 There's Just Somethin' About an Amazin' Brunch...

The Flying Biscuit's Gotcha' Covered!

The Raleigh and Charlotte Crews reunited this past weekend to hippie it up at the Charlotte 5K Color Run! The event known as "The Happiest 5K on the Planet" was pretty happy, not gonna lie! Check out their website to catch this race in your city! In North Carolina?? Register now for the Winston-Salem Color Run on March 16th, 2013!

Before

And...After The Color Run

My friends were in town for the race weekend, and I am lucky that they enjoy trendy restaurants serving great eats and strong drinks..YES PLEASE! This past weekend, we checked out a couple great hot spots that I will definitely visit again and highly recommend.

The Liberty

Let's start with the Friday Pre-Race dinner fuel at The Liberty. We ordered their Pretzel Appetizer served with Cheddar Fondue and Spicy Mustard dipping sauces and opted for their delicious Organic Veggie Burgers sans fries. Instead, we all chose alternate options such as their Sherry-Rosemary-Lemon Mushrooms and Green Beans! In my opinion, they have one of the best Veggie Burgers in town. Check out their menu description for The Liberty Organic House-Made Veggie Burger including: goat cheese, organic greens, tomato, and Aioli. We added avocado and removed the Aioli leaving room for one more guilt-free beer. Need a cheat option?? Truffle Fries are super tasty!

The Flying Biscuit

We had an early race and after finishing decided it was Mimosas and Brunch Time...yyaaayyy! The Flying Biscuit Cafe is an amazing restaurant and very reasonably priced!!  There are two locations, and we visited the Park Road Shopping Center Restaurant which is similarly decorated but larger than the Stonecrest Location.

Super Awesome Mimosas...CHECK!

This is my new favorite brunch place...we had a table of 8 and not a single complaint! Go Team! My Roomie and I, had the Egg-Stravaganza: (straight from their menu) Two Large Farm Fresh Eggs served with Chicken Sausage, Crisp Turkey Bacon, Creamy Dreamy Grits, Plus Whole Wheat French Toast topped with Raspberry Sauce and Honey Creme Anglaise...and if that isn't enough, we added an order of Rosemary Potatoes too...yikes! My friends ordered the High Flyer, Meggxican Wrap and Turkey Hash which all looked super yummy as well. Check out these places with your friends and family members...NO MORE IHOP!

The Egg-Stravaganza NOM! NOM! NOM!

And Mrs. Kettler's Breakfast...

The High Flyer

I am thankful for Great Friends, Great Eats, and Great Runs!
