WALNUT COVE — Food Lion stores across the Triad have been through a transformation over the last months as associates worked to make improvements to the grocery shopping experience for customers. Walnut Cove was one of the stores to host a grand reopening Wednesday, Nov. 4, just before 8 a.m.. “Food Lion announced a more than $270 million investment across 94 stores in Greater Greensboro and the Triad, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to the region while delivering an improved shopping experience for customers,” in a release last week.

This soul food restaurant in Charlotte ranks No. 1 for fried chicken in NC

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. I watched kids grow from being six, seven years old. Now they’re in college.” The restaurant’s namesake chicken appears in dishes such as chicken dinners and a gizzard appetizer.

In fact, at old local spots like Kermit’s Hot Dog House and Pulliam’s Hot Dogs, those differences are part of the secret to a long, beloved tradition.
