admin — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

When you think of the Triad area what comes to mind? Two foods that instantly come to mind is Brunswick stew and fried cornbread.To make Brunswick stew you will need a 21/2 pound stewing chicken 2 pounds of beef roast, pound of lean pork, cup of uncooked rice, can of creamed corn, 11/2 quarts of canned tomatoes, a dash of salt, a dash of pepper and a dash of cayenne. Put the meat in a large pan and cover with water then reduce heat and simmer until the meat has cooked. Then grind all the meat. Next strain the liquid through cheese cloth. Then cook the rice in the liquid for 30 minutes. Add the corn and add the tomatoes. Cook for 30 minutes. While you are waiting for the stew to cook go to www.clearwirelessinternet.com‘ >www.clearwirelessinternet.com and get yourself a wireless internet connections that will allow you to surf the web for more recipes no matter where you are – even the kitchen!Does that sound like to much work? Then do what I do and stop at almost any caf in the Triad area and they will be glad to serve you a big ol’ bowl of Brunswick stew.Hopefully the place that you choose will be serving another traditional Triad food and that is fried cornbread. Fried cornbread done right requires being done in lard. Look for some corn meal made in North Carolina if you are going to make this at home

Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen Knows How to Make the Right Thing Happen

www.triadeats.com — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 17:37:48 +0000

There are a lot of reasons to use local goods when operating a restaurant it promotes good will in the community, it keeps farmers and growers employed, and it harkens back to wonderful chefs like Alice Waters (Chez Panisse) and Peter Hoffman (Savoy).So while farm-to-table restaurants are nothing new, there is a new twist in the Triad thanks to Lucky 32 restaurant and their strong alliance with local and sustainable partners one of which has recently been in the news.Tim Russell started raising Malaysian fresh water prawns three years ago on his Caswell County farm (which used to be dedicated to tobacco growing). This year he celebrated his largest harvest to date and was able to sell a portion of his “catch” to Executive Chef Jay Pierce of Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen for use on the restaurant’s menu.Russell hopes to increase production of the prawns (which are described as “sweeter” tasting than shrimp) to help achieve a promise to his now-deceased sister that their land would be repurposed and once again become sustainable.And with the alliance that Pierce has in place with local providers, it seems like it’s a pairing that was meant to happen.

Best Barbeque in the Triad

mgeedey — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 18:09:08 +0000

North Carolina is known for its impressive barbeque and even a bit of bbq rivalry between the eastern and western styles. The triad is caught in an awkward position with its central location in the state. However, that certainly hasn’t stopped this area from pulling its weight in keeping up the barbeque reputation of North Carolina.

Little Richards (Winston Salem): The original Little Richard’s, located on Country Club Drive, has been serving up some of the best pig in the state since 1991. The secret sauce is what makes this barbeque so divine and takes on more of the eastern NC style. This small, humble, bbq joint has incredible taste at an incredible price.
Stamey’s (Greensboro): The Stamey family has been in the barbeque business for 80 years serving Lexington-style barbeque right here in Greensboro. Part of the reason the barbeque served up at Stamey’s is so rich in flavor is the old-fashioned cooking style, using a coal pit to smoke the meat.
Country Barbeque (Greensboro): Known for their succulent ribs that fall right of the bone and generous portions, you’re guaranteed to walk away pleasantly stuffed, a belt notch later. The perfect glass of sweet iced tea and an artery clogging breakfast menu make this one of our triad favorites.
Mr. Barbeque (Winston Salem): Another area Lexington-style bbq favorite. Don’t let the unassuming look of this joint dissuade you. Besides, bbq joints aren’t supposed to look nice. While you’re at it, try their famous fried chicken.
Carter Brothers (High Point): The hearty portions of smoky barbeque and unbeatable cobblers make Carter Brothers one of the best in the area. If you want something besides the standard slaw and beans, pick from one of the many sides such as fried okra or mac and cheese.
