firebirds durham nc. used to be my fav spot since i moved to nc. last fall they changed their caesar recipe and took what was outstanding down to mediocre, and the filet mignon seems to have lost it's zing as well. went back a few times but it was the same, but tonight was the last straw. my partner and i went for supper, thought we'd give it a try one more time. we and ordered the same meal, and at one point chatted with one of our former regular waiters, great guy btw as most servers there are, and we talked about the changes over the salad. had our entree and wine, and went out for a short walk on the promenade there right after. right away i could feel something wasn't right... i've this happen before, albeit once in a blue moon... something in the food had been tainted. we live 5 minutes away, and i made it home in time for a violent reaction. maybe it was something unclean, maybe it was the comment about the changes... and thank god my partner was ok, but a brutal reaction to the food is what i had, and i'll not go back again. too bad... used to be amazing.
