  • When you go to Block & Grinder, I hope you're lucky enough to meet Chef Kent Graham. If you only talk to him for one minute, the passion for his food is loud and clear. It comes through in his wonderful inspired meals. Great to have a meal from a chef that truly loves to cook. I was meeting friends for dinner and I got to B&G before they opened, luckily they let me in anyway. And guess who was there?? My CM Ben G. and his lovely wife JJ! I knew I was in for a treat then lol ;). The restaurant is beautiful on the inside. Chic but simple with cool wooden menus. I had one of their handcrafted cocktails...Blood Water while I waited on my guests. Very nice with a little spice from the Ginger Beer and Creole Bitters and the "Blood Garnish". My waitor Jeff was very nice, he and I and Chef Kent got a chance to talk before they were officially open for the evening. Chef Kent shared that they may be adding a late night offal's menu. Kind of like an offal tapas! This is great for those (like me) who may be a little leery of "variety meats". As of now I think B&G is the only restaurant offering offal in the Charlotte area. Chef Kent lights up when he starts talking about it...it's going to be great! Anywho, for dinner, I had the Spring Chicken. It came beautifully perched atop a sweet potato arugula and onion hash. This wonderful hash had BACON in it!!! Bacon that's made in-house of course, like everything else. I don't eat pork but, I ate every single little bacon bit (wich was more like small pieces of lardon). Darn you bacon! You gateway meat!!! The chicken was cooked perfectly, it was juicy with crisp skin. Both of my guests had burgers. One had the Bacon Cheddar and the other had the Lamb Burger which is an homage to Chef Kent's favorite chef. I heard no complaints from either. B&G also has a small wine cellar where you can go and pick out a bottle and bring it back to your table. It's hard to chose between the great selection of wines and cocktails. You can't lose either way! B&G is unique in offering a retail butcher shop along with a restaurant. I love the concept. You know right where your food is coming from and where it's made. Super fresh!!!!!! Check this place out, I'm going back for lunch soon.
