Because of the quarantine, I've been having groceries delivered. I don't like ordering produce from…read morea grocery store, because I can't see it first. That's not a problem with Papa Spuds! Even though I can't see it, I know everything will come freshly picked and very clean (although I still wash it all). They say they have "grocery store prices." I'm not sure I agree--the prices were a bit higher than the stores where I usually shop, but the freshness and quality make up for the difference. At Papa Spuds, you order online between Friday afternoon and Monday at 12 p.m. From 12 to 1 on Monday, you can get discounted produce, but they had a limited selection when I tried this. Later on Monday, you get an email telling you when they'll deliver. The packaging is recyclable, and you're expected to put it out on the morning of the next delivery, so it can be reused. I like that you have the choice of buying a weekly or bi-weekly box. Although I haven't tried any, yet, they also offer meat and seafood, along with the more-common fruits, vegetables and dairy products.

Flowers Bakery Outlet sells name-brand organic and whole wheat bread at greatly discounted prices,…read morebut note that the breads can be close to their expiration/best by dates and are not fresh from the bakery. Nonetheless, if you are shopping for bread for toast, bread pudding or meat loaf, and do not require freshly baked bread, this outlet is worth a try. They also carry a wide variety of snacks (chips, cookies, wafers, crackers), some discounted relative to usual prices and others not. Extra star for the accommodating bakery personnel who provided answers to Q's and information about new deliveries.

Whether it's bread, a baked good treat, or chips, everything is always fresh and at a discounted price. This time I found some bagels made by Dave's Killer Bread company which are organic and made with non GMO whole grain ingredients. Two packages of bagels for $4 was a deal, I thought! The employees are always really friendly and the place is kept clean and tidy. Check it out if you haven't already!

As a regular patron the past 4 months of this fine local bakery, once or twice weekly at my…read moreCarrboro farmers' market, I have come to rely on Box Turtle for my regular breads and the occasional English muffin. Abraham has been kind enough to cut me a half loaf when I don't want a whole loaf that I might not finish by my next visit, and lately I have been favoring his plain spelt bread which has a sturdy flavor that is perfect for my open face lunch sandwiches. Today though I was looking for tortillas to use up some leftover chicken with and was delighted to find a packet of six, also made from spelt, at his stand, they can be frozen for future use. The spelt tortilla I steamed tonight had an earthy texture and a richness that beats just about any of the usual corn or flour ones from your typical Mexican eatery. Chapelboro residents are lucky to have Box Turtle in the community.

I was lucky enough to get regular weekly bread deliveries from Box Turtle Bakery for awhile there…read more I happened to be on Abraham's weekly route, so it worked out. Now I'll have to actually venture out to Carrboro's Farmer's Market or South Estes Farmer's Market to get his home baked breads and treats. And when I say home baked, I mean literally baked in the special custom designed wood burning bread baking oven attached to the home bakery in his house. Abraham's philosophy is to work closely with local farmers and use fresh milled organic and local grains for his breads and other baked goods where ever possible. Of course, he sells locally too. If you can't get to him at the farmer's markets, you can always work out a time to pick up your order at the Bakery itself. What can I say? You have to work for it a bit, but it sure is worth it. Oh, and just to trip you up, expect some variety! Abraham likes to try new and different recipes and there's something interesting to sink your teeth into and wake up your taste buds just about every week. Disclaimer: I count Abraham as a friend so, yes, I'm pretty excited about what he's doing. But, come on... this isn't some spongy boring white bread with dubious nutritional value we're talking about. This is SERIOUS BREAD! Don't even tell me your mouth isn't watering right now. Mine sure is!

Honestly came here because the other bagel shop I wanted to try was closed already, but was happy…read moreto have tried this place and discovered the Food Hall! I got the chicken katsu: the chicken and the Togarashi sesame bagel itself were great; I think the sauce could be less sweet and more spicy. The hall seemed busy but my food was ready by the time I finished ordering a drink from another vendor. Very convenient spot with AC, seating, free wifi, and clean bathrooms to fuel up before my hike. If I ever come back to North Carolina, this is definitely on my list to revisit.

I love a place with multiple, vegan bagel sandwich options! I appreciate that they have an entire…read moresandwich designed as vegan (rather than simply a "vegan" version that removes cheese or uses fake meat). I've gotten three of their vegan bagel options, the vegan Kimchi Lox, the Lebanese Spicy Tofu, and the Vegan Bahn Mi. I think that the food isn't exceptional, but it's filling & again, they have some well done vegan options. The Lebanese Spicy Tofu was definitely the best of the three (but a big mess, beware!). The Vegan Bahn Mi (pictured) was good, but maybe a bit underseasoned. The vegan Kimchi Lox is of course also quite messy, but of course doesn't have any protein on it. In our experience, it's best to just order online, and then go pick it up at the time (due to the wait time). We will often get coffee at Liturgy or Foster, and then just walk over when it's time. It's inside Durham Food Hall, which is, unfortunately, always quite loud, but there are tables outside and a park nearby you can sit at if you'd prefer. Overall, one of the better vegan options in the food hall.

Would have helped if it was marked as to what was in the tin. Decided to try it anyway and the proteins were over cooked. Not just a little but not burned. Just straight up dry.

We placed a large Thanksgiving order with Chef Mario, Inc. in Raleigh, and they never delivered it…read more Not late -- never. We tried calling multiple times and only reached an answering service that couldn't provide any real help. No one from the actual business ever called us back. No updates. No explanation. No apology. Nothing. For a holiday order that families rely on, this level of disregard is unacceptable. We were left scrambling at the last minute because this company simply did not show up or communicate. Based on our experience, Chef Mario, Inc. feels completely unreliable, and we strongly urge others to think twice before placing an order. A business that takes holiday payments and then disappears is not one you should trust with something this important. Avoid the headache -- look elsewhere.
