From the Appalachian Mountains to the Outer Banks and gems like Asheville, the Triangle, Wilmington, and everything in between, North Carolina is evolving from a tobacco-centric state to a culinary destination focused on innovation, sustainability, and preserving Southern history and culture in inventive progressive ways.
Once an iconic tobacco town, Durham is quickly becoming one of the most dynamic foodie havens in the Tarheel State.
