After filming wrapped for the latest @bravotopchef After filming wrapped for the latest @bravotopchef Carolina’s episode, I had a chance to chat with a few of the judges @kristenlkish and @gailsimmonseats and get some of their thoughts. Thanks to them for taking the time!

Top Chef filming in the Carolinas?! Glad I was abl Top Chef filming in the Carolinas?! Glad I was able to be there! Bucket list item officially checked off ✅

This was Episode 12 “Appalachian Celebration” — the top 5 chefs hosted a one-night-only event in Asheville for 200 community members in recognition of their resilience after Hurricane Helene. The vibe under the trees was unmatched and the meaning behind the event made it that much more special.

My standouts of the day: @rockyrhodakill stuffed cabbage with that fire chili oil and @laurence_louie fish sandwich — both absolute heat 🔥

Even ended up in the episode a few times which was wild to see 👀

Big shoutout to @bravotopchef for the way they’ve been showcasing the Carolinas this season and the hosts @kristenlkish @gailsimmonseats @tomcolicchio 

Catch the rest of Top Chef Monday nights on @BravoTV and streaming next day on @Peacock 📺

🌮🎉 Cinco de Mayo just got a whole lot more lit — @ 🌮🎉 Cinco de Mayo just got a whole lot more lit — @comparefoodsclt is bringing back Fiesta de los Tacos and these tacos are NOT playing around! 50 cent tacos - you cannot beat that!

Also - Thanks to @urbanleague_charlotte with Ricky Singh @mrrickysingh (@mbkcltmeck), the first 1,000 tacos at South Blvd and the first 500 at Concord are FREE (limit 5 per person) — and even after the free tacos are gone, tacos are just 50¢ ALL DAY. Get there early because there will be a line and they will go FAST!

Honey Pies BBQ just took over the old Bubba’s off Honey Pies BBQ just took over the old Bubba’s off Sunset and this Black woman-owned spot is serving up Texas style BBQ with all the southern sides we love! 

The grand opening was a whole EXPERIENCE - line out the door, DJs spinning, food trucks, car & bike show, a play area for the kids, AND @charlottecowboys pulled up with the horses. It genuinely felt like a good ol’ country time out here!

I grabbed a platter with a variety of things and spent around $53 - brisket, chicken, collard greens, potato salad & mac and cheese. My boy Moe aka @thecouplewhoeatzz got the dino beef ribs and those things were CRAZY. Service was attentive too!

This was just the grand opening so stay tuned - I’ll be pulling back up once they’re officially open to give y’all the full review! 
Follow me to stay plugged in to what’s going on in the city 👀
