Hickory Locals Pack The Drive-Thru At This Family-Owned North Carolina Chicken Joint Instead Of Hitting Fast Food

Every weekday around lunchtime, a line of cars snakes around a small building on a busy Hickory highway. The people in those cars could hit any big chain in town, but they keep coming back here instead. Some of them drive half an hour, and at least a few have...

The Steak People Drive Hours For Comes From This Remote North Carolina Restaurant

The ribeye here gets aged for at least 28 days, then chargrilled over an open wood fire. The restaurant’s prime rib is aged before being slowly roasted and served. That kind of patience is rare, and I think it shows. The building is a rustic log cabin with oil...

How a tiny sandwich shop by Charlotte got Michelin's attention, and why you should go

A snug sandwich shop near Charlotte with only 14 seats inside and almost as many picnic tables outside made this year’s Michelin Guide American South as a recommended restaurant, surprising foodie followers used to seeing avant garde tasting menus and fine dining steakhouses on the list. But probably no one in North Carolina was more caught off guard than the owners of Pump Social , Rachael and AJ Donner, who opened the restaurant in a former gas station in Concord just last August . She thought the September email sent by the French tire company’s little red travel guide was spam. At least she did until checking with friends whose Nashville restaurant was listed as a Bib Gourmand last year by “sheepishly” sending them a screenshot — and hearing they believed it was real. “I keep thinking, ‘How did we? Like, how would they even know?’ I don’t know. I have no idea,” Donner said of the whole experience. ”This was never something that was on our radar — ever,” she said. “And then being open a year, and we got that email. Even if it’s just a recommendation. I mean, I’m so happy to be even included,” she said.

This Small-Town North Carolina Diner Serves Up the Homestyle Breakfast of Your Dreams

There’s a plain white building on the edge of Marion that doesn’t look like much from the road, and that’s exactly the point. Somewhere between the gravel lot full of pickup trucks and the front door sits a breakfast so good it’ll make you forget you ever trusted a chain restaurant with your eggs.

Vietnamese sandwich and bubble tea restaurant opens in Lake Norman retail center

Co-owners Tracy Quach and Luynh Nguyen have brought the authentic flavors and ingredients of their native Vietnam to Lake Norman with their new bánh mì and bubble tea restaurant, Vietopia . The establishment opened Oct. 1 in the former R&B Tea space in the Winslow Bay Commons (SuperTarget) shopping center at N.C. 150 and Bluefield Road in Mooresville. “When we took over the shop, we wanted to create something special that you could not find around here,” Quach told CharlotteFive at the restaurant Wednesday. Bulgogi Beef ($9.50) is the most popular menu item, Quach said. The bánh mì item includes beef with a secret sauce, pickled Daikon, carrot, cucumber and cilantro. “Very fresh,” Quach said. “Everything homemade.” Other bánh mìs include the Vietnamese Cold Cuts ($9), pork, liver pate and Vietnamese ham; the Mooresville ($9.75), pork, ham and pate; the Vegetarian ($8), tofu and vegan ham; the Shredded Chicken ($9) and the Roasted Pork ($9.50). The Vietnamese baguette with each bánh mì “has a hollow inside, not too dense, a little crispy on the outside, and best when you eat it warm,” Quach said. Fresh spring rolls (pork, shrimp, beef and tofu selections) are $6.50 for two rolls and $9.50

Build Your Own Bouquets at This Family Flower Farm Tucked Into North Carolina’s Zionville Hills

Some of the best finds in North Carolina hide at the end of a quiet country road, where you would never think to look. I went expecting a quick peek at a few flower rows and left with muddy shoes, a head full of growing tips, and a sudden craving for a picnic among the blooms.
