13 Hottest Restaurants in the Triangle, October 2024
"There’s been a trend in institutional dining (think hospitals and colleges) towards offering more locally sourced options, and Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) has spent the last few years turning over some of its more generic dining venues to familiar Triangle dining names. The latest is Crawford’s Genuine, from Scott Crawford (Jolie, Crawford & Son, and more), located in Terminal 2. The menu is chock full of some of the modern American cuisine Crawford has become known for, like his take on Brunswick stew, shoyu barbecue pork ribs, roasted half chicken, and more. Travelers might want to arrive at RDU earlier and not just for the TSA lines now, although taking the “genuine” smash burger (two beef patties, pimento cheese, and bacon onion jam) on the plane risks causing extreme jealousy among one’s fellow passengers." - Matt Lardie
