Due South

Giorgios Bakatsias still opening new restaurants after more than 40 years in business; 'Golden Years: How Americans Invented and Reinvented Old Age'

If you live in the Triangle and eat at local restaurants, you’ve likely indulged your palate at one of Giorgios Bakatsias’ cafes, bistros, or tavernas. Giorgios’ restaurant empire dots the region’s culinary landscape, from Chapel Hill to Durham to Raleigh to Wake Forest, and in recent years even expanding out to Wilmington. And after more than four decades in the business, the eatery entrepreneur does not seem inclined to slow his pace anytime soon.
