Over the march of the full of color 103-year history, the rare wedge-shaped construction opposite from Carr Mill Mall in downtown Carrboro has housed a accumulation of enterprises, from post bureau to pharmacy to unruly bar. Since 1998, the make up has been home to the Spotted Dog, a infrequent eatery with a celebrity as accessible as the name and as individualist as the construction it inhabits.
The menu, an heterogeneous brew of vegetarian and nonvegetarian fare, was desirous by the food preferences of the owners, Linda Bourne (a vegetarian) and Karin Mills (a someday beef eater). Under dainty headings such as Kibbles "n" Bits (appetizers) and Fetch "n" Catch (seafood), the gift covers the spectrum from hummus to burger (beef or veggie) to particular buttermilk-battered fish and chips.
Not surprisingly, given the scarcity of meat-free options in the Triangle, the grill has turn a renouned end for vegetarians. You dont have to be a vegetarian, though, to conclude the fast recognition of specialties such as black-eyed-pea cakes, veggie "soy chicken" BBQ (which boasts a surprisingly palatable hardness and a tip recipe vinegar-based sauce) or The Green Tofudabeast, a towering of organic churned greens and alternative veggies surfaced with grilled cooking tofu. The gift has stretched over the years, but the food stays as unobtrusive and as simply gratifying as ever.
The Spotted Dogs pick up of canine-themed art has grown, too, and right away probably each block in. of the dining room walls is lonesome in paintings, photographs, coop and ink drawings and the occasional stenciled duke print. One artifact stays precisely where it has been given the grill non-stop in Nov 1998: a life-size statue of a Dalmatian nearby the entrance, holding in the mouth a bucket to pick up donations for a internal animal charity. Its tough to suppose a some-more befitting mascot for the grill that has proven to be a true messenger for downtown Carrboro.
