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. Though Tasting Table singled out the hushpuppies as a must-order dish, the menu also features Southern sides like collard greens, fried okra and macaroni and cheese. Other Charlotte dining destinations have drawn recent attention for their

Mystery fish caught off NC coast sets a ‘new species state record,' officials say

A fisherman accidentally set a “new species state record” in North Carolina when he caught an oval-shaped fish that no one on the charter boat could identify. Jim Bickerstaff was about 45 miles off Southport, fishing in 140 feet of water when something on his 80-pound test line started fighting back. The elongated fish he pulled aboard the Oak Island Fishing Charter weighed just over 6 pounds, and was 25.5 inches long and 17 inches around, the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries said in a Nov. 10 news release. It has been identified as a unicorn filefish, and it represented a new species for the state’s record keeping. “The truth is, none of us knew what type of fish it was. I’ve been fishing offshore for years, and our captain goes out there more than anybody I know. None of us had ever seen one, and none of us knew what to call it,” Bickerstaff told The Charlotte Observer. “I would love to claim that I’m quite the amazing angler who searched all his life to catch this great white whale, but that would be untrue as I was unaware of this fish’s existence. I actually used the Fish Rules

Stein awards Order of the Long Leaf Pine to boat builder

Gov. Josh Stein visited on Tuesday to honor a local entrepreneur who has been recognized for both his business acumen and his philanthropy. Eddie Smith, the owner of Grady-White Boats, was recognized during a ceremony at the company's Greenville plant, where he received the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. "One of the benefits of being governor is that I get to recognize some of the very best people in North Carolina," Stein said before a crowd of about 125 employees and guests. "Eddie Smith was responsible for taking a struggling business and turning it into what we see here today. Grady-White is part of what has made North Carolina the best state in the southeast for manufacturing." But Stein added that it isn't just Smith's commercial saavy that earned him the award. "What's remarkable about Eddie is not just how he built this company, but how he decided to leave it," Stein said. In July, Smith announced plans to place the company into a perpetual purpose trust, which protects it from takeover by outside buyers and supports the interests of the company's 336 employees. Smith was understated in his remarks. He credited employees with doing the hard work of
