| - I'm filing this one under one of the best meals I've ever had. I'm 30 and fat. I've had a lot of meals.
A friend and I were in town from Nashville to visit Carowinds and I basically just looked up restaurants near our hotel. This one popped up and the menu looked great. Variety, fusion, unique.
First of all, it may be in a strip mall, but the ambiance is wonderful inside. We sat down, tired from a day of driving and were promptly greeted by our waiter. I always try to eat and drink local when traveling so I asked him what local brews they had. Unfortunately, the only local brews on tap were IPAs, but they did have a Charlotte-made pale ale, Jam Session, and it was awesome.
We couldn't decide on one appetizer, so we got two. potstickers and spring rolls. They. Were. Delicious. It was the sauce that topped the potstickers that made them extremely unique. Some of the best I've had. The peanut sauce accompanying the springs rolls was perfect and had a little kick to it. Very unique.
Since we were both craving grits, we each got the BBQ pork. What a great-sized portion. It came with two slabs of BBQ pork and the sauce was sweet (our waiter even told us it'd be on the sweet end, just in case we didn't like that kind of sauce). The pork was on top of cheese grits (phenomenal), along with green beans and sided with fried green tomatoes. What an awesome, southern dish.
We loved it so much that we actually filled out the comment cards and handed them to the hostess. I'd love to go back the next time in town and try the sushi. But what a unique restaurant that we were able to enjoy Asian and southern cuisine in the same place!
