Many dedicated listeners to 97.9 The Hill know that morning show host Aaron Keck is a connoisseur of restaurants in the Triangle. Beyond trips to fine dining for fun, many of his culinary adventures are featured in the Date Night segment of “This Morning with Aaron Keck” recorded with his husband, Brad Bednar.
