In Minutes, Two Don Alberto-Breds Bring Seven Figures

Within the span of 12 horses, Don Alberto sold a $1.9 million filly (Hip 85) through Gainesway to West Bloodstock, agent for Robert and Lawana Low; and a colt (Hip 97) through Lane's End to Flying Dutchmen. Don Alberto bred the Curlin filly out of graded-placed stakes winner Matera (by Tapit), who is a half sister to grade 1-placed, grade 3 winner and multiple grade 1 winner , who are both prominent stallions.

It's been close to 30 years since I first dined at The Pilot House, but the best things about the place are still there. Editor's note: In 2015, StarNews dining critics will revisit several longtime Southeastern North Carolina restaurants, many of which haven't been reviewed in years. Got an old favorite you'd like to see reviewed? Call features editor John Staton at 910-343-2343 or email John.Staton@StarNewsOnline.com.

Review - Port City Craft House serves up burgers, beer

|
By Tom Park Verified
| StarNews Verified
The Port City Craft House is meant to be a destination for burger and beer purists. The owners have focused on delivering a unique, fresh-made burger experience with plenty of craft brews (20 on tap, plus bottles) to complement the fare. The burgers are lean, sizable patties (I'd say a half pound, but the menu doesn't specify), ground and cooked-to-order Angus beef. The menu includes an option to upgrade to an American-style Kobe beef burger for an additional $5, but I focused on the standard fare.
