Brunswick Stew Festival (squirrel optional)

One of my favorite festivals is this weekend, and this time, the weather might actually be right for it. After being unseasonably warm the last few years, Saturday, November 6 looks to be chilly enough to actually enjoy Brunswick Stew.

Autumn Wine Dinner at Olio

It’s almost November, and restaurants all around are introducing fall menu items (if the weather ever decides to catch up). Next week, Olio will prepare seasonally appropriate dishes made with the best local, organic, and imported gourmet ingredients for their November 5th wine dinner.

And no, it’s not a place that sells cinnamon buns. Say the name out loud and tell me that’s not what you thought too. This is not your typical multiplex. […]
