The Durham Arts Council is helping to launch Viva Hub, a  Groupon/LivingSocial type site. Viva Hub is different from other discount sites in that it pairs up non-profits and businesses to give a portion of the sales back to the community.

As with Living Social and Groupon, folks up for an account and start receiving deals. Currently on their site they are offering deals benefiting the Durham Arts Council for Dos Perros, Pop’s, Rue Cler, Six Plates Wine Bar and more.

The current restaurant deals.

Olde North State BBQ has been regularly making appearances outside of Fullsteam for quite some time, but it has never worked out for me to give their grub a try. This changed last Saturday during the Art Walk. Olde North State BBQ was parked outside of Golden Belt and after a heated game of putt-putt (can we start a petition to keep the Art Walk/Scrap Exchange putt-putt course a permanent Durham fixture?) I decided to give them a try.

Another new truck on the streets of Durham is Big City Sandwiches, a healthy sandwich truck. This is not a review as I didn’t actually try their sandwiches. This is just a quick post to let folks know about Big City Sandwiches, their menu, their prices and what one of their sandwiches looks like.

From their website:
Big City Sandwiches is the Triangle’s premier food truck, bringing famous sandwiches from big cities across the US directly to the streets of the Triangle area. We specialize in preparing sandwiches that …

With so many food trucks/trailers/carts on the streets of Durham, it’s becoming hard to keep up and a truck’s premier barely makes a ripple. As was the case with the launch of MaMa Duke’s on Friday night outside the much-beloved Sam’s Quik Shop. There were no lines and we strolled up, ordered a kebab plate to share, grabbed a beer out of Sam’s cooler and sat on one of Sam’s two picnic tables to enjoy our eats. It was the perfect food truck experience.

MaMa Duke’s, Mediterranean eats …

May 5 is another one of those amazing days in Durham. Not only is it Cinco de Mayo, a great excuse to drink a margarita or visit a taqueria, but is also the annual Museum of Life and Science’s Magic Wings Festival and the official Kick-Off to Beaver Queen season.

Museum of Life and Science’s Magic Wings Festival
As most Durham families are well aware, The Museum of Life and Science is another one of those great treasures of Durham. We’ve taken many an out-of-town guest to check out …

Motorco is showing the short film “Foodie,” a dark food-focused comedy from Eryk Pruitt, formerly the GM of Blu on May 17. In Pruitt’s own words it’s “about a food-service industry professional who is invited to an exclusive, underground dinner party and discovers there’s much more on the menu than he bargained for.” I’ve heard some of Blu’s fine staff appear as extras in the film.

KoKyu will be there with an exclusive menu created around the food served in the film. (The movie seems to involve …
