10 North Carolina Gluten-Free Bakeries Serving Treats Worth Driving Miles For

A former tennis pro now spends mornings making gluten-free bagels in North Carolina. I love that plot twist. Trading a racket for a rolling pin takes serious nerve. The surprises keep coming across the state. One Italian bakery sells gluten-free almond mousse cakes and chocolate hazelnut tarts beside its classic pastries. Another shop stocks take-and-bake cinnamon buns in a freezer case, so the treat can ride home with you.

The place keeps a classic, dressed-up feel, yet it rarely acts stuffy or pretentious.

New regional cuisine restaurant comes to Cary by the end of the year

Sama Hospitality is opening a new contemporary Indian restaurant called Bar O Bar in Cary following the success of Morrisville’s Fusion Nine, an Indian fusion dining experience. The new restaurant, located at 2301 Corley Road, is rooted in the culinary traditions of South India, bringing a “refined yet approachable” take on Indian dining to the Triangle. Scheduled for a December opening, the kitchen is lead by Michelin-trained Chef Vikash Vumudi. “We created Bar O Bar to showcase the depth, diversity and creativity of Indian cuisine beyond what many guests may have experienced,” Sai Ancha, co-owner said in a press release. “Cary felt like the perfect home for that vision. It’s a community that values great food and genuine hospitality, and we want every guest to leave having discovered something new, while feeling welcomed like family.” Bar O Bar centers on the depth and diversity of Indian cuisine, with an emphasis on South Indian flavors and traditions rather than the North Indian dishes that are widely associated with Indian cuisine in the United States, according to the press release. The opening menu will still feature ingredients familiar to the regional cuisine like fresh coconut, mustard seeds, black pepper and curry leaves.
