Seize the day and get your hungry self over to Carpe Diem. While Carpe Diem is a little fancy pants to just roll into with jorts and a Dale Jr. tee, make the effort. It's a lovely restaurant- beautifully appointed and as Julia S points out - stellar…More »

Meat and cheese and wine, oh my! Customshop is the place the hubs and I will visit for a hefty serving of all of the above. While we've had a full meal here, I think they shine with their appetizers and wine selections. Their meat and cheese boards…More »

Fresh, fresh, fresh! I'm a big fan of Crisp.
A few girlfriends and I stopped by Crisp to enjoy a light dinner before heading to a show at Ovens. I'm so glad I did! The salads are generous, the ingredients are fresh and crisp and all of the protein is…More »

Oh my stars another delicious bakery! Thank goodness, because God forbid I have to travel a mile outside of Elizabeth to fetch a delicious treat.
I was really intrigued by Sunflour as soon as I read that they were opening. It's a (pun intended) sunny…More »

Sometimes it's just nice to belly up to a bar or a long table and take in some scary bad karaoke and dine on some tasty bar bites. So, for these intents & purposes, Jackalope Jacks fills the void. And it fills it well, too, if I may add.

On a unseasonably warm February evening, hubs and I ventured out for some eats. Since we both had fairly light lunches we were starvin' marvins. After attempting to stop by a handful of places (closed on Monday or an hour long wait) we settled on…More »
And the skies opened and I could hear "Hallllllllllllllllelujah!" Tasty Chinese food in Charlotte!

Sweet, sweet patio. I adore thee. P Stone has earned a special place in my heart because I kicked my husband's a$$ in corn hole on the patio. That's really important, folks.

If you want to bust a move in a gas station parking lot, this is the one to do so. This Kangaroo Express bumps some beats over the speaker system, so I feel a bit inclined to shimmy as I refuel my car.
