A Seat At The Table Long-table dinner series Relish Carolina makes its return; boards, breads, and punches are all the rage; and new restaurants like The Stanley, Haymaker, and Hello, Sailor are making a statement:

Charlotte is a food city.

Durham's food is good. Raleigh's is delicious. Asheville's food scene is amazing. Charleston's is world-class. When people talk about Carolina cuisine, these are the cities they mention over and over again. And I've eaten in all of these towns at their best restaurants, and the food is so good... don't get me wrong. What aggravates me is not that people are praising them—they are great food towns. I'm bothered by the fact that Charlotte always seems to be the forgotten city—a place not even worth mentioning in the same breath. Well, the openings of 2018 should finally put an end to this nonsense. Chef-driven concepts like Haymaker, The Stanley, Hello, Sailor, Le Cochon d'Or, Flour Shop, and Bardo—along with openings from restaurateurs like Ford Fry and Danny Meyer—have changed the landscape.
