New Orange County Food Lovers Guide will be published just in time for the Holidays

2008 proved to be a pivotal year for the Chapel Hill/Carrboro/Hillsborough restaurant scene. In addition to Bon Appetit’s “foodiest town” piece, Saveur magazine featured Chapel Hill as “one of the five best food towns in America.” Gourmet included one of our restaurants, Lantern, in its list of the top fifty restaurants in the nation. Bon Appetit named Sandwhich one of the ten best sandwich shops in America, and Neal’s Deli one of its ten best new delis. The Fiesta Grill, Crook’s Corner, Elaine’s on Franklin, the Carrboro Farmers’ Market, Barbecue Joint, Allen and Son Barbecue, Panciuto, and Foster’s Market have appeared in periodicals ranging from Food and Wine to Garden and Gun to Southern Living.

Watch for my upcoming Food Lover’s Guide to Chapel Hill with Carrboro and Hillsborough, published by the visitors bureau in December.
