One of my faaaavorite restaurants since day one in Charlotte is Paco’s Tacos & Tequila. The chips. The salsa (green and red.) The guac. The tacos. And… the margs. While I typically can only handle one margarita (sugar overload), it’s hard to resist just the one at Paco’s. They’re refreshing, easy to drink, and full… Continue reading Margarita 101 at Paco’s Tacos

I can’t really call myself a coffee drinker. I don’t like the taste of it black, and the caffeine doesn’t fully affect me (except cold brew…watch out). But I definitely enjoy (and often crave) a sweet coffee drink, whether it’s a hot mocha or an iced flavored latte. Last week, I tasted the most amazing… Continue reading Trade your Starbucks for Cuplux
Update [7/10/18]: I’m extremely sad to say that iPho closed its doors at the end of May 2018. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they’ll re-open somewhere else in Charlotte! If you follow me on Instagram, you know I’m in LOVE with iPho. This Vietnamese restaurant has been open on Park Road for a little… Continue reading More Than Just Pho at iPho
Update [7/10/18]: Rooney’s Market is now closed. 😦 If you haven’t ventured over to Ayrsley, you’re missing out. This little community has blown up in the past year with the addition of places like Clean Eatz, Pho Ngon, Carolina Beer Temple, Piedmont Social House, and, of course, Rooney’s Market and Deli. The folks who brought… Continue reading Relax at Rooney’s Market in Ayrsley
Update [7/10/18]: Babushka’s Pierogi is now closed. 😦 I know absolutely nothing about Polish or Russian food. I’ve had plenty of kielbasa in my days and a few run-ins with sauerkraut, but other than that, nada. I now know that it’s delicious, and I’ll happily get my fix at Babushka’s Pierogi from now on. This… Continue reading Get Your Pierogi Fix at Babushka’s Pierogi
Y’all know I love my local restaurants. But today I’m writing about a franchise that just opened in Charlotte: Ted’s Montana Grill. These kind folks invited me in to eat, and I had to say yes to BISON. Founders Ted Turner and George McKerrow, Jr. opened the first Ted’s in Columbus, Ohio in 2002 to… Continue reading Ted’s Montana Grill Hits Charlotte
If you’ve been following along, you know I love a good Greek find. And Greco Fresh Grille is all that and more. The first Greco Fresh Grille opened almost six years ago and has since expanded to three Charlotte-area locations and one in Fort Mill. I met with owner Vasili (Bill) Pahountis at the Blakeney… Continue reading Fast, Fresh, Delicious Greek food at Greco Fresh Grille
