A Charlotte soul food spot has earned statewide bragging rights. Mr. Charles Chicken & Fish now ranks as the No. 1 fried chicken restaurant in North Carolina, according to Tasting Table. FULL STORY: Best fried chicken joint? This Charlotte restaurant ranks No. 1 in NC Here are key takeaways: Tasting Table published the rankings Oct. 30. The food and drink website drew on Reddit posts, online reviews, awards and press coverage to pick the top fried chicken joint in each state. Mr. Charles Chicken & Fish started two decades ago on Statesville Avenue. It operates multiple restaurants in Charlotte, and the uptown location on Dalton Avenue got the nod. Michael Rhynes Sr., who helped open the restaurant, told CharlotteFive in 2024 that the business builds relationships with customers. “We try to get to know everybody.

No. 1 Gamecocks thump No. 12 UNC in WBB border battle. What we learned

South Carolina has secured the bragging rights to be called “Carolina” — in women’s basketball, at least. Dawn Staley and the No. 1 Gamecocks beat No. 12 North Carolina 84-39 at the Ally Tipoff in Charlotte on Sunday. It’s the first win on this side of the Atlantic Ocean after USC started the season with a close win over Maryland in Paris, France. South Carolina is now 2-0 to start the season, with both wins coming over Top 25 opponents. While it wasn’t perfect Sunday, the Gamecocks put together a strong showing on both sides of the ball to secure the win. South Carolina had four players finish in double-figures and forced a high-powered UNC offense to struggle all night. Here are a few takeaways from South Carolina’s win: Third-quarter run makes the difference South Carolina all but iced the game with a dominant third-quarter performance. The Gamecocks outscored the Tar Heels 32-9 in the third period to take a 66-26 lead into the fourth quarter. South Carolina shot 36.4% in the first half but improved that mark to a 70.6% clip in the third period. North Carolina struggled to find momentum on offense and only made three field goals

“We’re a Work In Progress”: Dawn Staley Delivers Her Verdict After South Carolina Defeats UNC By 45 Points

The No. 1 Gamecocks won 84-39 on Sunday at the 2026 Ally Tip-Off at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte. They pulled away early, never let up, and made a very good team look ordinary. Staley, though, had her own take on what she had just seen. “I think we’re a work in progress,” Staley said. “You know you’ll see us make jumps from, from game to game. And I thought we did.
