food adventures of a 20-something-year-old
You ever go to a restaurant for the first time and feel like you really “click” with it? The atmosphere, the staff, the food, the vibe? If you don’t know what I mean, stop reading. Just kidding… I recently had this feeling at 8.2.0. Pizzeria and Bar in Charlotte. Full disclosure: I was invited to …
I recently spent time out in California in the coveted Bay Area. Luckily, I had some time to explore Wine Country, too. As a North Carolina native who has spent virtually no time in Northern California, I had a lot of research to do. Dozens of questions were running through my head- Which vineyards should …
Have you ever had a restaurant that perfectly encapsulates your memories of an entire city? For me and Chapel Hill, it's Merritt’s Grill. The Food Merritt’s is a locally-owned grill in Chapel Hill that has perfected the art of a BLT. You may be thinking, “How can a BLT be that good?” Trust me, I didn’t …
Check out my LOTSA giveaway on my food Instagram- @nc_eats for a chance to win a $25 gift card! Pizza and college, like two peas in a pod. In Chapel Hill, there are so many pizza options just minutes away from my house on Franklin Street. Throughout the years, I’ve tried pretty much all of …
I’m back with my monthly favorites blog! However, for March, I’m going to focus on one thing in particular that stood out to me last month. Spring Break in Cozumel.

Do restaurants live up to awesome logos? Since I can remember, I’ve seen people rock t-shirts and hats with “The Salty Dog” plastered all over them. I always took note of how adorable their logo is (I mean I just love the way the serif font fits around the simple dog outline. Ugh, genius), and promised myself …
I’ve been to Asheville a few times, but never over the age of 21. Until a few weeks ago. The other weekend I ventured over to Asheville with some of my friends to experience the real Asheville and go brewery hopping. Here’s the scoop on the breweries I visited: Asheville Brewing Company Because it was …
February has come and gone and I can’t believe it’s already March of 2018! This is a new style blog I’m trying out. I’m thinking about doing it at the end/beginning of every month. Basically, it’s just a compilation of all of my favorite things (food, memories, random products, etc.) from the previous month. Five …
I love brunch. I mean...I’m a millennial, what can I say? Last weekend, my friends and I ventured over to downtown Asheville for brunch and breweries. Because of the nature of our friend group, we put some serious thought into where we were going to eat for brunch. After some intense research, we decided on …
