Exploring Raleigh NC Videri Chocolate Factory

-
Several months ago Stephanie, Caleb, Maggie and ventured to Videri Chocolate Factory in Raleigh NC.  I had heard good things so I could not wait to experience it myself.   So off we went...
I love the interior all the old wood and brick.
Below is a quote from their website...
"Videri Chocolate Factory began as the shared dream of three chocolate lovers: Sam, Starr, and Chris. From the moment Sam first sunk his hands into a bag of cocoa beans, he knew he had a love for making delicious gourmet chocolate, and the talent to match." 
They have several items for sale in their showroom.
Below is another quote from their website.  I left the links for you to check out.
Explore the three parts of our factory:
  • The retail space, where you're able to shop for chocolate or sip on a freshly brewed coffee.
  • The factory floor, where you can witness all the chocolate making magic from start to finish.
  • The outdoor patio, where you're free to relax and enjoy your organic chocolate. Oh, and did we mention the patio is BYOB? Well, it is!

I did enjoy a shot of sipping chocolate.  Yummy!

Not sure of the story behind the art but you can see there are chocolates involved.
I looked up the word Videri thinking maybe it meant fox.  I was wrong.  Here is Wikipedia says
"Esse quam videri is a Latin phrase meaning "To be, rather than to seem". It has been used as a motto by a number of different groups."
So if you are in the mood for some delicious chocolate head on over to Videri Chocolate.  Lovely place and very nice people 

Happy Travels and Food Adventures!

Interesting NC Tidbits...The Town of Buffalo NC is at the Bottom of Lake Lure.

A few weeks ago I took a trip to beautiful Lake Lure located in my state of NC.  Little did I know that there was a town called Buffalo under the Lake Lure waters.   I met a lady at a local restaurant that told me the town remains as it was, completely preserved under the water, an underwater ghost town.  On the Lake Lure pontoon boat adventure I took, I was told that Buffalo was burned to the ground just prior to the flooding. I went online to see what facts I could find about the town of Buffalo. Buffalo was a farming and mining community.  The population was approximately 150 people.  There was a church called Whiteside Valley Church of 1918 that had about 98 members.   The dam was built to generate electricity in the early 1900's, and just after the completion of the dam the town was flooded.    From what I could find online much of the town was torn down and relocated as were parts of the church.  The graves in the small grav...

One thing I love about travel is trying new restaurants.  Cindy and I found ourselves on an adventure in the Mooresville NC area near Lake Norman.  There is nothing like enjoying a meal by the water and when we read that Eddie's was on the water we decided to give it a try.  Off we went... Eddie's on Lake Norman Here is a quote from their website. "Eddie Lubic and Ann-Margaret Wagner bring their hospitality and restaurant expertise  from New York to the shores of Lake Norman."  View from our outdoor seating... Sadly it did not get the best reviews on Z omato , but for the view and casual dinning I would go back. The staff was friendly and service was good. Plenty of room outdoors and in.  Indoor seating  A bit of wine:-)   "Eddie and Ann-Margaret's mission is always to provide the freshest seafood, prime meats, produce, pasta, and bread every meal."  Eddie's We enjoyed our veggie and cheese platt...
