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.

New NC House leader vows to end a secretive practice. ‘That stops on my side.'

Polls showed the economy was the No. 1 issue on voters’ minds this past election, but they also saw public corruption as a top issue. Much of that concern had to do with Donald Trump’s presidency, but it has also resurfaced as an issue in the state legislature under Republican rule. A federal investigation that issued several subpoenas in 2024, but appeared to end when Trump retook office, specifically looked at legislative spending that benefited insiders. House Minority Leader Robert Reives , a Chatham County Democrat who says he has the votes to become the next House speaker after a blue tsunami election, said he wants to shut down two legislative practices Republicans have used that allow such spending to fester. One is using the final version of the budget to add additional spending and policy that did not appear in either the House or Senate budget proposals. The second is the practice of stripping bills that are being negotiated by small groups of lawmakers from both chambers and inserting a budget bill for a final vote. Both tactics forced state lawmakers to vote on massive budget bills in the hundreds of pages with little time to read them or

Merrick's lead narrows in NC House race after provisional votes counted

The inclusion of provisional and absentee ballots has slimmed the margin in a tight race for N.C. House District 20 ahead of the official results. New Hanover County Board of Elections counted the additional 1,036 provisional and 90 absentee ballots on Nov. 10. Democrat Tim Merrick holds the lead with 22,160 votes at 50.09% of the electorate — 81 votes ahead of Republican Dane Scalise, who holds 22,079 votes, or 49.91%. Merrick initially led by 101 votes. The results are unofficial until the county canvass on Friday, Nov. 13. The race is eligible for a recount upon request from Scalise. Following the results on election night, Scalise declined to comment on a potential recount. According to the State Board of Elections, a candidate who did not win in a non-statewide contest can demand a recount if the difference between a winning candidate and the candidate demanding the recount is 1% or less of the total votes cast in the contest. Any mandatory recounts would be completed by county boards after the county canvass and should be completed prior to the state canvass.

4-inches of snow, 50 mph gusts, 15-degree lows forecast in parts of NC mountains

The impact of a cold front on North Carolina’s higher elevations continues to worsen, with forecasters calling for more snow, lower temperatures and more powerful wind gusts. Forecasters initially expected “the season’s first snow” would be no more than an inch along the NC-Tennessee state line, but it’s now suspected up to 4 inches could fall in areas like northern Swain County. “If moisture ends up lingering longer over these areas, they can expect an uptick in snow amounts,” the National Weather Service says. The bigger concern will be the bitter cold and wind gusts starting Thursday night, forecasters say. Gusts of 40 to 50 mph are possible along ridge tops Friday and Saturday, resulting in very cold wind chills when “parts of the mountains will drop into the 12 to 20F degree range,” the NWS says. Temperatures could feel as low as 10 degrees west of Boone, making frostbite and hypothermia possible for those who venture out with exposed skin, forecasters say. “Highs from Friday through early next week are also expected to remain below normal for mid-November,” NWS forecasters say. The cold front will stretch from one end of the state to the other on Sunday, with lows
