		<description><![CDATA[Ed Mitchell and Greg Hatem&#8217;s new venture, The Pit, opens for dinner today at 5:00. I just received a copy of the menu, and it&#8217;s an interesting selection. This most definitely is high end barbecue, at $12 a plate (including 2 sides). I don&#8217;t mind paying 50% more than other places if the quality is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=varmintbites.com&amp;blog=1707199&amp;post=222&amp;subd=varmintbites&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I confirmed with Ed Mitchell and Greg Hatem that their new barbecue restaurant, The Pit, will open in Raleigh on November 26, the Monday after Thanksgiving. The new joint will be a high-end place in the old Nana&#8217;s Chophouse space and will initially serve only dinner, with lunch available in January. I had a plate [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=varmintbites.com&amp;blog=1707199&amp;post=157&amp;subd=varmintbites&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
