Yooo my guys at @qsculinarycart just changed the d Yooo my guys at @qsculinarycart just changed the drink game in Charlotte. Boiled hot dog water lemonades!! 48 hour boiled glizzys, fresh picked lemons, jolly rancher and skittles flavor options, mayo and tajin rim, AND homemade hot dog straws. Nobody else in the city is doing it like this. You gotta pull up and try one before they sell out.

But nah Happy April Fools from Tha Daily Special x Qs Culinary! The ACTUAL food at Qs is amazing. If you haven’t been yet you’re definitely sleeping. Go check them out and tell them I sent you.

And make sure to follow @qsculinarycart and @thadailyspecial so you never miss what’s moving in the city.

Uchi is one of the most hyped restaurant openings Uchi is one of the most hyped restaurant openings Charlotte has seen in a while and it did not disappoint 🔥 We pulled up for the soft opening and went with the somakase, where the chef curates an entire tasting menu based on what you like. The sushi and nigiri was super fresh, the hot rock wagyu was a dope experience cooking it yourself at the table, and the karaage chicken with sweet chili was perfection. We also had the Uchi salad, shishito peppers, kinoko nabe, short rib, and this trumpet mushroom dish that caught us off guard. We tried a few mocktails too and they were all super refreshing. But whatever you do... do NOT skip dessert. The fried milk is one of the most unique desserts in Charlotte right now. If you love sushi and Japanese cuisine, this is a must visit. Oh and they offer complimentary valet which is a nice touch.

One of my favorite dinner series in Charlotte was One of my favorite dinner series in Charlotte was back this past weekend. 🎤🍽️

Serving the Culture: New Jack Sound was an 8-course immersive dining experience where Charlotte’s best chefs each crafted a dish inspired by a song from the New Jack Swing era. Bobby Brown. LL Cool J. Keith Sweat. Michael Jackson. Every course had a full vibe to match.

The plates were no joke - smoked chicken with butter bean whip, bereberé rabbit, a Mandazi dessert flight that went way too hard. Cocktail pairings with every course courtesy of mixologist Yoshi. The chefs absolutely killed it.

This is the only place you’re getting this mix of music, culture, and high-end dishes all in one room.

This was part of @charlottesgotalot Savor Charlotte which is 18 days of exclusive culinary experiences across the city. You’ve still got until March 28th to catch something special - link in their bio.

Charlotte, here’s one you need to know about. 🇮🇳🔥 Charlotte, here’s one you need to know about. 🇮🇳🔥

Utsav is way more than just a restaurant. You’ve got a full food hall with multiple stalls, a fine dining restaurant and bar called Happy Times, one of the biggest Indian grocery stores in the region with a fresh meat section, plus banquet space for events. It’s also right next to Costco on Tyvola, which makes it even easier to pull up.

A few of my favorites? The butter chicken pizza was a standout, the jalebi is a must when it’s fresh, and over at Happy Times the crispy corn, chicken tikka masala with garlic naan, goat biryani, and that standing pomfret fry were all hitting. Drinks were on point too.

This is definitely a spot to keep on your radar whether you’re trying to grab a casual bite, sit down for dinner, shop for groceries, or even book a space for an event.

Have y’all been here yet? 👀
