Genius day-date unlocked ✨
Both on leave, nowhere to be but here — lunch at at the doing it exactly right. Clover Club + Nocella cocktails 🥂, butternut squash soup, beef tartare, porcetta sandwich with fries (that lemon zest?? unreal), and a chirashi bowl that deserves its own post.

Finished the afternoon with a slow walk around the lake on the Greenway, soaking up a perfect 75° day, feeding Goldie in the shade, catching her diaper change before it turned into a blowout and resting like pros. Feelin like today’s a good day to play the lottery?? Proof that the best plans are good food, good weather, and nowhere else to rush to 💛

🍽️ never misses. 🍽️

If you’re searching for one of the best restaurants in Greensboro, NC, Machete continues to raise the bar. Their rotating cocktail list currently some interesting cheese liquors basically making a wildly creative charcuterie in a glass with cheese and berry flavors.

We kicked things off with the beef tartare, beautifully balanced and full of flavor. Dinner highlights included the seabass—and we snagged the very last plate before it sold out, plus baby back ribs that literally fell off the bone.

Dessert was impossible to choose just one. The limoncello dulce de leche cake was Blake’s favorite—bright, rich, and perfectly balanced. My favorite? The ice cream sampler, where the s’mores flavor completely stole the show followed by the tea and olive oil ice cream. And yes, the sweet potato funnel cake is an absolute must.

This is the kind of chef-driven creativity that makes Machete Greensboro a standout in the downtown Greensboro dining scene—perfect for date night, celebrations, or anyone craving something special in North Carolina dining.

now open in Rocky Mount! Blake got the wings tossed in bbq and tenders with the slim sauce and sweet and sour dip, with fries. I got the 4 tenders with ranch, cayenne ranch, and garlic Parmesan. It was good but now I know all I need is my tried and true classic ranch in the future! The Mac is extremely saucy, so I’ll go with the french fries or try out the fried pickles next time!

☀️ Summer sips & savory bites at Larema! ☕🍋
Come cool down with our homemade lemonade and treat yourself to a daily lunch fave. Blake was super happy with his big buffalo chicken wrap. I’ve never been able to steer away from the breakfast sandwich with turkey sausage, runny egg, and pimento cheese on a croissant but now that they have fresh bagels I am so glad I tried it on an everything bagel!
