Southern Living Magazine named my hometown of Durham, NC as the Tastiest Town in the South. This week I want to introduce you to two of the reasons Durham stands out.
Meet Bernie and Jill--the mother-daughter team known as Traveling Eats!
I met these two ladies at a cupcake decorating workshop that I taught a couple of months ago. Last week I caught up with them at a local craft beer shop, where they were meeting, greeting and offering some fantastic treats!
The venue was Beer Durham, a charming bottle shop in Durham, NC.

Ashley and Chad offer 20 craft beers on tap, plus bottles and cans, locally made snacks and wine. It's a great spot for a beer and banter in a terrific location right next to the Durham Farmer's Market.
Jill and Bernie have a way with single-serving treats! They are full of great ideas for flavor combinations and innovative ways to serve their delectable offerings. Here is a shot of some of their goodies from last week:
They had a huge menu of mouthwatering goodies baked in waffle bowls! How cool is that? I had that one in the middle--chocolate cake with peanut buttercream. I can't remember all of the flavors, but I also sampled their fresh Blueberry Pancake treat, topped with lemon curd.

Jill is FEARLESS when it comes to trying new things! Look at this one--Chicken and Waffles with maple syrup! If you aren't a southerner, that combination may sound crazy...but don't knock it until you try it, it's a sweet and savory delicacy--especially this one!
Abelskivers--Danish pancakes! See, I told you--these two are full of great--DELICIOUS-- ideas! These women are AMAZING bakers! Keep up with Jill and Bernie on Facebook here:
Beer Durham is the perfect combination of a friendly neighborhood tavern and a boutique carrying the finest artisan brews. Here's staffer Theresa with Ashley and Chad. While in Durham, don't miss it! More about Beer Durham here:
