🔥 Your Flavortown picks

Our readers love NOFO for a classic Southern meal. | Photo by RALtoday
We wanted to know where you would send Guy Fieri if he were to roll into town, and you delivered some hot and fresh picks. Here are just a few of your Fieri-worthy eateries in addition to ours. We couldn’t fit them all, but let’s just say y’all have great taste.

(ish) delicatessen, 702 N. Person St.
City Editor Allie will take any chance to talk about ish, so thanks to Trixie T. for suggesting this one. Owner Matt Fern loves sandwiches, and it shows in this somewhat Southern, somewhat Jewish, and totally unique deli. We recommend the BL(R)T & Blue with roasted tomatoes and a heavy smattering of blue cheese.

J. Betski’s, 1916 Bernard St.
Enjoy central European fare with a hint of Southern inspiration, like the pierogi burger, the petite filet mignon served with borscht sauce, and traditional German spaetzle. Top off your meal with central European beers + wine, too — thanks Cathy L. for this tasty recommendation.

NOFO @ The Pig, 2014 Fairview Rd.
Housed in a former Piggly Wiggly, this Five Points spot offers classic Southern food like rich shrimp + grits, an apple cider-marinated pork chop, and cornmeal-coated trout. Plus, shop the market for specialty foods made in NC and the South — thank you Jeremy S. for suggesting this classic eatery.

Watkins Grill, 1625 Wake Forest Rd.
In business since 1947, this long-running greasy spoon serves top-notch breakfast foods out of a rustic dining room near TrunkShow. You’ll feel transported to another decade here, and don’t miss the daily pies.

The Wrap

From the editor
This article from Triangle Business Journal about Canes owner Tom Dundon is really fascinating and bodes well for the future of pro sports in Raleigh. The Canes aren’t leaving Raleigh anytime soon, and Dundon is possibly the biggest proponent of MLB in the 919. Time will tell, but I think it’s about time for a pro ballpark in Raleigh.
