New steakhouse opens and where to find holiday help in Wilmington

This week’s best bite was probably one of the signature pies from a popular Carolina Beach spot. With a fresh, mini-size Crack Pie in hand, I finally got a chance to see why it is so addictive. It’s sugary and buttery and eats a bit like a cookie. It’s one of the area’s most popular desserts from local bakeries for the Thanksgiving holiday. What are some of the others? You can check it out, along with more of this week’s food news, below. 

What’s open? 

New steaks: After a quick turnaround, the newest restaurant in the Monkey Junction area officially opened this week. In addition to a full menu of steaks, appetizers, brunch and more, there are also some notable specials. Appetizers are half-priced 3-5 p.m. and there are more mid-day options like mini meatloaf and garlic parm mac. Plus, the weekday specials, like Tuesday’s Burger Night with $5.95 burgers, are sure to be a hit.
