Hope Springs Edible

For those of us Durhamites who live downtown, who sometimes consider anything south of, oh, say, the Q Shack to be foodie limbo, an oasis of eateries has opened in what used to be the least fortunate plaza I had ever seen.

In what many still consider the Shannon Road shopping center, now renamed Hope Valley Square Shopping Center, a number of locally owned, niche restaurants have moved in to what may now be the most aesthetically pleasing strip mall on the East Coast.

The post office that anchors the plaza makes we want an excuse to mail something so I can try out one of the dining establishments, which range from burgers and pizza to a gourmet market and yogurt joint.

This stretch of businesses is constructed from a brilliant, light brick and stone façade, with wooden pergolas, arched alcoves under which bistro tables abound, and trellises with ornate greenery coiling up the walls from patches of garden filled with rose bushes.

I believe you eat with your eyes first. At Hope Valley Square, the feasting begins when you pull into the parking lot.

Here's a look at what's already open, and what we can look forward to in 2011:

Bull Street Gourmet & Market: With this name, you'd think this was a Durham original, but it is in fact a collaboration between Justin Croxall, owner/chef of the original found at 60 Bull St. in Charleston, S.C., and local resident Anne Neimann, whose husband, Tom Neimann, co- owns West Village. She hopes this restaurant/grocery store will open in April, with soups, salads, unique wines, fresh breads, and other market items available to dine-in or "good to go."

Neimann has lived in Hope Valley for over 10 years and longed for a local market like the one she adored in Charleston while visiting her daughters in college. Since her background is in the food and beverage side of hotel management, she decided to do it herself when the shopping center was renovated. Visit www.bullstreetdurham.com for details.

Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt: Also coming later this year, this is slotted to be the first North Carolina location of five set to open sometime this year throughout the state. Based out of California, customers create their yogurt by mixing flavors and toppings themselves. www.TFYogurt.net

Only Burger: Yes - there is a non-moving location for Durham's beloved burger truck. Open since the fall, the menu is a bit more expansive thanks to, well, more space and fewer speed bumps. Onion rings, beer and daily specials join the menu, said Brian Bottger, who co-owns Only Burger with Tom Ferguson, who also uses part of the space for his personal catering business. Bottger said things are going well, so well that additional locations aren't out of the question.

Pop's Back Door South: First there was Pop's at Peabody Place, and when Pop's moved a few blocks away down Main Street, Pop's Back Door opened in the original location serving fresh calzones and pizzas made to order. That casual iteration of Pop's Restaurant has been duplicated south, and things are going well said Chris Stinnett, co-owner of the Pop's empire. He and his partner, John Vandergrift, hope for a northern location in the near future, so Pop's pizza can be delivered to Durham as a whole. Aren't we lucky? www.popsbackdoorsouth.com

Rick's Diner: Open in some form or another since 1998, Rick's Diner recently moved from University Drive to Shannon Road but has kept the same menu, complete with diner classics like breakfast all day and rotating lunch and dinner specials. www.ricksdiner.com
