A quick rant...

As most of you probably know there is a shortage of truly great restaurants here in Charlotte leaving our Queen City lacking the cuisine fit for her! Part of this issue is the over saturation of corporate chain fast food eateries. We will not refer to them as restaurants because they do nothing to restore anything to people except maybe some chemical preservatives and saturated fats! These places are NOT healthy, wholesome, or quality! ( Unless your idea of quality is utility grade beef, chemical pesticides and the like? ) The owners and operators of these places are not even "restauranteurs", but franchise owners preying upon large families and people on the go!They do not care about you as individuals nor care where the product they serve comes from as long as it is affordable, allowing them to make profit.

We will no longer accept this mentality from the people and places that serve us food! Food should be nourishing, comforting, fresh, grown/raised and prepared with care! We do not want to be fed foods that are proven to cause health issues,we all deserve to eat well and feel good! The best way we have found to do this is to eat at some of the smaller, chef owned restaurants where the Chefs are passionate about food, service and will care deeply about how their cuisine is regarded by their guests, preparing your food with care. Many local chefs prefer to use local produce, meats and sundries, advertising this on their menus and telling you which farm or breed the ingredients come from. We appreciate knowing these details!Get to know your local chefs, some of them even have multiple restaurants meaning more good food for us. We believe that by only supporting these small local restaurants rather than fast food chains is the key to preserving the availability of quality food and insuring its growth here in Charlotte!!! Oh yea... and fast food sucks!
