Here to sprout an obsession, Raleigh restaurants’ spins on Brussels
I’m not gonna lie—I hated Brussels sprouts until my sophomore year of college. Like most of my peers, my childhood experiences with the cruciferous veg were not the best (think soft, overcooked and ~moist~). … Fast-forward to today, and I’m a sprouts superfan. Though I hate cooking them at home because I can never get the texture right, I will always order Brussels if I spot them on a local menu. Here, some standouts around town.
