About
Hi, We are Jessica and Dan and we work as stock traders in Raleigh and live in Cary, NC. Dan, the NYer, recently moved to Raleigh from NY for Jessica; Jessica has always called Raleigh home.
Last Saturday (May 2nd) as we were searching online for great Chinese in Raleigh we realized that there was no consistent review website to rely on. We started this blog because of our mission to find the best restaurants in Raleigh –why not review where we go to help others that have moved here, or simply want to branch out and try new restaurants. Our goal is to objectively evaluate restaurants based on service, atmosphere, the food and the risk/reward for your money. We will strive to evaluate at least one new Raleigh/Durham/Cary/Chapel Hill restaurant a week. Please leave us feedback with suggestions, or if you agree/disagree with our evaluation! We hope that either Raleigh natives, or new transplants will find this website helpful for finding fantastic food in the area.
In addition to trying to find the best restaurants in Raleigh, we are also trying to find restaurants that have the same type of food that Dan is used to from NY. The following is a list of his “needs”
- great, hearty breakfast
- sushi with spicy mayo like they have in NY
- Deli sandwich with Boars Head meat
- authentic Italian with a great red sauce
- NY style pizza
- NY bagels
So, if you recently moved here or are trying to find the same things we are, let us do the legwork for you! Hope you enjoy! We can be contacted at iheartcary@gmail.com .
