We enjoyed one of our favorite restaurants last night. As the name implies they do chicken really well. We especially enjoy eating at the chefs bar where we see food preparation up close.
Following is a link to the Roosters Wood Fire Kitchen website. The address is 150 North College street.
This photo shows the outdoor seating at the Asbury restaurant. On Sunday we enjoyed brunch at the Asbury and the meal was great as always. In my opinion the Asbury is the best restaurant in Charlotte. And based on their awards others agree as well.
Personally, I think you can identify great restaurants when they share the chefs name. At the Asbury, Mike Long is the executive chef and Miranda Brown is the pastry chef.
Following is a link to The Asbury website. They are located at 235 N. Tryon.
This last weekend we enjoyed breakfast at the Sunflour Baking Company. I enjoyed an egg, bacon, and tomato sandwich on whole wheat. Connie enjoyed an egg, ham, and avocado sandwich on a croissant.
Following is a link to the Sunflour Baking Company website. Their address is 220 East Blvd.
We recently found a restaurant called Flower Child. As the art work suggest its a hip place. Just a short walk from Uptown we were greeted by this blast from the past.
Following is a link to the Flower Child restaurant which is located at 1537 Camden Road.
We took a last minute decision to eat Sunday brunch at 300 East which is a very popular restaurant. So popular that reservation are needed. Fortunately, eating at the bar is first come first serve.
My breakfast was a northern Italian dish; with sausage, crispy kale, and an egg fried in olive oil.
Following is a link to 300 East Restaurant which is as the name implies, at 300 East Boulevard.
We are sharing another photo from Amelies, one of our favorite restaurants. Notice the tree hanging from the ceiling.
Following is a link to the Amelies French Bakery and Cafe website. The address is 380 South College street.
This photo was at taken in the parking lot of a restaurant we frequent. We enjoyed our meal knowing we were dinning with a peace loving soul that camps, cares for animals, and loves his/her mother.
This photo was taken in the parking lot of Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, at 1626 East Boulevard in Dilworth which is near Uptown Charlotte.
Today’s photo shows one of my favorite breakfast restaurants. Halfpenny’s which is located in Two Wells Fargo Center. I recommend egg whites with turkey bacon on a whole wheat English muffin.
Following is a link to Yelp reviews for Halfpennys which is located at 301 S. Tryon.
We eat at the Ashbury because they have great food. That and we like their bar.
But today there was an extra treat of art by Fonda Doerre. Personally I was very impress with her paintings of barns.
This photo was taken at 235 North Tryon. Following is a link to the Ashbury Restaurant website. Following is a link to an article about Chef Matthew Krenz winning Chef of the Year award. The best in the state.
Also, following is a link to Fonda Doerre’s website.
We went out on Cinco De Mayo and quickly realized the crowds were too thick. So we came back today for brunch and we the only patrons ;)
Actually, although they serve brunch, the Hot Taco is more of a bar scene for those that enjoy a crowd.
This photo was taken at 200 East Bland in the South End. Following is a link to the Hot Taco website.
Our preference is to enjoy the Dandelion Market on Sunday afternoons when the bar is quite. However for those in search of a crowd the time to go is Friday or Saturday night. They also have a big crowd at brunch. Maybe because if the Bloody Mary bar ;)
This photo was taken at 118 West 5th Street in Uptown Charlotte. Following is a link to the Dandelion Market website. Be sure and check out the menu. They offer “everything at the Market” for $295
On Saint Patrick’s day there were lines of people in green. This photo shows a line of hungry people at the Halal Food Cart.
There were also lines, at the entrance of every bar. Thirsty people in green ;)
This photo was taken at the intersection of Trade and Tryon.
This was a quick snap in the Latta Arcade. It is a good place to grab lunch. Also, the old photos on the wall are enjoyable. However, the most enjoyable aspect is found at the end the arcade … it opens on to an open air pavilion which is lined with bars.
This photo was taken at 320 South Tryon.
Today was overcast and rainy. A stay inside sort of day. So for our outing we strolled through the Overstreet Mall to Amalie’s.
From the photo, you can see that Amalie’s is fun and eclectic.
As regulars we recommend Amalie’s for the atmosphere, wine, food, and for their baguettes. Oh, and their pastries a very good too.
Seriously, this is the line to order at Johnny Burrito in Uptown Charlotte. And the line is just as long every day of the week.
Their tag line is Putting the Heat on the Street. And they have been named Charlotte’s BEST Burrito by everyone!
We highly recommend beignets at the Fig Tree Restaurant near Uptown Charlotte.
They have great food but our preference is to sit at the bar, enjoy appetizers with a bottle of wine, and top it off with a beignet.
The Fig Tree is at 1601 E. 7th.
PS: Mark is the bartender.
