Traveling Eats at Beer Durham: sweet treats meet craft beer!

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:
