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.

ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteHow about Kofinas' and the Plenty Burger? and Jake's, of course.
