Unfortunately, Charlotte will always behind other Southern food cities like Charleston and Atlanta.

People don't realize that Charlotte is still a budget conscious city in which people are not going to consistently pay big money for upscale dining that does not tickle the tummy consistently.

I would dearly love for Pizzaria Uno to come back to uptown, and perhaps a nice Mexican place (more real Mexican than Moe's or Salsarita's).

I went there first time for restaurant week and figured they might just overwhelmed by that crowd. Then I went back for after work drinks and apps and we were there for nearly 4 hours just to get appetizers. And the final time I went because a friend raved about the bar manager, and while he was awesome the food was still sub par.
