I’ve always been a big fan of salads. I was that weird person in college who wanted a salad after a night of drinking instead of greasy food. Thankfully, eating salads carried over into my adult life whereas binge drinking did not. I work from home now and occasionally just want to get out for… Read More Salad Stories
Okay, I know pho is actually pronounced “fuh” but it’s fun to pretend it rhymes with the name of this new, delicious restaurant in Park Road shopping center. The first time I tried to go to CO was at 6 PM on a Friday night. The wait was an hour and ten minutes. The hangry… Read More CO Pho

If you’re headed North of Charlotte, or have a sugar craving, you should plan to visit Cornelius. I stopped in SweetCakes to get a cupcake for my niece’s first birthday and walked out with a whole box full, half large and half mini cupcakes. I felt I would have been doing myself a disservice to not try more than just… Read More SweetCakes Cupcakes
Bakersfield on East is one of Charlotte’s newest (and best) spots for delicious tacos. This industrial spot is surprisingly large inside, with a wrap around bar for all of your whiskey and tequila needs. Old garage doors open onto East Blvd. letting in air and light on warm summer days. It’s as amazing as it sounds. The… Read More Tacos and Tequila
There have been at least 10 occasions this summer where I’ve claimed I *need* a popsicle to get me through another day of this North Carolina heat… and King of Pops has saved me from the brink of dehydration every time… quite possibly saving my life. Okay, maybe that’s a tad extreme but this heat… Read More King of Pops
In my best Chris Traeger voice, I literally loved everything about The Summit Room. We arrived 45 minutes early for our reservations and decided to grab a drink at the bar. That quickly turned into two drinks because they were so smooth. The Summit Room’s Cucumber Collins is the ONLY gin drink that I have… Read More At the Summit
I had an impromptu dinner date with a friend at Viva Chicken, and it was so good, I went back the following week for lunch with another friend. Ordering at the counter isn’t my favorite type of restaurant, but for Peruvian roasted chicken and fried plantains, I’ll do it. From their website: “Our chicken is 100% natural,… Read More Viva Las Chicken
We all scream for Elizabeth Creamery. Seriously, I haven’t stopped thinking about going back since our post-dinner stop on Saturday evening. And since we’re already hitting 90 degrees here in Charlotte, it’s definitely the season for ice cream. There were several other couples and families visiting the homemade ice cream shop while we were there, enough… Read More I scream, you scream…
Krazy Fish is located in Plaza Midwood and offers just that, a crazy experience. The creativity doesn’t stop with the decor; the menu is an eclectic collection of dishes with everything from tacos to grits (a must-try!) to pad Thai. The description “soul seafood fusion” is spot on. With so many options to choose from, we… Read More A Krazy Dinner
