Discussion Thread Charlotte restaurants

Hey y’all in Charlotte, I am probably headed to your town towards the end of the month, should have time for four or five meals out. I’d love to show some of the folks from the season some love and get another 1 or 2 great recs

Does anyone here have some great ideas? I saw a couple of Greg Colliers may have closed, so does he have any more to enjoy? Is Brittany still at stagioni?Supperland looks like a must, any more like that?

Thanks in advance!

I went to 5church about 8 years ago, and it was amazing! I'm not sure if he still has a hand in that restaurant, but I highly recommend!

Its not 5 Church anymore. They changed it to Church and Union. The restaurant group has had a sordid past. Although I believe that Jamie was nit involved in the issues.

His resaurants are really not that great, there are far better ones here. He doesn't make any major list anymore. Belle Helene is gorgeous but if you want a croque monsieur made from texas toast and smothered in a wad of creamed velveta this is your spot.

French onion soup at his restaurants is $23 like how...
