Tarheel Eater Visits Pizzeria Toro

"Most of the ingredients on the menu are local and served in season, so the toppings of the pizzas change from time to time....The crust was blackened from the wood flames making the thin dough nice and crunchy on the outside, yet a little soft and chewy on the inside. The peppers were very flavorful and had just a little kick to some of them and the sausage was sweet and a little spicy as well. Yum!"

Food 52 Makes Parker & Otis Pimento Cheese

"It would be impossible to declare any one version genius, new- or old-fangled, and to do so I would have to possess a boldness that I simply do not. Pimento cheese is genius, period. But this one, from Parker and Otis in Durham, North Carolina, is an excellent place to start. It has a low mayo-to-cheese ratio and a big dose of pimento -- both of which keep it strong and fierce....Best of all, Parker and Otis use it to make a jaw-dropping upgrade to a grilled cheese"
