“Benchwarmers Bagels rises to the challenge in style. Sure, a rare charred bagel (the inevitable result of wood-fired baking) may slip past the controls from time to time. And New York transplants may quibble that these bagels — starting with dough slowly risen with a sourdough starter, then boiled in water that’s slightly sweetened with honey before baking — are not true New York-style bagels.”
“We can do our part to help swifts by keeping existing chimneys open,” Andrew Hutson, Audubon North Carolina’s executive director, said in a statement. “Property owners like Transfer Co. Food Hall are aiding these birds on their epic journeys south for the winter.”
Shoutout to Thrillist for this awesome list of America’s Best Breweries and including our vary own, Burial Beer Co. “Identifying the 13 essential breweries of now, the year of our Lord 2019, was an exercise in self torture -- making a list of 100 would be tough. But with the collective efforts of some of our most trusted beer writers and experts from across the nation, we whittled it down.”

“I’m the type to spend as little time in my hotel as possible. It’s where I brush my teeth and sleep. And sometimes—if there’s a phenomenal lobby bar—where I have a drink. But during a stay at Raleigh, North Carolina’s Guest House, a historic home that was recently transformed into an eight-room inn, I found myself spending a suspicious amount of time on the property.”
We raised over $23,000 at our Dunkin’ for Durham event, which is an amazing feat, but will still only make a dent in the wages lost over these past few months. We look forward to seeing how much higher this community can take the overall donation with our online continuation of the Dunkin' For Durham Silent Auction.

“At Benchwarmers in Raleigh, NC, they take their bagels seriously. They use fresh-milled Red Turkey wheat and Einkorn. The dough goes through a three-day fermentation process. They bake everything in a 10,000-pound, ripping hot wood-fired oven. And then they stuff their No. 5 bagel sandwich with Lay’s Kettle Cooked potato chips. Because, thankfully, they don’t take themselves too seriously.”

“On the wall, a school of mullet swims toward the Carolina coast, the silhouette of barrier islands and the undulating line of mainland stark against the aqua sea. Where I’m standing would be just beyond the western edge of the map, at the newly-opened Locals Oyster Bar in Raleigh’s Transfer Co. Food Hall, which has slowly been rolling out new vendors. And I’m ready for seafood.”

Benchwarmers Bagels is pushing back against the bagel world’s geography bias. For what seems like forever, a myth has been boiled and baked into a kind of accepted truth. If the bagel you’re eating didn’t come from the New York boroughs or Montreal, what’s even the point? It may look like a bagel, taste like a bagel, lodge poppyseeds between your teeth like a bagel, but if hailing from all the elsewheres in-between, it’s treated as something less than the real thing.
The food shop and restaurant specializes in a farm-fresh Italian specialties and fresh pasta sold by the pound. Alimentari offers a whole-animal butcher and charcuterie shop with animals sourced from Cane Creek and Braeburn Farms.
