Steaks Are Still Cut Tableside at This Dim, Old-School Raleigh Steakhouse North Carolina Steak Lovers Swear By

Some Raleigh restaurants chase trends every season. This one has barely changed in decades, and its regulars would not have it any other way. Here, a staff member can roll up to your table, show you the raw cut, and slice your steak right in front of you before it heads to the charcoal grill. The lights stay low, the salad bar feels like a trip back in time, and there are no reservations for small groups, so the line forms early.

Durham animal shelter says alleged poor conditions don't reflect the shelter today

A former Durham County animal shelter employee posted graphic photos he said showed the shelter’s poor conditions to Facebook on Wednesday. The employee alleged that dogs were fed moldy food, animals were covered in feces, roaches were falling from the ceiling and dead animals were piled up or laid across the ground waiting to be cremated. The Animal Protection Society of Durham, the nonprofit that runs the shelter under a county contract of over $1 million, confirmed it was aware of posts from “a former employee who has expressed dissatisfaction with the organization” in a Thursday statement . But the APS wrote that the former employee’s photos did not reflect the conditions of the shelter now. The former employee has not worked at the shelter for over four months, and the “historical” photos were not from the final months of his employment, APS wrote. “That does not mean we are dismissing what these images show,” the APS wrote. “APS has faced significant challenges, and we have been open about the changes needed to address them.” Design work starting on new animal shelter The News & Observer has previously reported on the animal shelter’s challenges.
