| - May be my new favorite spot in Charlotte. I love supporting a local place over a chain--King's Kitchen is a non-profit, with 100% of profits going to feed Charlotte's homeless AND they employ homeless and give them job skills to be successful in the restaurant industry. I ordered lunch and had a glass of wine while I waited. (Washed my hands before eating and the restroom was spotless.) The Event Coordinator, Joseph, let my friend and I both try the glass of wine we ordered before we bought it, and made wine suggestions based on what we liked, (ie: I said I liked Pinot Grigio, not too sweet, and he suggested the Pinot Gris. My friend loved Chardonnay--Joseph said he had a Napa Chard and a French Chard, and the French was his favorite.) Nowhere else does that. The sandwich I got-sourdough Panini with chicken, was fantastic. The sourdough had the right amount of butter, and had grill marks like it had been done on a real grill, as opposed to something electric. The chicken breast was a good size, and the pimento cheese on the sandwich was so good. The flavor and texture of the beans was fantastic--flavored with pork and not mushy like some. Atmosphere was fantastic so I was definitely not wanting to go back to work. Can't wait to bring people here. I've passed this place so many times and I'm only mad I didn't try it sooner!
