  • The Taste of Charlotte felt more like a Taste of Commercialism and Corporate America. Yes, I do realize that events like these (and of this large size) are not possible without corporate sponsors, but there were reminders everywhere. There looked to be a lot of activities for kids like face painting, bouncy houses and a large slide; from a kid's perspective, any big street fair is five stars, from a grown up perspective, not so much. There was a beach party area with a live band that was great. The downside? 5 coins for a can of Corona. You do the math $1.33 per coin times 5 = $6.65 Corona. Ugh! I was surprised to see so few restaurants participating. Many of the names were from Big Chains and not local places...maybe the booths cost more than the exposure is worth? If that's the case it would be nice if the "little guy" could get some exposure too. The Ahi Slider from the Ale House was undoubtedly the best thing I tried (great flavors and a little kick in the spice rub) and the worst were the fish tacos from McCormick and Schmick (no flavor and they smelled like "turned" seafood - one bite and done - I can't eat something that doesn't smell good). Kudos to the Chobani truck for offering full size samples of something healthy! Kudos to Salsarita's for big portions and tasty food! The Sweet Tea with sucralose, I could do without! I want sugar in my sweet tea! All that being said, and sounding like a grouchy old man who remembers when Cokes were 10 cents, I'm glad the city holds street fairs and cultural events like this. It gets people and their kids out of their house and into a community driven social situation/celebration!! Go for yourself and decide, just because it wasn't my cup of tea, doesn't mean it might not be yours!!
