Naw, they've never had a case of mad cow reported in Japan. But they love to go apeshit when mad cow is found anywhere else and completely ban imports of beef from that country. They've just started to lift the ban on US beef from when that mad cow was found in Washington.

9/9/2009 10:56:55 PM

Sushi Thai has $2 sushi at dinner time
Xanki has lunch hibachi for $7
Suchi Indian Cuisine is awesome authentic indian. Chatham Square.
Rockford is my favorite sandwich joint
Finch's is my favorite breakfast greasy spoon on weekends
Village Draft House always good

but trolling harris teeter and whole foods for free samples = win

that korean place on hillsborough st

9/10/2009 12:08:19 AM

Jerrys Grill on Whitaker Mill is the jam. Breakfast all day, hobo sandwhiches, and the best classic burger I've had in a while. They are open until three.

I love Finchs for breakfast.

Hot Point Cafe on Buck Jones is great. Innovative sandwhiches, burritos, and full glasses of wine.

Flying Saucers food is good for a bar.

Wildflour on Creedmoor. Real deep dish pizza. Although Lilys should be number 1 on your list.

and if you're looking for good food on the (really) cheap, it doesn't get any better than K & W

Yeeees, I'm lovin' this last page of results.

I'm making a list. I'm going to have to do a food blog or something.

Another prompt: Best Dumplings OR Gyoza OR Empanadas OR Pierogi in town.

...because, you know, I want to eat three times my weight in carbs.

9/11/2009 2:13:33 AM

Best dumplings and gyoza are from Grand Asia Market in their cafeteria area. No lie. Also best ginger chicken and chaashuu pork. And the best pig ear

9/11/2009 3:21:17 AM

That is a good tip. I never would have thought to go there.

Best empanadas I have had are at Oakwood Cafe.

9/11/2009 10:01:20 AM

Used to be if you went there for lunch you could pick three things from the cafeteria and rice for $4. Super good deal. It's been awhile though so I would guess the price has gone up since last time I was there.

Just be warned they usually don't speak English and all the signs are in Chinese so you'll most likely be ordering blind. I only had one or two times where I picked something that was gross

SUCCESSFUL BUMP.

9/11/2009 4:14:40 PM

Went to Raleigh Times with girlfriend and some mixed friends the other day on the heavy recommendation of TWW. Their burger really is great, and certainly more filling than PR's to say the least. Their fried green bean starter is also really good.

MOAR.

9/28/2009 1:49:54 PM

dude

just walk around the block over there by hargett

mecca is on martin (one block down wilmington from hargett)

roommate highly recommends

9/28/2009 3:24:10 PM

Got the stuffed grape leaves and hummus platter for lunch today at Mitch's. So much food for only $6. A++ would order again.

9/28/2009 3:45:45 PM

OH YOU THINK THIS THREAD IS OVER BUT IT ISN'T. I WILL CATALOG EVERY FUCKING HOLE IN THE WALL COLLEGE EATERY AND SOME THAT AREN'T BUT STILL THE POINT IS FOOD YEA DUDE.

9/30/2009 5:07:38 PM

My dad took me to a sushi place in Brier Creek that has BOGO sushi rolls right now. It was really good too. Don't remember the name but it's across the parking lot from Earth Fare.

9/30/2009 5:12:37 PM

^ I ate there with my old boss a few months back. The food was good and the price was good. My only complaint was that their wasabi was weird. It tasted good, but the wasabi "mash" wasn't consistent in intensity. So you'd have this tiny piece of wasabi that would burn your face off, then a big glob of it that wasn't very spicy.

Still, it's awesome if you wanna eat something besides french fries and hamburgers on a college budget.

9/30/2009 5:19:46 PM

best burgers in the triangle are at Abbey Road

^^you talking about Champa?

9/30/2009 6:00:41 PM

^^ hmm, I didn't run into that with the wasabi. Maybe the fixed the problem.

9/30/2009 6:03:09 PM

for mexican food, pancho villa's in cary across from the triangle grill is good

and they have $1 tacos on tuesday and thursday

9/30/2009 9:22:17 PM

Any good Italian places, folks?

Like, genuine Italian.

10/10/2009 5:39:52 PM

We went to Ole Timey Barbeque and I've probably found my home away from home. That was fantastic.

So, now I'm looking for the kind of place to eat you'd take a girlfriend or a loved one for a nice dinner--personally kind of leaning towards American, Locavore, mixed-genre type of place... but not going to be really demanding about that. Just give me some names where you'd take a girlfriend/boyfriend if you weren't going for just quick and cheap.

EDIT: Also, how about a good comfort food joint?

Bella Monica is a GREAT Authentic Italian place...wonderful for date nights or just a nice dinner with family and friends. The food is really really good, particularly the flatbreads..but the pasta and everything else I've had was great. Prices are probably in the medium range, maybe not for the lower college-budget. Last time I was there they didn't even have a sign with the name on it, just one that said "Pizza" I think. It's in the complex on Blue Ridge and Duraleigh, behind the Chargrill. I suggest trying it!

11/7/2009 4:04:57 PM

I'm regret putting "budget-friendly" in the name, because it's basically not at all what I'm asking for anymore.


So yea, don't forget any fucking expensive-as-hell places.

Speaking of expensive, I'm thinking about Bogart's and Poole's. Any recent trips there, folks?

11/8/2009 2:40:25 AM

DALAT in mission valley is good. The Dalat Deluxe rolls are yum. So is the Pho, but thats all I've had there.

11/8/2009 11:54:33 AM

I want to sit outside, AND watch the game. It shall be delicious and have a few drinks. Because I need to make Dane Cook funny.

Where am I going? suggest.

11/8/2009 4:27:04 PM

Tobacco Road has outside seating with TVs
