What wine do you turn to on a cool February day? @matt_lardie suggests a rosé, for it's not just a summertime wine.

No, hushpuppies didn't get their funny name from cooking throwing fried cornmeal to barking dogs to make them hush. @mossr has the real story of this the iconic born-in-the-Carolinas treat originally known as red horse bread.

Yes, it's pink, so you might be tempted to pick a rosé for Valentine's Day. But isn't that a summertime wine? @matt_lardie says think again: the pink stuff can be a great choice any time of year.

It's time for this week's Carolina Dine Around, and it's a special Restaurant Week (or Weeks) edition! Plus Rock the Block is back from @htbbq and canned bagels are trending in Charleston.

[Southeastern Dispatch @SEDispatch]

As we bounce into 2022, @Matt_Lardie asked 6 chefs and F&B pros in the Triangle to predict what lies ahead. They see smaller restaurants, simpler but more refined food, and staying focused.

Love these shouts out for @DeanNeffChef at Seabird, @strochraleigh & Osteria Georgi!

Once snubbed by Raleighans and Durhamites as the "Containment Area for Relocated Yankees", Cary has developed quite a downtown dining scene. Debbie Moose rounds the tempting options.

[Southeastern Dispatch @SEDispatch]

Cary was long snubbed by Raleighans and Durhamites as the fast food-laden Containment Area for Relocated Yankees, but now, @DebbieMoose argues, you can dine and drink very well in downtown Cary.

https://t.co/La1cR0YXcm

[Southeastern Dispatch @SEDispatch]

Amen!

[Southeastern Dispatch @SEDispatch]
