I feel like a whole new world of restaurants have opened up to me now that I'm working in Durham. I need to control myself so I don't become a total broke fattie

7/20/2011 11:04:04 PM

hit me up sometime....we can do lunch, k

I like to explore too! And I desperately need to get out my office at times.

7/20/2011 11:05:16 PM

I mean Spice and curry is my favorite indian but it is expensive and kinda not casual

That place is so fucking good.

I like Beyu Cafe too on Main St.

7/20/2011 11:10:54 PM

[Edited on July 20, 2011 at 11:12 PM. Reason : f]

7/20/2011 11:11:46 PM

Fan.
Fucking.
Tastic.

That's where I came in here to post. One of my favorite places downtown--everything I've had there has been delicious! The portions can be a bit small, depending on what you get, is my only complaint. But still. Go, eat, be impressed.

7/21/2011 1:23:26 AM

Went to Geer St. Garden last night. Was pretty good.

7/21/2011 7:40:26 AM

Is Kokyu a cash only sort of place or can I get by with just my debit card?

7/21/2011 8:14:24 AM

Where in Durham are you?

7/21/2011 8:17:10 AM

Downtown.

I remember seeing that shit when we were at goodberry's. Cars were wrapped around the building and through the parking lot for the drive-thru.

7/21/2011 8:21:55 AM

Toast
Dame's
Parker & Otis
Tyler's
The Federal

those are my fave places

Alivia's WAS good...but I'm not feeling their new menu

7/21/2011 8:24:44 AM

Interestingly enough, the old chef at the Federal left about 6 months ago. The new guy is decent, but the specials just aren't as good anymore (with the exception of the fried chicken).

7/21/2011 8:38:57 AM

How can I forget Parker & Otis??!?!?!?!?

Its my most favorite place. That's where I'm going today!!! YAY

7/21/2011 9:06:18 AM

I went to Bali Hai two weeks ago, it's pretty good. I'd never been to anything like it before, so it was a little interesting. It's a Mongoloian Grill, you put what you want to eat in a bowl, choose a kind of curry, and they stir fry it for you and bring it out with bottomless rice bowls.

7/21/2011 10:08:14 AM

I love Scratch Bakery!

Mad Hatter's Bakery is also good

yeah, I went there last Saturday. I fucking love the joint. I really like how they left it mostly looking like an old school gas station on the outside.

will be going back this weekend probably.

I've always paid in cash. Let me know what you think.

meh...I had good food there but their bakery is very bland...and the frosting tastes like you're eating straight crisco

[Edited on July 21, 2011 at 11:17 AM. Reason : ugh]

7/21/2011 11:17:32 AM

The federal

I'm astraladvent and I approved this message

7/21/2011 11:28:02 AM

So I hit up Parker & Otis today. Spent way too much money. Got the Blue Cheese & Green Apple Chicken Salad sammich. YUM! And a carrot cake cupcake. DOUBLE YUM!

I also got some Tyrell's chips to take home because I can't find them anywhere else!

I did get my dog a new leash while I was there

7/21/2011 4:11:52 PM

7/21/2011 4:12:46 PM

this thread makes me jealous that i work in south durham and not downtown

besides south point chain restaurants, the only good stuff we have is Meridian Cafe and Akashi.

Well that changes everything! I prolly haven't eaten there in almost a year. Bummer.

7/21/2011 4:21:33 PM
