What do I love? Margaritas!🍹 Birria tacos (I le What do I love? Margaritas!🍹 Birria tacos (I learned today)! 🌮 Supporting the local food bank! I went to @13tacosandtaps for the first time today to help kick off The Margarita Battle fundraiser! Local food bloggers @citygirlcece and @nancyjthapa created two different margaritas—Tamarind Margarita and the OOO (with mango/passion fruit)—and a dollar from each margarita sale through August 10 will go to @foodbankcenc! I can’t pick a favorite because I love all margarita but go try them both and let me know which one has your vote! On another note, I was really happy with the ceviche from @13tacosandtaps! And OBSESSED with the birria tacos! I am late to the game but I love the broth and the cheesiness of the taco itself! Be like @nancyjthapa and ask for the special hot sauce! Did you get tacos today?!
🌻𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝘅 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸🌻 You’ve probably seen a hundred sunflower photos taken at @dixpark this year but I had to share mine because I am in love! I went today with my mom and Alex, and we were really impressed with how much they’ve improved the sunflower field over the last few years. The sunflowers themselves are much taller in comparison to years past, and there are so many! It’s basically impossible to not get a good photo with this beautiful of a backdrop. The sunflowers are near the soccer field so put “Dix Park Soccer Fields” in your GPS when you go! Did you get your sunflower photos this year? What fun thing(s) did you do this weekend? Outfit linked in bio! #liketoknowit #ltkunder50
♥️ Park’s Food Street - update & blog post ♥️ You know I’ve been loving @itaewongrill for a long time and that I went to @parks.food.street as soon as it opened! I went back recently and am happy to report their food has gotten even better since then. Park’s Food St has three different sections—Cup Dak, Taco Park and Ramyun Time. While I haven’t tried everything from their (extensive) menu, I’ve tried something from all three “restaurants”, and I’ve got to say the tacos have my heart! They were my favorite the very first time and still are—highly recommend the pork belly and shrimp tempura tacos. Swipe to see more photos, and check out my blog post (link in bio) for more recommendations! Have you checked out @parks.food.street? What’s been your favorite thing so far?
Survived the longest week of my life and rewarded Survived the longest week of my life and rewarded myself with a little outing! Swipe to see who else joined us for fun! This was our first time back at Parts & Labor since the pandemic, and their patio is 👌🏼👌🏼 I almost always get the hipster fries which is loaded with kimchi and bulgogi. Tried the cauliflower wings and the veggie samosas today. Had to end the night at @sugarkoiicecream while we were in downtown Durham! If you haven’t had their Thai tea ice cream, you’re missing out. (They also have ube!) What are your weekend plans? Any patios you’ve enjoyed recently?
Went to an old favorite place and tried a new thin Went to an old favorite place and tried a new thing today! Alex introduced me to @trueflavorsdiner when we started dating 5ever ago; it was actually our 3rd date which Alex calls our first successful date 😉 a lot has changed because Alex wanted to meet at 7am for that date and I had to drag Alex out of bed at 10am this morning 😂 True Flavors was also the very last place we dined before the shutdown—had a brunch complete with cocktails at the now-closed Lakewood location for the last hurrah (it was our attempt to support local businesses at the time)—so it was another full circle moment. What hasn’t changed through all this time is the delicious food at @trueflavorsdiner! We’ve enjoyed everything from their hash to biscuit and gravy. Today, we got the blueberry chipotle biscuit and chicken gravy biscuit. Funnily enough, the couple next to us had the same exact thing so you know it’s good! 😝 Have you had good brunch recently? What’s a restaurant that holds a special place in your heart?
