great for everybody who plans on trips to europe next up let's tell you about some exciting food
halls and other delicacies that are happening or have happened in the recent past starting
with box yard rtp now box yard rtp is exactly what it sounds like it is a collection of restaurants
and shops in the research triangle park area made out of those giant shipping box cars 15 000 square
feet of them to be exact all kinds of restaurants and shops are already there more are coming
definitely a really cool opportunity especially if you work in the research triangle park area you
can jump over there grab something for lunch and get back to work quickly next up is craften food
hall in knightdale this is a very cool food hall concept where there's a variety of restaurants and
a bar inside this food hall but instead of you going and getting in a line at the individual
food hall booths let's call it you sit down at a table with your people in your party everyone
can order from different food booths and the food is delivered to you at the table so it's a great
opportunity to everybody get a variety of food and not have to wait in line and incidentally craften
is already open in knightdale so definitely worth your time it's in the old knightdale station prime
barbecue location for those of you who know the knightdale area next up is a really cool concept
called flavor district flavor district is in wake forest north carolina there are 14 ghost kitchens
inside this building and the building for those of you who know the where the old golden corral
restaurant was on the corner of main street wake forest and us-1 highway us-1
it's that is the location they're currently rehabbing the building now but and as i said
14 ghost kitchens which is basically a restaurant with no seating it's designed mostly for delivery
although they are allowing you to do pick up at the ghost kitchen setup it's a great opportunity
for restaurants to test out concepts and new restaurant entrepreneurs to test out concepts
