 Rhino Market & Deli is coming to SouthPark in 2023. The 5,877-square-foot space at Capitol Towers, previously home to SouthPark Grill, will be Rhino’s fifth and largest location. “I think SouthPark is underserved in the neighborhood market category,” owner Rob Rondelez said in a press release. “Rhino Market & Deli will be another casual meetup space for neighborhoods like Beverly Woods, Foxcroft and Cotswold.” The new market will have patio seating, and parking will be available in the adjacent covered deck. Rhino serves sandwiches and salads in a counter-service format and also sells beer, wine, snacks and grab-and-go items from local food artisans. The first Rhino Market opened in Wesley Heights in 2014.

Leave it to a national media outlet to confirm what Charlotte already knew: In September, Bon Appetit named Supperland among its 10 Best New Restaurants in the U.S. for 2022. The food and entertaining publication writes: “In a rebuttal to the trend of ‘small plates, meant for sharing,’ Supperland is a grand, big-spirited restaurant where you’ll need the assistance of your entire friend group just to clear the table. They’ll be more than happy to help.” Supperland is the only Carolinas restaurant on the list.
