One of the greatest rewards I have experienced through my explorations of the Triangle and writing my blog is meeting great new people. Over the past few years of blogging I have made many new friends and learned a lot from them about the local Triangle foodie scene. At the top of the list of a great foodie friends in the know is Johanna Kramer, aka the “durhamfoodie“. Johanna recently published an incredible new book that every food lover in the Triangle should have.
