How International Travel is Revolutionizing Pizza Making for American Restaurants

May 1, 2022 by Jim TorresLeave a Comment

Did you know that the number one comfort food for Americans is pizza? Yep. According to a Harris Poll, 67% of Americans claim pizza is their go-to, yummy indulgence. While that’s all well and good, our passion for pizza doesn’t always speak to the quality of our favorite nosh. To explain, many pizza joints are simply about slapping out pies in a soulless, conveyor-like process. That simply won’t do for hungry citizens of the pizza nation. … [Read more...]

Horror Talk with Rich Ragsdale – Director, Composer, Producer and Writer

September 19, 2021 by Teh Chin LiangLeave a Comment

“Ghost House” is one of the best horror movies I have seen in a long time. The horror elements are so original and raw  - the jump scare, the atmosphere, the soundtrack etc, everything is done completely right. The movie does not throw in excessive unnecessary special effects or follow the Hollywood’s formulaic scare tactics. It hit me in a way that most horror flicks hadn’t. I remember when the movie was over, I immediately pulled out my phone … [Read more...]

The Pull of Haystack Rock: Why I Keep Coming Back

January 14, 2019 by Courtney MyersLeave a Comment

I'm from a sleepy town in the Triad region of North Carolina. All my life, my parents took us kids to the closest beach on the east coast there was: good, old-fashioned Myrtle. Even back in the mid-1990s, it was a treasure trove of commercialism, with high-rise condos juxtaposed against centuries-old motels still somewhat holding on, amid the tearing down of the old Pavillion and the installation of a brand-new boardwalk. My toes never touched … [Read more...]
