You can always count on The Carolina Theatre to host the coolest concerts, comedy shows and many other presentations, like Ghost Hunters Live! Senior Associate Editor Amanda MacLaren, who’s a fan of the SyFy program, kicked off the Halloween season with this fun and interactive talk featuring a couple of the show’s stars.
The Little Dipper

These simple chicken tacos at Mesa Latin Kitchen are made extraordinary with delicious homemade tortillas and a side of salty plantain chips.

Luna Rotisserie and Empanadas
… and not just for the warm atmosphere and friendly service. This patacon pisao (blackened, pulled Freebird chicken is covered in a citrus herb simmer sauce and sandwiched between two large, fried plantain discs) and pimento hominy “mac” and cheese were packed with flavor. Amanda’s planning a return trip for the chorizo empanadas and spicy bacon collards.
