| - New South unfortunately no longer offers the RSVP menu I wrote about in 2010, but their food is still delicious. Their old deal comes back for restaurant week, though, for $30. Went for brunch a few weeks ago, and was impressed. The brioche french toast was flavorful, light, and fluffy. The mini muffins I ordered on the side came out warm, and were a great serving of totally unnecessary additional carbs. As was the biscuit that I ordered. For $0.50 for a muffin or biscuit, why not? My girlfriend got the eggs benedict - definitely not traditional, as it was served with pulled pork instead of ham, and on top of grit cakes, instead of English muffins. The red potatoes side was perfectly cooked, as well. Girlfriend couldn't finish all of the potatoes, so what the hell, more carbs for brunch!
They still have a great beer selection - all but one draft was from a Charlotte brewery, and the final draft was from another NC brewery. In fact, each Charlotte distributing-brewery (Four Friends, NoDa, OMB, Birdsong) was represented.
