Yummmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!…read more This food is so good. I ordered on-line and picked it up at the Durham Farmers Market. The food was all frozen which was great for packing up and taking home to Buffalo. I made the enchiladas the same day and the rest came home with me. The squash and poblano enchiladas were amazing. There're smothered in a creamy cashew based white sauce and stuff with seasoned saucy butternut squash, chopped poblanos, and navy beans. They were excellent and my non-vegan sister who has very high flavor standards thought so as well. The love of my life, who can be picky at times, tasted them as well and thought they were good. When I got back home I tried the pastel de yuca stuffed with black beans and rice. I put it in the air fryer for 15 minutes at 300 degrees and it was perfect. The instructions were for oven or microwave, but I think I made the right choice. It was big and tasty though I did steal some of the slaw that goes with the papusas for a little crunch and brightness. I also got tamales and the aforementioned papusas, but I they're still in the freezer. HIGHLY recommend. You can get it hot at the farmers market but if you want 100 things like I did, order ahead and either get it delivered for $5 or choose a pick-up site.

The best pandemic take-out/delivery, plant-based, latin food ever…read more I've always been a fan of Silvana's food since even back in the day when it was just a farmer's market hidden gem (I guess it still kinda is). Not sure why I took so long to write a review, but I think this pandemic reminded me why her food is so good: her food is highly affordable, highly nutritious, freezes very well, and most of all it's DELICIOUS. For people who need suggestions or are just starting out on Latin plant-based food, I think this is a good selection to start with: Taco Kit: Super delicious and easy to put together. The key is warming up a tortilla properly (don't eat with cold tortillas!). The salsa is sooo good and I think the barbacoa filling would delight even meat lovers. Mushrooms & Kale Polenta Lasagna: The best. This is like the dish you bring to a party and 1 year later people will still be talking about it. Tamales: They are amazing. The fillings are great, but sriracha is my personal fav. The masa surrounding the fillings is flavorful (sometimes I like to sprinkle extra salt on mine). Also, tamales made with banana leaves aren't the easiest thing to find. Roasted plantains: Simple and delicious! Sometimes other places make this and they cook it to where it almost becomes mush. This has body to it. You can also torch this and caramelize the sugars more. YUM! Yucca Gnocchi with lemon cauliflower sauce: I've always been a fan of this dish. So delicious. What's super cool is that yucca has a lower glycemic index than potato, so this is perfect for gnocchi lovers who want to cut down on potatoes. Enjoy! [written while eating a tamale]

Redstart Foods was one of my favorite food finds of the summer. If I lived in the area I could see…read moremyself being a regular here, and I'm jealous of those who are regulars. I tried both dinner and brunch over a short weekend stay in the area and both were 10/10. Everything here is homemade and beyond fresh. I had a grits special and it was the best I've ever had. The chicken dinner seems to be the most popular dinner item here, but I broke the mold and went with the pork and it was fantastic. I am not a potato person, but the side potatoes were phenomenal. The back patio makes for a great place to enjoy a meal and linger over a beer or tap natural wine. The inside is a little more hectic and not somewhere I would linger. There is also a little market with some grab and go items and beer/wine. A true neighborhood gem!

Her food is made with fresh ingredients and taste really good. My favorite meals were the braised short ribs and the Peruvian chicken with plantains and corn.

I will def be ordering some of meals soon! You should as well if you are in the Raleigh area or need a chef for your next event.

In Durham, our go-to Harris Teeter is on the one on 54, but we happened to be on Ninth Street…read moreeating at Juju so we stopped by this location to pick up a couple groceries before heading home. Based on my single visit to this location, it seems bigger and a little bit nicer than the Harris Teeter we normally go to. It also seems better stocked. We picked up a 10-oz box of Fresh Express 50/50 Mix of spring mix and spinach ($4.99) and a 48-oz container of Harris-Teeter-cut watermelon chunks ($5.00). It rang up to $10.19 after tax and using my wife's Kroger Plus membership (VIC customer), she got double fuel points for the month. The store was clean and on a Wednesday evening around 7:30pm, most of the clientele appeared to be Duke students. Not surprising considering Duke East Campus is just two blocks away. This Harris Teeter has both a Starbucks and a pharmacy inside. This is Harris Teeter store #394 and you can find it at the Shops at Erwin Mill at the corner of Hillsborough Rd and 9th St in Old West Durham. This is a relatively busy area.

What I recommend: Avoid ordering cakes from this location…read more We ordered a sheet cake from the Harris Teeter bakery for a veterans dinner this past weekend to celebrate and honor those who served. Unfortunately, what we received was extremely disappointing. The cake was poorly decorated and looked like very little effort or care went into it. When we brought it up to the baker, she brushed us off and said we could request a refund if we wanted, but that she wouldn't do anything to fix it. The event was only two hours away, and thankfully, the amazing staff at the Whole Foods bakery stepped in and helped us get cakes for 67 people with just an hour's notice. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend this Harris Teeter location for cakes, especially if you need something that looks even halfway presentable.

I've had several lunches delivered from Ghost Kitchen and have always had a good experience…read more They are a delivery-only outfit and their menu is pretty comprehensive, including everything from appetizers, wings, and side dishes to entrees, salads, and sandwiches. I've always gone with one of the sandwich offerings -- the grilled chicken, the Angus burger, or the chicken pita. Each of these comes with your choice of a side -- I've always gone with a salad (well prepared) or chips (real ones, not the kind you would get out of a bag). Each meal has been excellent, and the delivery always friendly and prompt. I recently went to place another online lunch order from Ghost Kitchen but saw something about their being closed for the summer - bummer, but that's the only negative at all that I can think of.

If you get a little too far from their heated porch area! The vibes just don't stop.

The outdoor patio was wonderful. Not too loud. Some good seating options. You can access the bar from out there too. Took awhile to get to order while waiting in line. I had something purple... french 75? It was just okay. Jell-o shots were made with MEZCAL that night which my group found sooo gross. So beware. Overall I see the hype. But when we left around 10:30 or so the line was down the stairs, out the door, and down the block. I don't know if it was worth THAT.
