Welcome to Triangle Foodies

We're Amanda and Todd Olson -- a husband and wife team living in the Research Triangle Park area in North Carolina that are passionate about food and wine. A bunch of people have independently told us that we're "foodies," because we love sharing honest reviews about all the restaurants we've tried. We thought a blog would be a great medium to archive and share our restaurant reviews (it certainly makes it easier to remember).

If you're like us, then you'll agree that there simply are not many good resources for learning about great restaurants. We live in an area where Hardee's is consistently ranked the best hamburger on Citysearch. Pretty insane.

The Triangle is an odd place, with fantastic restaurants hidden away in strip malls that only locals know about. People often don't travel amongst the different locales. The area is growing so rapidly that there are many new dining choices almost weekly.

Focus
- Location: anything food-related in the RTP area including Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, and others.
- Type: All. Typically non-chain (certainly non-national chains)

Style
Typically we'll each review restaurants based on our own tastes. This will give both a male/female look at every establishment. We have 2 kids, so most posts will have some information on the kid-factor. From time to time our 10-yr-old may even be a guest blogger.

Note: we are not professional food reviewers, so please don't expect us to sample everything from a menu!

Bon Appetit,

Amanda and Todd Olson
