Scouting out delicious restaurants is my absolute favorite pastime.  When I meet new people, one of the first questions I ask is what their top restaurant picks are in the city.  Friends, coworkers, clients, strangers on the street.  Whatever it takes.  From little hole in the wall mom and pop shops to fancy schmancy and everything in between. Sign.me.up.  Since moving from Akron, Ohio to Charlotte, North Carolina I’ve made it my personal goal to try every restaurant in this beautiful city

This page includes links to many of the restaurant reviews I’ve posted on the blog.  You can see links to all of my restaurant reviews on Urbanspoon here.
