First off what is a poke bowl?  It would be a good thing to get the pronunciation right.  It looked like poke, so that is what I said: "Poke."  The correct way to say the word is "POH-keh."
I looked up the definition and here is what Wikipedia had to say...
Poke (Hawaiian for "to section" or "to slice or cut") is a raw fish salad served as an appetizer in Hawaiian cuisine, and sometimes as a main course. ... Increasingly popular ahi poke is generally made with yellowfin tuna."
At ZenFish they do have raw protein options and they have many cooked options as well.  
​Here is the poke bar area where they build your desired bowl.

A very clean and busy kitchen:-)
Giant rice cookers...
I chose for my base the white rice.
My protein was cooked shrimp and as you can see I added many "mix-ins" and "toppings".
 Erica went with the raw protein option.  She chose the salmon.  
Both bowls were delicious.
If you look at the photo above in the left corner, you will see a wall.  On that wall, it says "I Am Grateful For."  Colorful chalk is provided for you to write in your thankful thoughts.  Nice touch!
If you find yourself in Morrisville NC and you want a healthy and yummy meal, I suggest you give ZenFish a try.  I hope to revisit them soon.
Happy Eating!

I never let that sway from an honest review.)

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...
