  • Chick-fil-A now does a $2.49 milkshake that's 14 ounces, in addition to the 20-ounce one for $2.89. It's also added a new flavor -- peach, in honor of its Georgia roots -- that will be available through Aug. 22.

Toward King's Kitchen

Attend dinner and a silent auction at Noble's (6801 Morrison Blvd.) on June 4 and you can help with the nonprofit The King's Kitchen. That's chef Jim Noble's name for the restaurant he is creating uptown to employ and minister to troubled and unemployed people in Charlotte, with profits going to aid the poor. Cost: $250; www.kingskitchen.org.
