a giant sale this Saturday. I guess everything is on sale, up to 50%, including beer and wine. Sounds like a big deal to me. And they have those free wine tastings on Saturdays (12-3) so you can drink while you shop. There is really nothing better than that.
P.S. It does get better. Apparently the wine tasting will be from 11 - 4 this week.
If you don’t know, “bleg” is blogosphere for “request for our blog readers.”
My friend told me that Super Taqueria used to sell great potato tacos. Then they stopped, and told her when she asked that it was because she was the only person who ever ordered them. So if you go, you should casually ask if they have any and act surprised and mildly disappointed if they don’t. Maybe they’ll make a comeback.
Also, if you know of somewhere else with good potato tacos, let us know.
Thanks, readers.
Now open with new management and a new attitude! It used to be “Food to Go” and then was really briefly the “East Campus Grill,” but I’d never been until it became “Luther’s Catering and Beyond.” (The website doesn’t mention this location, which is at Markham and Broad, right by Siren’s.) It has a pretty standard menu (burgers, hot dogs, bbq sandwiches, hushpuppies). There are much better places around here to get a barbecue sandwich, but the burger was really good. And it’s so charming!
And while you’re there, you really have to go to Books Do Furnish a Room, which is the little blue shack that I drove by every day for 2 years before I noticed it, and then another 2 years before I managed to go inside. It’s a great used bookstore, also with a pretty big comic/graphic novel section and some used music. Also charming.
Thank you to cookingeatingdurham, eat at joe’s, we-love-durham, durhambullpen, and Eclectic Glob of Tangential Verbosity for noticing we are alive. Hopefully we will make a positive contribution to the already-happening scene.
This is the group blog of the Duke Law Epicurean Society. At some point we might have something useful to say, but don’t hold your breath.
