re: Fayetteville Recommendations for Traveling Tigers

Maybe I should say "Unsuccessful" instead of underrated. Like you said, his menu carried Bordino's for years.

Picasso's Pizza out on Wedington was really good that he ran. The Shrimp Diablo pizza (which he also put on the Mezza Luna menu) was fantastic. He tried to do that El Jabali place after Mezza Luna, but I never tried it.

Anyway, I guess my point is that I'm excited to see how he can do as just the head chef of a place again. Hopefully it gives him some stability to develop a good menu and a good following again. I'd heard that he had a non-compete with Bordino's when he left there that disallowed him from working within a certain radius of the restaurant in order to keep him out of downtown when he left there. Maybe that non compete has expired since he's going to be at Table on the Hill... or maybe that was all BS
