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.

Two climbers found themselves trapped hundreds of feet up a mountain wall after sunset, and it took a drone with thermal imaging to find them in the dark, according to rescuers in western North Carolina. The call for help came around 7:25 Friday, after the climbers reported being “stranded on the sheer rock face of Whiteside Mountain,” Glenville-Cashiers Rescue Squad wrote in a Nov. 7 Facebook post. The mountain is “a landmark along the Eastern Continental Divide,” towering 4,930 feet over Nantahala National Forest, U.S. Forest Service says. “Using a drone equipped with thermal imaging and night-vision capabilities, our rescuers located the two climbers approximately 600 feet above the base of the mountain’s nearly vertical 1,000-foot rock face,” the squad said. “The climbers had been employing unconventional climbing techniques and had encountered significant technical failures involving their limited climbing gear. These difficulties were further compounded by hazardous climbing conditions resulting from recent heavy rainfall.” A High Angle Rescue Team climbed down to reach the climbers, secured them with a technical rope rescue system, then pulled them to the summit, officials said. One climber had to be pulled 230 feet up, and the other was pulled 350 feet, according to Highlands
