"A once-risky Tarboro restaurant that the owners feared might not survive its first year but that quickly became one of the region’s celebrated dining spots; strong local support and later destination traffic from nearby cities helped it reach a point where it was difficult to get a table. The restaurant played a central role in the couple’s professional and personal lives, contributing to both their successes and the strains on their marriage, and the author’s departure from the business has been a source of speculation and personal reflection." - Matt Lardie
