5 Mom and Pop Restaurants in Wilmington, North Carolina that Locals Swear By
Wilmington, North Carolina — a city where the Cape Fear River drifts slow and wide, where the Atlantic’s salt tang lingers in the air, where pastel houses lean into live oaks and the laughter of neighbors spills from porches to brick-lined streets. Here, the city’s soul is stitched together by old port history and new arrivals, by artists and surfers, students and shipbuilders, dreamers and doers, all gathering beneath the hush of Spanish moss and the bright pulse of the sun. Wilmington is a place where food is memory and celebration, where every meal is a gathering, a story, a bridge across generations and cultures.

Fair food flavors arrive as Wilmington-area restaurants announce closures
I've been thinking fair food this week, with the release of the 80 or so new foods at the N.C. State Fair . I'm talking pickles in cheesecake, peach-and-hot chicken sundaes and cheesy birria bombs. It's worth a visit to Raleigh. But if you can't get there this year, or you can't wait until the Brunswick County Agricultural Fair & Expo, which starts Oct. 21, there is another Department of Agriculture event that will also be (partially) right here in Wilmington. The Country Ham Restaurant Week runs through Oct. 25, just like the fair. And it's meant to showcase the salt-cured, slow-aged delicacy of North Carolina. Chefs from 11 restaurants across the state are showcasing the ingredient, including two local restaurants. For details, and more of this week's food news, read below. What to eat Fair food: It's not all deep-fried and stuffed with cheese at the fair. Among the new foods this year are those that feature N.C. country ham, piled in sweet potato biscuits or sprinkled on okra. If you want to participate locally in the Country Ham Restaurant Week, here's where to go. Chef Josh Petty of Cast Iron Kitchen is serving a grazing board with Sugar
