I used to live in Charlotte for 2 years. The opening of Owen's within walking distance of our house changed my world, and made me a much happier Charlottean.
Ambling over on Saturday and/or Sunday mornings to read the paper and munch on a Hangover Helper was the best part of my week. The fact that they included a fountain soda along with an egg, cheddar and sausage (that's what I got on it, anyway) onion bagel sandwich immediately impressed me regarding how well they knew what cured my hangovers.
Oh, and the Chia Bagel, Hot Tuna Meltdown, and Banana Surprise are other favorite menu items.
I'm no longer a resident, but Owen's is always one of my first stops back in town. Last week we were in Charlotte for four days - four days made great by three lunches at Owen's!
