Foodie Files: Ethnosh 2.0

D and I planned to go to the Ethnosh event on the first.  This was a nice date to celebrate eleven months in our relationship.  Ethnosh is a great way of discovering local ethnic food in the greater Greensboro area. The event runs from 6-8PM and costs $5 to get in. The first was was at a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Hien Vuong.  It was pretty successful and the food was awesome.  This time we took our tastebuds to DaSaRang, a local Korean restaurant that sat in the FantaCity shopping center.

Food trucks in the Bull City

So after my weekend trip to the tournament and Raleigh and birthday photoshoot for my mom, the mister and I decide to take a side trip to check out the food truck rally in Durham Central Park. 

 

There were around forty food trucks and lots of vendors there as well.

The atmosphere was awesome. Families, couples, and pets!

The vendors area.

These stuck out to me right awat and D decided to check out the lego studs (not pictured).

She has to have been my favorite vendor out of the whole event.

Another awesome vendor. So mad I couldn't buy anything.

Awesome sidewalk art.

Samba on the bridge.  We stopped and danced for a bit in front of strangers. It was so much fun.

We had a lot of fun. Nothing to review this go-round due to us being strict on our spending this past weekend.  We definitely plan on showing up to some more events in the triangle area.  Lot of hidden gems to be found.

Keep it classy folks!

Foodie Files: An Evening at Dame's

Dame's Chicken & Waffles! Finally!

We sat down and placed our food and drink orders.  After giving the menus back, I told Donnie I usually take a photo of the menu so he snatched one off the neighboring table and posed.

This was such an impromptu trip. We had a lazy day at home and we were being bums (hence the sweats).  Roaming about town in between tornado warnings, running errands, and wandering in a living food store; our stomachs were on the fritz so finding some eats was the answer.  A couple of the usual places were brought up but all I had on the brain was Dame's Chicken and Waffles.  So we decided to make a stop.

He was excited to be finally getting some food.  

Our sides came out first. I have to snag a pic of boo's first.  He ordered the the Quilted Buttercup with mac  n cheese on the side.  It's an herb mac n cheese.  Very different taste but it was delicious. The texture and amount of cheese was an even balance. Quite decadent.

I ordered the Buff Brahmas with the wings instead of the cutlets and got the Whiskey Creme Sauce on the side.  The waffle was decent, to be honest, I've had better. In combination with the smear, sauce, and chicken, it was quite awesome.   The chicken was fried to golden perfection and had so much flavor packed  in it.  I don't indulge in fried chicken often but when I do, I don't like to be disappointed and this certainly did not disappoint.  I also ordered the spicy greens for my side and I cannot get them out of my mind! I am still aiming to master cooking greens so I can put my own spin on them.

All in all the dinner was awesome. A bit pricey but the food was definitely worth it.  I want to visit the original location in Durham to see if there is a difference in quality or taste.
