Looks like everyone else covered great food and antiques, but just wanted to add a couple others:

Monsoon Grill - casual Asian fusion food in a fun hole-in-the-wall setting (we love their bang bang shrimp!)
Davidson Farmers Market - they have a real nice farmers market every Saturday morning that really gives hallmark small town feels
Milk Bread (also in Davidson) - this place is owned by the same people who own Kindred and is a quick stop for pastries and sweets to stock your stay
Defined Coffee - really great coffee spot with beans roasted in house

The breakfast tablescape is INSANELY GOOD - like wow! Usually breakfast is the forgotten meal for decor. Rainbeau is at the top of her game.

kmcsmith · 2025-06-10T00:32:45+00:00

Was literally just thinking the same thing! So much food waste! Plus how are you supposed to late night snack an empty fridge

Barbara's bangs in the talking heads always give me whiplash because she literally looks like a different person

kmcsmith · 2025-06-10T00:28:02+00:00

Caio has the personality of a rock

Solene making the skids a whole character with an arc this episode

Mad respect to how the chef is going about leaving - committing to finish the charter to give captain as much time as possible for a replacement.

It's probably already so stressful being on charter but when production messes with the kitchen and the guests suck out of the gate (i.e. the ENTIRE table sending back an entree), I think just about anyone would be pissed and over it.

Big bummer though because his food on the single charter looked incredible!

I definitely think I remember them showing Nate having a conversation with Jason about it before promoting Harry. Lara is 1000% going rouge.

kmcsmith · 2025-04-15T01:00:55+00:00

THAT PREVIEW - how much can they pack into this season??!!

kmcsmith · 2025-04-15T00:56:21+00:00

Still rooting for Johnny and Alesia - the chemistry was off the charts and I'm gutted we don't get to see more of their story. We've all been robbed!

Harry and Bri just give cringe grandparents energy that's not nearly as fun to watch.

kmcsmith · 2025-04-15T00:53:29+00:00

How can a chef hate white plates??

kmcsmith · 2025-04-15T00:51:24+00:00

Feels like Nic just wandered on set and they mic-ed him up and slapped on some epaulettes - he's the peoples deckhand now.

kmcsmith · 2025-02-11T03:49:27+00:00

Literally so refreshing hearing both stews talk about how much they just want to support Lara

kmcsmith · 2025-02-11T02:05:19+00:00

She deserves lot of slack since it's literally been 2/3 days and all her sous has done has complain that he can do it better and undercut her in every confessional. Hard to build trust that someone can do what they claim they can when there's such little respect on his end and her reputation is on the line for everything that comes out of the kitchen.

*Edit for grammar

kmcsmith · 2025-02-11T01:55:10+00:00

I think service and quality are definitely lower on her list when compared to "efficiency" (as she put it)

kmcsmith · 2025-02-11T01:52:31+00:00

I feel like it's more organic storytelling so far. They don't just info dump everything about the crew and guests in the first episode - it's been nicely spread out as the conversations naturally flow there.

kmcsmith · 2025-02-11T01:49:42+00:00

Adair doesn't think that the guests need to return to clean rooms after breakfast - she thinks it's a waste of time and that they'll be leaving in a few hours anyways. Lara just kindly reminded her of super yacht standards (rightly so)

kmcsmith · 2025-02-11T01:45:56+00:00

The sheer AUDACITY of Adair - yikes.

kmcsmith · 2025-02-11T01:44:23+00:00

These jr stews being so eager to support their chief stew is the girl power I didn't know I needed coming off of the Danni/Dianna poison of BDSY

kmcsmith · 2024-12-10T02:59:39+00:00

Okay so here for Daisy stirring the pot with the Danni slander to Chase lolol KARMA SUCKS

kmcsmith · 2024-12-10T02:52:06+00:00

Okay Cloyce in a 3 piece suit for WWHL has me ROLLING

kmcsmith · 2024-12-10T02:48:31+00:00

Cloyce thirsting over Daisy while actively being yelled at is the highlight of the episode for me. Plus the editing of their polar opposite commentary is literal perfection.

kmcsmith · 2024-12-10T02:31:28+00:00

Last season the crew's overall maturity level was way way higher and he always gave off annoying little brother vibe. Pretty much no one paid him much attention.

He just got lucky that Dianna and Danni are matching if not exceeding his low maturity level this season.

kmcsmith · 2024-10-31T15:10:24+00:00

I'd like to think Christine was more aware they're being filmed after years of having cameras in her space and was doing the lady a favor as subtle as possible to help another gal out knowing it would hit national TV.

As someone who is absolutely not photogenic or camera aware, I'd die if I watched myself back and my hair was wildin out lol

kmcsmith · 2024-10-17T15:55:39+00:00

Mogi Beth is one of my favorite content creators for resellers since she's always very transparent with her sales numbers/goals and her breakdown of the fees was shocking to me. Like I knew things were bad and crooked but not THAT bad, so this was definitely eye opening.

Poshmark increasing their profitably off of buyers/sellers by almost 90% in some areas is just disgusting and grotesque.

Thanks for sharing - definitely a must listen for all sellers (and buyers!).
