Research Triangle Park: Any good lists?

Does anyone know of a list of RTP-area restaurants (around 54/55)? There are various "lists" on restaurants for Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Cary, etc. but I've yet to see a good one for the RTP area (esp. since some consider RTP to be part of Durham...). I recall hearing about several restaurants in the 54/55 area that sounded intriguing, but for the life of me, can't remember names! And, that area's so wacky-crowded, it'd be a chore/pain/possibly life-threatening to dip in and out of the numerous shopping centers to scan for names....Any help will be appreciated (as well as particular names of restaurants!)

Thanks.

    There's a website: http://www.rtplunch.com/ that has reviews and maps of RTP area restaurants.

        Is that Ross Grady's project too? Wow, between that and trianglerock.com, he's one useful dude. ;)

            54/55 is a hotbed of tasty chow. There's so much there it's astounding.

          I *think* Ross Grady has/had a list. Maybe if you search this board for his name you can get a link.

            I'm thinking one mile radius around intersection of Hwy. 54 and Hwy. 55 -- there are a lot of shopping centers with ethnic cuisine.....pretty much any restaurant.

            Will check Ross Grady -- thanks, LulusMom, for tip....

            Are you looking for any particular cuisine? Also, "54/55" is a pretty big area...are you looking near a particular facility in RTP?
