I-40 Exit Strategy
A guide to independent eating along North Carolina's main highway
Thank you for purchasing a copy of our eating guide to I-40 exits in North Carolina! Here at The Food Section, our mission is to make readers' meals more meaningful. Pointing them past drive-thrus to independent restaurants reflective of regional food culture is one component of that journalism. But we also publish a weekday newsletter chockful of reporting on the people and places which contribute to the dynamic culinary scene we share.
Below, you'll find a sampling of TFS stories about the territory you'll cover as you drive Interstate 40, ranging from a feature on a Days Inn in Candler, where the price of a room includes chicken stew, to an investigation of shrimp sourcing practices in Wilmington's most celebrated restaurants.
Plus, if you keep scrolling, you'll find a digital version of the I-40 map with photographs of the listed venues and the food they serve. Happy travels!
To thank you for purchasing a printed map, we're offering an annual subscription to The Food Section for just $40. (Get it?)
