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

Meet Slim: North Carolina's Last Remaining County Coroner

JOIN THE 250+ PAID SUPPORTERS WHO MAKE THE RABBIT HOLE POSSIBLE HERE. There really isn’t an easy way to get in touch with North Carolina’s last remaining elected coroner. The office isn’t listed on the Yadkin County government website. The official phone number, buried in old PDFs, no longer works. The person who picked up the phone in the county manager’s office paused for a moment before stating “I do not have a number for him,” then referred me to the EMS department. There, the on-duty officer gave me a long “Let me see…. Let me seeeeeeeeeeee…” before finding a number that he thought might work.

Rep. Virginia Foxx, trailing in NC election, wants observers for ballot counting

Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx said Friday she’s requested “nonpartisan election observers” to be present for vote counting across North Carolina’s 5th District as she trails in the election. Foxx, 83, has served 11 terms representing the district, which today encompasses rural parts the northwestern section of the state as well as most of Greensboro. Her Democratic opponent, Chuck Hubbard, is currently winning by just 99 votes, according to preliminary results. But county election boards still have to review provisional ballots — those with questions about the voters’ eligibility — and count some qualifying military and overseas ballots arriving before the deadline of 5 p.m. on Nov. 12 . On the ballots with outstanding questions, voters have until Nov. 10 to “cure” the ballot by fixing the problem or answering the question. Then the results will have to be certified by election officials. Following that, if the race remains within a 1% margin, as it currently is, a recount can be requested. What Foxx said In a Facebook on Friday, Foxx said, “Nonpartisan election observers under the guidance of the Committee on House Administration will be present across the 5th District as the count continues, and will serve as important, watchful

‘Blue wave,' Virginia Foxx election: What News & Observer readers talked about Nov. 2-8

Election week dominated the conversation at newsobserver.com. From a longtime Republican congresswoman hanging on by fewer than 100 votes to Democrats flipping the state House after 16 years, readers were talking online Nov. 2-8. Here are the five stories that had News & Observer readers talking last week, and where you can jump in. Virginia Foxx’s razor-thin loss Rep. Virginia Foxx, the 83-year-old Banner Elk Republican who chairs the powerful House Rules Committee, lost her reelection bid to Democrat Chuck Hubbard — but barely. With all precincts reporting in the 5th Congressional District, Hubbard led 48.7% to 48.66%, close enough for Foxx to call for a recount. »» Read the story, see the comments Is a blue wave sweeping NC’s congressional races? Heading into Election Day, politics reporter Danielle Battaglia broke down how President Donald Trump’s low approval ratings and shifting Cook Political Report ratings were putting Republican-drawn maps to the test.

DMV fees, retiree raises. How new NC House leader wants to take on costs

Democrats swept elections across the country, and won the North Carolina state House, on the tide of bringing costs down for regular people. Democratic Rep. Robert Reives, who is the current House minority leader and expected next speaker, has several ideas of how to bring costs down. Reives, who is running for House speaker and has the votes among Democrats to win the job come January, held his first news conference Tuesday at the Legislative Building since Democrats flipped the House on election night, 71-49. “We’re not going to be able to solve every problem facing our state, but I promise you this: we’re going to work as hard as we can to make life more affordable and to deliver for you and your families,” he said. “And we will make sure that if we are not able to deliver, that we are very clear and succinct about the reason why. That’s why we were sent here, and we’re not going to forget that.” Here’s what Reives wants to do to make life more affordable for North Carolinians. DMV fees “The DMV was the first thing on my mind,” Reives told The News & Observer when asked what kind of
