NEWS BITES ON ’CUE Mike D’s BBQ returned to the BBQ Festival on the Neuse in Kinston, N.C., placing first in the Professional Division with their BIG Sauce. This win marks at least one award for every product in the Durham-based company. COOL COMBO Durham-based Big Spoon Roasters and California-based Equator Coffees & Teas released a limited-batch handcrafted nut butter collaboration made with the coffee roaster’s signature Tigerwalk Espresso. It combines fresh-roasted heirloom California Mission almonds, Oregon Barcelona and Clark variety hazelnuts, coconut crystals, vanilla, cinnamon and sea salt with the coffee’s flavors of caramel and cherry-toned chocolate. The nut butter maker recommends trying it right out of the jar, as well as on toast, in a smoothie bowl and with a classic cappuccino.
