Who says there's no restaurant history in Charlotte? Restaurants old and new are the subject of the next "The New South for the New Southerner" lecture from 5:30-7:30 pm. Thursday, Jan. 10, at the Levine Museum of the New South, 200 E. 7th St. (next to the Seventh Street Station parking deck).
Bruce Hensley, founder of Charlotte Restaurant Week, will talk about the history of the Charlotte restaurant scene, while Denise Botello-Coleman of LATINA 102.3 FM will talk about the Latin American cultures you can experience in Charlotte restaurants. The event is sponsored by Mert's Heart and Soul, The Observer, WFAE and Marsh Properties.
It costs $10 (free for museum members) and includes the program, wine and a Southern chicken dinner from Mert's. Registration is required. Call 704-333-1887, ext. 501, or email rsvp@museumofthenewsouth.org.

The Epicurean was legendary.

Rogers Barbecue on Atando. Best ever.
The Captain's Galley and later Gus Purcell's on Independence had character. The old Town House and Mayberry's in MP. I am amazed every time I visit how generic/mediocre the restaurants in Charlotte have become.
How about Kofinas' and the Plenty Burger? and Jake's, of course.
Corned beef on rye at Leo's Delicatessen circa 1965.
German Chocolate Cake at Ivey's Tulip Terrace early 60's.
I don't suppose anyone has that German Chocolate Cake recipe from the Tulip Terrace??? I had almost forgotten it!
