Looking for something fun to do this weekend in the #QueenCity ... Well, our friends at @rscommunications sure showed us how to explore and have an amazing time in our city || ALL ABOARD THE SABOR TRAIN!!! 🚈 🚈 🚈 We already shared with y'all back in Nov about the 'not-so' secret menu since @cltfive broke the feature on it and we literally had to order one of each with our friends for foodie research and for you guys, ya know! 😉😂🤦 BUT did you know that you could hit up at least four locations and have a fun time hopping on and off the @ridecats Light Rail and enjoy a progressive dinner, sampling @saborlatingrill along the way??? Swipe 👈 to see a map and all the food we sampled through four unique QC neighborhoods from South End ➡️ Uptown ➡️ NoDa ➡️ University. . 1️⃣: BAREPA - Barbacoa stuffed arepa 2️⃣: Take these stops on the Light Rail to check out Sabor locations 3️⃣: QUESO CON CARNE and guac, plain queso, and salsa - Take your chips and dip to the next level 4️⃣: PLATANOS MADUROS CON CARNE - sweet plantains topped with queso and beef 5️⃣: CUBAN BOWL - Get this. Just do it. Don't ask questions. 6️⃣: GUAVA EMPANADAS - So freakin' delish. We are never not getting Sabor without ordering this sweet ending!!! • • How much fun would it be to spend your weekend exploring different parts of our city and trying out different foods and drinks??? {Sorry, map not to scale--lols. Channeled our inner @mikedaikubara with the sketch!!! Also, these are sampling portions--see our old post in Nov 11 for full dishes. Trust us, each dish will leave you satisfied. Best grab a few friends and order one or two to share at each stop!!!}
Y'all already know that we love @zeppelinclt ... 🥃🍽️ Their craft cocktails and seasonal dishes always deliver an elevated experience, but tonight we got to actually hang out with @chefvincegiancarlo and learn more about his ingredient-driven kitchen! 👨‍🍳. Have you ever been to @zeppelinclt in @southendclt ? • • • It's no surprise that his kitchen puts out some of the most inventive and creative Southern dishes--Chef Vince's path in the culinary world is impressive {and he has also worked with some of our other CLT industry faves, like @pacostacosandtequila ...so no wonder we are drawn to Chef Vince's food!!!}. More importantly, Chef is a big proponent of working with what's in season and locally available by working with local farmers and purveyors--like legitimately, one of our fave dishes of the night was simple AF: roasted carrots with @uavcheese ricotta (pic 7). When an experienced chef works with great ingredients and lets them shine, you're bound to have an amazing meal!!! • • • Swipe 👈 to see Chef's fave dishes that he shared with us. Some of our pro-tips and musts: 1️⃣: BRUNSWICK STEW - order it. Pretend like it's cold out if you have to but this soup is a MUST! 2️⃣: 1/2 PRICED THURSDAYS - the fall seasonal specials are currently available at half price on Thursdays 3️⃣: Grab friends because you'll want to try as many dishes as possible and sharing is the best way to experience it all! 4️⃣: Grab a seat at the bar and watch @josh_drinks_clt and his team make some of the best craft cocktails you'll have in the QC!
When was the last time you watched a movie and what movie was it?!? We want to know--comment below! 🍿 🎟️ 🎥 In case you decide to make this #thirstythursday a MOVIE NIGHT, may we suggest you check out @studiomoviegrill  at Prosperity Village. They've got something for everyone, and their commitment to making a visit to SMG truly an experience shows in how they've curated their drink selections: 🍷: SMG has their own unique red and white blend specifically made for SMG theaters 🍹: Their @patron is a barrel select blended exclusively for SMG! You won't have a margarita like theirs anywhere else! 🍺: Their rotating drafts feature local beers as a part of their commitment to the community! They currently have @oldemeckbrew and @nodabrewing 🎥 🎟️ 🍿 And speaking of community, DYK that they do a lot of outreach programs to help those in need in the Queen City? Their customer loyalty program {SMG ACCESS} allows you to watch movies and earn points to receive a bonus card for yourself, AND in addition, SMG then donates through local orgnaizations a movie and meal experience to local families that otherwise may not be able to afford it. Their JOIN•GET•GIVE campaign is something we can def get behind! They also have select menu items that have a percentage donated to a local charity!
Y'all know we're all about them comfort food when it rains and while our usual go-to's consist of #noodsnoodsnoods and Asian food, today we opted a different route in noodles, since it is the new year and we're challenging ourself to try as many new places as we can. 🍝 🍝 🍝 Now, we know @capishekitchen has been around filling up bellies for months now, but we finally just made it there today for lunch and their San Lorenzo pasta and Margharita not only hit the spot but also satisfied our #cheesepull needs 🧀🍝🍕!!! What's your fave dish you crave when it ☁️🌧️☔? Drop it down below in the comments!!!
𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟𝗦 • 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 • 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 || No matter what you call it, some times they're hard to keep up with if you don't have friends to help you! And lucky for us, our friends at @hungryharvest sent us a MINI produce box to help us stay on track and we're happy to report what we did with our box this last week! 📪 📦 🥗 Here are some of our goals we got an assist with: 1️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 || Y'all know we love to eat out but we do love to cook, too. @swoods_clt is a grill master and @kriska_marie complimented the Tomahawk steak 🥩 with perfectly roasted baby red potatoes 🥔, romanesco 🥦, and kale 🥬. We learned that we're pretty much gonna have to buy more kale and make more #kalechips they were so tasty!!! 2️⃣ 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 || Kriska mad struggles with this but with the sliced cucumbers 🥒, say g'bye to boring water. PRO-TIP: Freeze sliced cucumbers for an even colder, more refreshing agua 💦. 3️⃣ 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 || Y'all saw in our stories that we had some friends over for a post-holiday hotpot party and while none of these produce are traditionally "Asian" ingredients, we were able to use the fruits (🥭🍊🍎) in our Asian-inspired charcuterie board, which complimented perfectly the spicy okra fries and fried tofu. The celery was also the right aromatic for the soup! • • Did you set goals, intentions or resolutions for 2020? We'd like to hear what they are--comment below!! • • Also, have you ever used a subscription box? This was our second Hungry Harvest box and we are very pleased with it. If you're interested, use code CLTREMEDY for $10 off your order (link in bio) #hungryharvest • • Full Disclosure: As with last time, this wasn't a paid ad but this was a complimentary box. We're sharing it because, as you can tell, the produce lived up to the guarantee and we really did accomplish some of our goals this week. Their mission also speaks to us, and if we can pass on the savings to y'all...then win-win for everyone. We get no kickback for using our code! We hope y'all enjoy! 😉
No matter which #vietnamese restaurant we end up at, we always seem to order the same things: 🍚: @vampirph_ec + Lemongrass Chicken 🍜: @kriska_marie + Grilled Pork Vermicelli 🥖: @swoods_clt + Banh Mi Do you have a go-to #vietnamesefood order? And what's your fave spot in the QC? Did you know there are at least 25 Vietnamese restaurants in CLT? Well, there's probably more but a quick @google search shared 25 spots with us. Lol! . . . Our #foodiefriend @andy_thefoodie told us to check out @phovietseafood and even though we probably passed at least more than a dozen Vietnamese restaurants on the way from Steele Creek to Independence Blvd, we listened and we are glad we did! Bonus about this joint: #brownsugarmilktea 😍🥤. But seriously, the baguette on the #banhmi was perfect. There was actually more meat than vermicelli in our bowl! And the lemongrass chicken tasted fresher and lighter--seemed less curry and more lemongrass-forward! It was delish!

We’re on Pinterest!

Not all cocktails are created equal. If you don't already know the crew at @dotdotdotclt make some of the best cocktails in the QC. . . . pro-tip: If there's no open seat at the bar, kindly ask your server to be put on the waiting list.
Who says that Thanksgiving cocktails have to focus on fall flavors? I say play to your crowd and the #fam happens to love #tiki cocktails. . . . Today's pre-turkey drink... Mai Tai (recipe courtesy of @minimalisttiki)
One of the benefits of being in healthcare... It's perfectly acceptable to drink cocktails during the weekday.
Down the rabbit hole I go.
Getting caught up on some plant care during this Thursday day off. #airplants #tillandsia #airplant #airplantsofinstagram #airplantlove #plants #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #tillandsialover #tillandsiacollection #tillandsias #airplantdecor #airplantlovers #homedecor #urbanjungle #tillandsialove #teamtillandsia #houseplant #airplantdesigns #bromeliad #airplantslover #sanservia
Finally made it to @idlewildbar and they definitely did not disappoint.

Still in Christmas socks... And yes, even after making our own Chex Mix with just Chex, peanuts and pretzels... I'm still managing to just pick out the @chexcereal and leaving @swoods_clt a bag of pretzels and nuts. 😂😂😂
So lucky to have #besties who believe in me. #loveyoulongtime (even though I've only known you a short time) @cltfoodgirl ... 🕊️🕊️🕊️ Here's to soaring in 2020 and being a #possibilitarian
3 days into 2020 and the journaling is going strong. 😆😂. Let's see how long I can keep up with this. First 3 days have consisted of making mini vision boards as inspired by a bestie... . . Instead of getting hung up on resolutions that I know will crash and burn within a few weeks into the month, @swoods_clt and I have made a daily habit tracker with a few realistic daily goals. We actually started it in November and it worked well {then December hit and we sucked! Lol!} Hoping we can build better habits by starting out small! Two of mine are: journaling and 15 mins of completely unplugging. Hopefully, a little bit of time invested in doing this daily will act as a mental reset/recharge!!!
Grayson, RAMEN, bunnies, plants, lattes ... Yup, this #topnine2019 is V accurate. As Grayson calls them..."our adventures" 🥂🥂🥂 Cheers to more of 'em @swoods_clt . . . {Stalker-level tagging @chefshortino both of your restaurants are on my #bestnine2019 grid. Just take all of my monies already, Chef!!! Lols!}
When your 4yo decides all the @futobutaramen green tea ice cream is his. All his. Lols! . . Was asking @swoods_clt to take a cute photo of us but Gray just wouldn't share the rest of the ice cream 😂😂😂. Guess next time we know better to order one each! 🍦🍵
This breakfast sandwich may have had to be eaten with a fork and knife {and shared with @swoods_clt after he already ate his own}. 😆Got a little over excited with the brekkie items at the grocery store and picked up a little bit of everything but this sure was all tasty on the @umscornercafe cheddar cheese biscuits we special ordered! If you need me, I'll be on the couch watching @starwars fighting off a #foodcoma . . . @umscorner
