Fried flounder, lemon meringue pie and 80 years of family history at this North Carolina restaurant

A time-worn menu from 1946 still hangs inside Riverview Café , a wooden building just feet from the New River in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina. Jimmy Lewis opened the place that year as an oyster bar, and four generations of his family have run it since. Johnny Terwilliger, Lewis’s grandson, washed dishes here as a sixth grader, then bought the business from his uncle in 1987 at age 23. The kitchen still fries shrimp and Stump Sound oysters, and the pies trace back to the original baker Janice Terwilliger, Lewis’s daughter and the namesake of the family's shrimp trawler, Miss Janice. The food itself, which is all prepared from scratch, is a draw, but so is the restaurant’s history. Some diners return to revisit memories of childhood special-occasion dinners, and waitresses have been known to remember a regular's usual order. Ask for a back table by the window for river views looking toward Camp Lejeune. Start with crowd favorites like flounder (fried or broiled), collard greens and hush puppies, then finish with a slice of lemon, Key lime or coconut cream pie. Whatever you order, it's going to be fresh. "I have been cleaning fish that were literally swimming an

Popular Wilmington festival rebrands and expands, plus your weekend

The first time I met Lucy Vasquez was back in the late 1990s. Vasquez had contacted me hoping I'd write about a new festival she was starting, something called Festival Latino. At that time, Latino people were first starting to move to the Wilmington area, but Vasquez, who hails from near Los Angeles, said she almost didn't recognize the Latinos she was meeting around Wilmington. They kept their heads down, she told me, were quiet and didn't often seek to interact with their community. She wanted to start Festival Latino to help introduce Wilmington to its new neighbors. Nearly three decades, and several locations, later, the festival has been a success. This year, it's undergoing a bit of an expansion and a rebrand, as the 26th annual Amigos International Festival will return to Ogden Park in Wilmington on Saturday, Nov. 14, and Sunday, Nov. 15. The name may be different, but the free festival is still billed as a "cross-cultural weekend of food, music, dancing and family." "It’s an opportunity for people with different languages and cultural backgrounds to enjoy each other’s company," Vasquez wrote in a news release, with food from Mexico, El Salvador, Cuba, Honduras, Colombia, the Caribbean

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.
