Mami Nora's

During a discussion about my semi-recent infatuation with plantains, a friend of mine suggested I go to Mami Nora's Peruvian Rotisserie in North Durham. The restaurant is almost 2 years old and is literally a whole in the wall. These "best kept secret" kinds of places are often the finest around. Mami Nora's is no different.

They serve whole chicken, 1/2 chicken, and 1/4 chicken portions served with two sides. I ordered black beans and tostones (savory fried plantains). Hubby and I ordered yucca fries for Caleb, though he much preferred my juicy chicken.

Mami Nora's chicken is cooked over all-wood charcoal and marinated with special herbs and spices. It is beyond delicious, and such a good value.

Caleb couldn't get enough chicken, and neither could we. We'll be back to Mami Nora's soon.

The spiky hair is a result of a big haircut and the scalp lotion we have to apply to his head every day to cure his never-ending cradle cap. It works just like hair gel.

We miss you too Grammie. And can't wait to see you for Thanksgiving.
