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.
