W
hen you write about
restaurants, people
naturally ask for your
recommendations.
I'm more than happy to satisfy
curiosity and wax poetic about
mouth-watering dishes, too. Fair
warning/shameless plug: You may
have read about some of my favorites
in the nearly two years that I have
savored this gig. My hope is the
descriptions rev up cravings and
support for our great local eateries
– even if it's takeout or no-contact
delivery. We also want you to chime
in with your own favorite dishes at
area restaurants. (See page 61 for
details!)
Tortellini Primavera
Antonella's Italian Ristorante
Antonella's tortellini are lightly filled
with beef in an addictive cream sauce
and dotted with bits of ham and peas.
Paired with the crunchy bread and
butter = to-die-for and, quite possibly,
enough for leovers. 300 Hay St.,
downtown Fayetteville
Carolina Burger
Hot Diggidy Dog
Hot Diggidy Dog is known
statewide for its hot dogs. I'm also
partial to owner Zoe Kalevas'
Carolina Burger, a tasty four ounces
of quality beef, done up on a white
bun with chili, slaw, mustard and
onions. e strawberry milkshakes,
made with real fruit, are da bomb
diggidy. 106 Roxie Ave., Fayetteville
