SOUTHEASTERN NC Chef Bud Taylor often thinks back to his childhood when burgers were the most simple, deliciously appealing meal: two 4-ounce patties, grilled with crispy edges, and topped however the local gas station or bowling alley served them best.
“Every little mom-and-pop grocery store or general store and gas station had a grill, and each one of them had their own interpretation of that burger,” Taylor said.

If the new restaurants popping up in and around Wilmington are any indication, locals are hungry for seafood.
From Coast Craft Cocktails & Calabash in Carolina Beach to a new food truck from Maya’s Crab Shack in Riegelwood, there are a handful of new fish-focused choices in the area.
One exception is the CBT Burger food truck. It’s the latest venture from chef Bud Taylor, who closed the popular restaurant The Bistro at Topsail in early 2019.
Since then he’s been working as a builder, but missed cooking.
“I thought this would be something fun I could do on the weekends,” he said.
