The experience at Rye Bar & Southern Kitchen in the heart of Raleigh's vibrant downtown is a very thoughtful one. Executive Chef Michael Rigot overflows with love for the food he prepares. He's taking traditional Southern staples and adding a modern twist. You'll see it in his favorite dish, the Cheerwine Spareribs, which blend sweet heat and smoke to create a flavor that explodes on contact with your taste buds. And when it comes to the service, you can count on a heaping helping of TLC.
