Food Truck Bites- Jive Turkey Legs ~ Charlotte, NC
Who doesn’t remember the thrill of visiting the carnival, fair, and amusement park for death defying roller coasters, goofy characters, and giant stuffed prizes? Over time, memories of those once dazzling spectacles often fade and the stuffed bears are thrown away, but the aroma of the food lingers on.
Hot dogs, turkey legs, cotton candy, nachos, and more. There’s something special about the taste and aroma of the treats we could only find under the Big Top that brought smiles to our younger selves. Those memories tend to resurface at local parades or sporting events, but more often than not the opportunity to taste those delectable foods from our youth are fewer and far between. That is until now.
Buzz Talk – Montford Misfits ~ Charlotte, NC
The late Andy Warhol once commented “Don’t think about making art, just get it done.” In Charlotte, North Carolina, Brian Egger and his partners at Montford Misfits are doing just that. They’re making art and it’s popularity has expanded so much you see their creations in restaurants, bars, breweries, and bottle shops all over the state and beyond.
You may not have heard of Brian or Montford Misfits, but if you’re a patron of craft beer establishments, you’ve likely seen (and even commented on) their custom beer maps that adorn walls and entryways everywhere.
What the Fries Food Truck ~ Charlotte, NC
Despite the unfortunate moniker “French” Fries, the Fry (aka French-Fried Potatoes, Finger Chips, Steak Fries, or Chips) is about as American as baseball and apple pie.
Simple, cheap, salty (or not), crispy (or not), wedged or straight cut, seasoned (or not), dipped, topped, smothered. There is no end to the ways that fries can be prepared; And, there are endless debates on what constitutes “Good” fries.
The Dreamchaser’s Brewery ~ Waxhaw, NC
With nearly 30 breweries in the Charlotte area, Queen City craft beer enthusiasts have lots of choices. But, sometimes the most interesting places to visit are well off the beaten path.
The Dreamchaser’s Brewery opened its doors in May 2016 just Southeast of Charlotte on the North Carolina / South Carolina border in the town of Waxhaw, North Carolina. We took a trip to Waxhaw to meet Neal and Anita Gimon about this craft beer way station that is quickly becoming a favorite for beer aficionados from both sides of the Carolina’s.
