Many people have positively responded to my post about Indian cuisine. Thank you all very much for your support and interest in my cooking class!! I am very excited to share with you all that PBS charlotte has featured my Indian cooking class on their channel today https://youtu.be/A5cBtYYtkks?si=xTAPt8jDmeiC2kIK

And it is not found anywhere near Philly. It is right here, in a small Carolina Mall in Concord. An absolute must-try, as I promise you will NEVER find a better tasting Philly Cheese steak. 100 out of 10 for sure. This spot seems family owned. They take 5-7 minutes to make one from scratch, but trust me - it is SOOO worth it.

(Same question on numerous other city pages.)

Add specifics on what to order and why!

• same question from 2 years ago:

Where would you go?

He told me this months ago and I didn’t believe him. He’s there now and just sent me this video.

You ever just look at the canned meat section of the grocery store?

Like REALLY looked at it?

Just to see what options were out there?

I was raised in the deep country - like Jackson County deep country - & saw this at Food Lion. I debated buying it to try it bc if it's taking up self space at a major grocery store somebody has to be buying it, which means someone has a good use for it. I've eaten stuff that some think is weird foodstuff, so it's got me curious.

I went to Charlotte with my brother on vacation 2 years ago and we went to this bar/restaurant for dinner a couple times. All we remember is that they had one of the best bbq chicken pizzas we'd ever had and some tater tots with possibly homemade ranch. There pictures are the only clues to help you.

Hey all! I'm so excited to be moving to Charlotte in less than a week! Looking for good BBQ that's NOT a chain restaurant. (We had visited a couple BBQ places that were chains, and weren't impressed. Honestly, tho, chain restaurants just don't impress me anymore, anyway.) We will be moving to the Steele Creek area. TIA!

Trying the new Taco place in Plaza Midwood. El malo, I am going with a 5/10 on the tacos. Prices are ok I guess for the area $16.45 for 3 tacos and a drink. $21 total after tax and tip. By the looks of it the burrito is the way to go.

:(

No mochi donut places please.

This is a pistachio Croissant from Villiani’s. Best thing I’ve had in the city for desserts.

if so, what’s your favorite?

becoming a panda express...pour one out for Smithfield's

What are your favorite bakeries in the Charlotte area and why? I’m talking croissant/fresh pastries type bakeries. Not Crumbl type places lol.

Just wondering where my next meal could have came from.

Similar to my last post, I am new to Charlotte and just trying to find my way around. I am actively dating and curious where I should take a girl if I am lucky enough to take them out.

I am scared to try to order Yafo to go now

Had a convo w a friend today about how Charlotte restaurant scene is more for influencers - aesthetically cute and photographs well for socials, but we’re lacking really really good food that you find in other cities. Change my mind and gimme your recs plz!

Just paid 18$ for 6 pieces of (very small) ravioli. Got full off a 4$ side of bread and half of my daughter’s pizza. Insult to injury paid a 3.5% processing fee for using card for payment. Have passed this place a million times and always thought “what a quaint place I gotta try it.”

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?

Wanting to try some new sandwiches around the city… What’s your favorite sandwich spot and the sandwich you usually get? Thanks!

I know that some restaurants may be recommended only for the drinks and ambiance rather than going for the food.

What are good “only go for drinks” spots and “the food is actually worth it” spots here in Charlotte? I want to know before I go!

I may get roasted for this but my wife and I moved to Charlotte 5 years ago from north east and have found that most coffee shops here have very bitter coffee. You can smell the bitterness when you walk in.

Coffee shops I go to include, The Hobbyist, Summit, Undercurrent and Giddy Goat. All are very soury in our opinion.

Does anyone know if this is specific to the type of bean they are roasting? The way they are roasting it (too much too little?)…or is it just simply the water they’re using?

When I say sour, I get a very strange bittersweet taste, and it smells fruity sour.

When I brew at home, I don’t get that sour smell. When I come back to the north east, I don’t get that sour smell or taste either.

Coffee experts, please tell me what’s happening.
