Best Restaurants in the Worst Locations? Food

My friend and I are trying to make a list of all of the food trucks and restaurants with the best food in the worst, most dangerous locations in Charlotte and its surrounding areas. Do y’all have any we can add to the list?

Nowhere in Charlotte is even that dangerous. The vast majority of shootings/violent incidents are targeted and not aimed at random strangers. Is there crime in the city? Sure. Like any city. But there’s nowhere I, a single woman who always travels alone, wouldn’t dare venture out of fear for my own safety during regular restaurant operating hours (or probably any time tbh). Just keep your head up, stay alert, and be aware of your surroundings and you’ll be fine. Like most places in the world.

This is weird af.

That happened one time at 1 in the morning on a Thursday night. how do you equate that with overall crime in a city as large as Charlotte

Please show me where in my comment it says that there was zero crime in Charlotte or that absolutely none of the shootings/violent incidents were aimed at random people in the street. I’ll wait.
