jake came to visit a couple of weekends ago. He got in late thursday night and then we were off to a solid weekend of fun and eating.
On friday we took CH by storm and headed to Breadman's for lunch and then met up with the kids for some chill time at Sutton's and then froyo of course. We did a driving tour of campus and then had dinner with Jonathan, Megan, and Mike at Buns! Later that night we had a night of Cards Against Humanity at the Standard, of course.
Saturday was a Raleigh day. We started with biscuits from Sunrise and then headed east and grabbed Cook Out for lunch, a first for both Jake and I.
Cook Out is ridiculous. I'm not sure if in a good way though. For a five dollar combo you get a sandwich (burger, chicken sandwich, bbq, etc.) and two sides. But what can you get for sides? Well many things, including chicken nuggets or a corn dog! They are not even pretending to get you a vegetable. Really, look at the menu and be disturbed, a little grossed out, and entirely intrigued.
After gorging ourselves we headed to Big Boss to meet up with Ross, Yuna, and Kelly and enjoy the Brewery tour, which was less of a tour and more of a source for cheap beer (I'm not complaining). Cool fact, the brewmaster that gave us our tour is the same guy that created Abita Purple Haze! NBD. He also loves the Razorbacks, check plus.
Yes, Yuna is Razorback red in this picture:
The crates were made in Canada! (just like Yuna)
After spending a few hours in the tap room we went to Beasley's for dinner, where for some reason they gave us twice as many waters as we needed. Maybe they knew we needed hydration...
Delicious veggie plates for Jonathan and I:
We finished up the day around some bars and food trucks.
Sunday began with Crepes in Carrboro, and then an afternoon in Durham.
Followed up with lunch at Vespa, and a pilgrimage to Southern Season. We then had a chill night before Jake left early Monday morning.
It was a lovely visit. It's clearly time for Jake to move here.
Just saying.
