12 North Carolina Restaurants That Know How To Make Biscuits And Gravy Right

One Asheville spot serves cathead biscuits, a name that comes from biscuits roughly as big as a cat’s head. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then I learned the same place lets you pick a gravy the way other cafes let you pick a muffin. Another kitchen in Charlotte never closes, so sausage gravy is on the table at 3 AM if you want it.

Driver reports ‘suspected contaminated' fuel at Raleigh station. Sales paused

State inspectors don’t always find issues when they follow up on consumer complaints about gas stations. But in one recent case, a driver reported that the vehicle’s engine stalled after filling up at a Raleigh gas station. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic, who “suspected contaminated gas.” That complaint led to a follow-up inspection, where an inspector found sediment coming through the pump with diesel. While that’s not the fuel type the person who made the complaint had purchased, the finding could harm consumers. The inspector paused sales at the pump, until the issue could be fixed. Full story: Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found Here’s what to know about recent fuel quality inspections and how to report complaints: Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services received fuel quality complaints about 24 stations across Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties. Twenty of those were in Wake County. Drivers reported that their vehicles lost power or had trouble starting. They also said their engines stalled and check engine lights came on. Some mechanics told customers their vehicles had been filled with contaminated fuel. Inspectors confirmed

Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found

Consumers complained about fuel quality at two dozen gas Triangle stations recently, and state inspectors found issues at a handful of them. Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, customers submitted complaints about 24 stations in Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

In the complaints, drivers reported a variety of issues with their vehicles including: losing power, having difficulty starting; check engine lights turning on; and engines stalling.
