This Friday Five recap from Field Notes (my Substa

This Friday Five recap from Field Notes (my Substack) has been sitting in my drafts for a while, and I am so excited to finally get it live! Here are 5 NC restaurants I have tried this year that are either new or new-to-me — and I haven’t stopped yapping about them since 🍽️
🍔 A smash burger & homemade chips from @fizz_ed_boone in @exploreboone that completely won me over as takeaway to @mastfarminn
🥪 @lrbprovisions in @durhamnc — the highly-anticipated newcomer that absolutely lives up to the hype
🍷 @laganaraleigh in @visitraleigh , which is genuinely my most-recommended spot right now (Tuesday half-price wine bottles, anyone?)
🍳 @delanceytavern in Durham for a Sunday brunch that gave me the best French toast I have ever eaten — and a deviled egg dip I am still thinking about
🥩 @therustleratthemills @rockymountmills, where the menu is simple, the steak and salad bar are perfect, and they make a helluva dirty martini
Bonus: all of my Substack notes end with a photo of Ruthie, so BGR makes her debut at the end of this one 🐾

Let’s talk about fall in Blowing Rock 🍁🏔️
Crisp air, a cozy, a charming downtown with delicious restaurants and unique shops, and close to amazing hikes. I updated my full guide to this Blue Ridge Mountains gem — hiking trails, wineries, can’t-miss restaurants, and where we stayed (say hi to resident ducks 🦆). Save this for your next mountain getaway!

Our 2026 porch reveal is here! 🍁🧡
Big mums, a pile of pumpkins, lanterns on a timer, and a very *im*patient models. I am sharing all my fall front porch tips on the blog, including:
🎃 Why there’s no such thing as too many pumpkins
🌼 My favorite “mum pals” for fall planters
🕯️ The lantern trick that makes the porch glow
💧 How to water mums (hint: not the blooms!) — Special thanks to @fairviewgardencenter for the tips! 🩵🌿
Plus a look back at my porches from 2019 to 2025. Which fall porch staple are you: mums, pumpkins, or cornstalks?
