MeMa's Chick'n and Ribs- Burgaw, NC


About a year ago we stopped to eat at a restaurant in Burger and later walked into MeMa's to see what it was like. We quickly realized that we should have gone there instead. Well, that was easily corrected when we stopped off for lunch today. 

The decor is really nice with a very warm and welcoming staff. After perusing the menu for a couple of minutes I ordered the catfish with sweet potatoes and fried green beans. It was the best catfish I have ever eaten. Very moist with a nice crisp on the breading. The sweet potatoes had a touch of cinnamon added and were excellent, as were the green beans. 


Teresa got the special, a brisket sandwich with provolone and caramelized onions. I took a taste and the meat melted in my mouth. Amazing. 

It won't be another year before we go back. Stop by sometime and see what I mean. They have a website for more information.

Nigori Gourmet & Sushi Bar- Castle Hayne, NC


Nigori Gourmet & Sushi Bar recently opened a few miles from the house and we'd heard some good things about it. Here in the Wilmington area Chinese restaurants can be hit or miss so we were hoping for a hit.

I ordered the Dragon and Phoenix,, shown above, and Teresa got the chicken with broccoli. Both were excellent. 

Turned out to be a hit and given the proximity we'll be going there often.
