Harvest Moon Grille is of the opinion that we'd better pony up a Charlotte Signature Dish before all those Democratic National Conventioneers get here. You in?
The restaurant folks "challenge our fellow Charlotteans to create a Charlotte Signature Dish that you feel best represents Charlotte ... (It) must not only be delicious, it must express the Queen City, who we are, what we are known for, and what Charlotte is all about. Put it all on the plate. All ingredients must be local."
You can submit entries until midnight March 15. Describe your entry (plus a photo, if possible), include the recipe and list contact information, including home and work phone numbers, and email to signaturedishofcharlotte@gmail.com. You can also snail-mail it to Harvest Moon Grille, Attn: Signature Dish of Charlotte, 235 N. Tryon St., Charlotte NC 28202.
Judges (to be determined) will choose three finalists, and announce the winner May 18. Grand prize winner gets a free night at the Dunhill (the hotel that houses Harvest Moon), and dinner that night and breakfast the next morning at the restaurant. The winning dish will go on the menu. The second-place winner gets dinner for two; third place is worth a weekend brunch for two.

What's Charlotte's signature dish?

May be hard to come up with a dish consisting of sushi, burgers and frozen yogurt but I'll give it a go.
A contest to create a 'signature' dish? Lame. Talk about a city with a never ending need for affirmation.
For the Democratic Convention, I think a nice serving of crow is in order.
How about onion rings, in "honor" of that idiotic sculpture at Woodlawn & Randolph?
Nanner puddin'!!!
” wannabe stew” sushi, pizza, bbq, liver mush
You mean Wendover and Randolph? Sheesh.
meat and two w/bread made by one of the many Greek owned restaurants
This is lame. It is BBQ, there is no second place.
Fried pickles, vinegar based barbecue with slaw, and a glass of sweet tea seem pretty Charlottean to me.
We also seem to take the "Carolina Burger" concept to another level. I can get it at just about any local establishment.
For it to be on your menu on May 18th using only local ingredients, contestants better be aware of what is in season in May. That those things would still be in season by Labor Day, when the convention is here, is even trickier.
I agree with Brian. Carolina Burger with pimento cheese and fried pickles.
I'm getting hungry already.
