Foodie Gets Revealed!

I know I've been slacking the past couple of months. The truth is, I've been really busy. Along with a new project (look for an announcement in the next couple of weeks), I was recently interviewed for the Lake Norman Magazine by Charlotte Observer Food Editor Kathleen Purvis! (SQUEE!!!)

This means that next month you'll get to see a photo of my cooking -- and a photo of ME! Yup, that's right, I'm coming out of the blogger closet. Now I will be known to everybody who reads the Lake Norman Magazine (or to those willing to do a 10 second Google Search). So, in essence, I will remain anonymous. :)

But seriously, I really do like the Lake Norman Mag! Also , I'd like to thank Kathleen Purvis for the wonderful food discussion, and I'd like to thank the photographer David Foster for his ability to make my Maple Pork Chops look a thousand times more mouthwatering than they normally look.

Gas Station Food....

There's a great article in today's Observer about Gas Station Food.

Kathleen Purvis, the Observer's Food Editor, went on a road trip and hit some of the more recommended Gas Stations, and had some surprising (and not surprising) results.

Also, this article reminded me of an article I previously posted about the Cashion's in Cornelius, which had an amazing hamburger.

So, I ask you -- where is your favorite Gas Station Food??

Great Article by Kathleen Purvis

Today's Charlotte Observer has an article by Kathleen Purvis that lists her favorite foods in the Charlotte area. Included in this list are some Lake Norman places too:

Ferrucci's Old Tyme Italian Market in Cornelius

Amelie's French Bakery & Café in North Davidson (I can't wait to try their salted caramel brownies!)

Davidson's Farmers Market

So, I recommend that you give this article a glance -- it probably contains a few of your favorite places.... as for me, I'll be hitting Amelie's and Ferrucci's pretty soon!

**UPDATE:** Apparently I misread the article, and Amelie's is on North Davidson St in NoDa. My Bad. However, those brownies do sound good -- I may need to take a trip down there!
