Have lived in Charlotte for almost a year, and have take a personal (if not misguided) initiative to eat in as many spots as I can. Soul Gastrolounge has the best food I've had so far.
First of all, the atmosphere is killer. Dive bar meets hipster meets club meets food truck meets I don't know what else. It's edgy and comfortable all at the same time.
But the food. Shared several rounds of small plates with a friend. Pork belly tacos, pan con tomate, ahi tacos, some sort of bacon cream corn that fell from heaven, sushi that made me cry. At some point we had dessert. I could describe how they tasted, but I think I'll just stop and enjoy the memory again. And plan my next trip.
