Wishbone
Our go-to place is the Wishbone on Lincoln and School near the studio. Whether it is the interns around one of their big round tables or a small group talking about a doc in progress, it is a great setting for serious or not-so-serious talk, with meatloaf, blackened catfish, North Carolina pulled pork, crawfish cakes, grits, collard greens or whatever Southern comfort strikes you. Jim Morrissette, our technical director, eats there almost every day.
