Zach W.'s Profile

I've probably spent more than $10K over the past few years for my comedy theater, our summer camps and annual comedy festival. The turnaround has been phenomenal. Every order I've put in has come back ahead of schedule and I couldn't be happier with the quality of work. Definitely check them out.
I can't believe that I haven't talked about Nested yet. What a great store. I get my journals here and a new datebook every December. I also buy ALL my family holiday gifts and wedding presents here.
For better or worse I went to get a burger on Saturday after Midnight. It was delicious. 100% Angus Beef -- Yeah, I could have had Turkey Burger, but it was my first time. Single patty was good enough for me, but I added Bacon. The sweet tea was top notch and the Red Velvet cake was fresh -- Yeah, I could have *not* had a slice of Red Velvet cake, but I mean, c'mon. Also the staff was SUPER friendly.
I just went into the new shop last week. So much space. Can't wait to see what more they do. It's closer to the main part of Franklin (not a lot closer, but even just one block makes it seems more walkable for students).

I don't buy comics, but I buy gifts for a lot of people who are comic nerds and this place helps me do that without judging me for not being a part of that "scene" - I also want to congratulate them on expanding so much since 2005. Awesome store.

Tcby Yogurt

Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
TCBY Yogurt - that's like ATM Machine or Jumbo Shrimp. Maybe just ATM Machine. It's certainly a yogurt store located in THE country but not necessarily the country's BEST. It's seriously come a long way since the late 90s. The inside of the store is a lot less sterile, but the atmosphere could be improved. I recommend the White Chocolate Mousse (try a shiver with fresh strawberry and chocolate chips).
The Loop comes from the Chicago-style Deep Dish pizza. The Loop is what people call the train tracks that circle the downtown business district. Anyway... I have been eating here for a long time. The ICE is the best ice in the area. I suggest the Chicken Caesar Salad (you need to ASK for a hot chicken breast on top, otherwise you get cold chicken slices and half the amount of meat). The homemade garlic croutons are amazing. But sometimes, because it's an order and then wait for your number to get called sort of place, the wait can be a bit much.
I have been on Local Arts panels with the Artscenter Executive Director and we have hosted the North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival at the Artscenter since 2006. DSI has had an Artist-in-Residence help run afterschool programs and I highly recommend the Youth Performing Arts Conservatory. The Artscenter has programming for the entire community. Support them.

Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
How many times have I spent ALL night working and ended the night with a biscuit at Sunrise shortly after Sunrise? A lot. It's delicious. Chicken biscuits. Bacon, Egg and Tomato biscuits. Awesome. Sometimes I think it's a toss up between Sunrise and Bojangles, but unless Bojangles opens up in downtown Carrboro (unlikely) Sunrise gets my business. Don't make your order too complicated. It won't work out.
Non Smoking = Awesome (AGREED) As another local entertainment business owner I have to admit that the Cat's Cradle has been a role model for me for a long time. I can't wait for the day that DSI becomes the Cat's Cradle of Comedy, attracting groups from all over the country that want to play a set in North Carolina.
I have seen so much music here. Its great that people can be all like "YO! I WANT TO SEE LIVE MUSIC" and there are times when people can see a completely different genre of music every single night of the week. Can the bathrooms at a concert venue ever be awesome? If so, that's an area all local venues could investigate.

I dig Neal's Deli the most. Congratulations to Matt and his awesome wife for opening this place up. The pastrami sandwich is the best in the state. Nothing like it outside of New York (that I've seen). The muffaletta is incredible. And the hot dogs are served on PRETZEL BREAD. It can be kind of expensive depending on what you order, but you can get a cup of water. You don't really need that cream soda every time ;) Parking can be difficult to navigate, but you can find a place. It's carrboro.
