From the editor
Triangle Restaurant Week is in full swing (until Sunday, June 11) and I’m drooling over O-Ku’s three course dinner special. I’m not sure if I’m more excited for the pan-seared salmon with miso soy butter and creamy orzo or the sata andagi — Okinawan style donut holes with sesame sugar and miso caramel.
