Michael Alvarez+FollowTriangle chefs are changing the food gameNorth Carolina’s food scene isn’t just catching up—it’s setting the pace. With James Beard semifinalists popping up from Raleigh to Wilmington, it’s clear our chefs are cooking with real confidence and creativity. In the Triangle, Ajja’s bold flavors, Herons’ refined classics, and Peregrine’s fresh take on American food show just how diverse and exciting local dining has become. And it’s not just here—Charlotte’s sushi scene and Wilmington’s focus on sustainable seafood are turning heads, too. What do you think: Is NC now a must-visit for food lovers? Which spot would you try first? #Food #NCfood #JamesBeardAwards00Share
