I obviously love to eat but throughout my dining adventures, I’ve become enthralled by the most important aspect of food: the people behind it. That’s why I love the Piedmont Culinary Guild. PCG is a nonprofit that connects chefs, farmers, and all types of purveyors through education, recognition, and the sharing of resources. The link… Continue reading Get Involved with the Piedmont Culinary Guild
Here’s a new one for ya! A RECIPE. And I’m so pleased that my first recipe post on EatDrinkCLT is in support of an awesome event. On Tuesday, June 19, the first of several Soul Food Sessions dinners will occur right here in Charlotte at Free Range Brewing. Soul Food Sessions was founded in 2017… Continue reading The Table Is Set: Seared Scallops Recipe
If I’ve talked about my love for Mediterranean food one too many times, I’m sorry. But not sorry enough to not do it again. Enter Kid Cashew, the Mediterranean restaurant I mentioned a few posts back. Time and time again, I’ve had GREAT meals at this Dilworth spot. Earlier this month, I was given the chance… Continue reading Let’s Eat with Kid Cashew
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
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
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not much of a cook. But when Santhoshi contacted me about her homemade tomato chutney, I knew I had to give it a shot. After we met, I knew I was holding on to a jar of the real deal. What could go wrong? Nothing could. Because this stuff is delicious,… Continue reading Local Product: Savory Tomato Chutney
It’s time again for another look at Evoke’s menu! I love that they change each spring and fall (and really love sampling the new items.) At this spring’s tasting, we were introduced to the new chef de cuisine, Rodrigo Velazco. Chef previously worked at Vivace and is now bringing an “old school meets new school” menu… Continue reading #ExperienceEvoke Spring Menu
Update [7/10/18]: Tavolo is now closed. 😦 Last week, I joined the Charlotte Food Bloggers at Tavolo for a little pizza-making action. This was my first visit to this uptown Italian kitchen, and I quickly learned that I’d been saying the name all wrong. Tavolo is pronounced “Tah-vah-lo” which means “table” in Italian. Definitely didn’t… Continue reading Pizza-Making at Tavolo
Update [7/10/18]: YUME in Matthews is closed and has moved to Charlotte at 1508 S. Mint Street! Tucked in a strip mall in Matthews, there’s a white neon sign that says “YUME.” That’s it. If you aren’t paying attention, you might miss it. But now that you know about it (or if you’ve driven by… Continue reading YUME Bistro Brings Authentic Japanese Cuisine to Matthews
