I find many times people from NYC think there is no good food elsewhere.  Many years ago I went to a friends wedding in Costa Rica and some of his friends were talking about this new restaurant that w

To be fair, the owners are immigrants from Eurasia and English is not their first language.  They've tried to create a small business and get their piece of the American dream. Most of us have probabl

I'm surprised at the "hating" of Cheesecake Factory.  Isn't this the same thread in which "OHHHS" and "AHHHHS" were in the works due to the first Charlotte opening of a New York hamburger and shake jo

I have been to all the big steakhouses in Charlotte except for Steak 48 and I do like the Capital Grille and Ruth's and I do like Sullivans too.  However this is 73 and Main is chef driven locally owned and sourced and you can taste the difference.   Do head out there but make reservations it was basically packed tonight a Sunday night.

Aw, its a goofy fun novelty dessert concept. And its a unique little draw for Uptown, which needs all the draws it can get right now. 

It still looks terrible. ;-) 

What's the over under on it lasting 6 months?

I mean, Ink 'n Ivy is and looks terrible and it's still there. Jenni's is outrageously expensive and it's still there. The instagram crowd will keep them open for a decent while, but if they can hit the right price point and are open late, I could see it lasting a good while.

I ate a cereal bar inside the Mall of America many years ago it was owned by General Mills which is based there.  Ate a bowl of cereal in the afternoon with my choice of milk and left and walked the huge mall.  

and I do believe there is a small market for this and my nieces and nephew will love it especially the Beehive bowl.  This according to the Biz Journal is from LA!

Ugh, I just pictured lucky charm vomit!

I wouldn't be caught dead in ink and ivy so you're right..

In Mr. Johnson’s 2nd grade class in 1979, Chad Hutchins barfed Lucky Charms all over his desk top and started a chain reaction. #neverforget

I talked with a manager friend of mine at major Tex Mex restaurant in Strawberry Hill shopping center today and he said they and most restaurants are having lots of problems finding people to work. Many left the industry altogether when the restaurants were forced shut and now that the bars have reopening many people are leaving to go back to work in the bars.

On a happier note he reports hearing many people saying this was their first meal out in a year and things like that.  So pack some patience if you are dining out there is a severe labor shortage going on right now.

Just had a piece of the best key lime pie I have had in Charlotte and guess what it is up in Mooresville.  Get out your NC Quick Pass and head to Epic Chophouse for their epic made in house key lime pie.  sorry no photo as I dug into so quick LOL. 

Continuing my dining in the Ring counties of Charlotte  Been to 73 and Main in Mt Pleasant,  Chophouse 101 in downtown Kannapolis, today Epic Chophouse in Mooresville  next up  Old Stone Steakhouse in downtown Belmont, then over the river and state line to the Pump House in Rock Hill back to Union County probably in downtown Waxhaw somewhere then back over to Cabarrus.    If you have any suggestions  let me know and lets all support local restaurants like this and most of these are in small downtowns.

Have you been to the string bean? I've only been once but really liked it. Appeals to my hippie tastes!

The former Duckworth's on Montford is being filled by YaMe Asian Noodles, opening May 1. It will be family owned . Most entrees are $10 - $11 so a reasonable meal wallet wise.

Looks pretty decent too, I love a good cheap fast noodle place.
