Have a place we should check out? Share your hidden gem with me at jpucci@gannett.com It s every day, all day, John Frangakis said. And we enjoy it. Frangakis owns Zorba s Gyro, which his father, Tommy, opened on Raeford Road in Fayetteville in 1974.  If the bustling crowds you ll find at breakfast, lunch and dinner time are any indications, they re still going as strong as ever. 

Column: Wilber s had real barbecue, hospitality

Barbecue expert John Shelton Reed and I have different ideas. I spoke with him about the recent death of Wilber Shirley, the legendary founder of Wilber’s, one of North Carolinians’ favorite places to enjoy pit-cooked Eastern North Carolina barbecue. Wilberdean Shirley opened Wilber’s Barbecue in Goldsboro in 1962 and made it into an icon that became a local institution and attracted visitors from all over the state. Before the opening of the Highway 70 bypass, Wilber’s was a regular stop for Piedmont North Carolinians traveling to and from the beach. The loss of that business along with other factors led to Wilber’s closure two years ago.
