We kicked off DJ Yummy’s week long birthday celebration this week at the Epicentre in Uptown Charlotte. Her parents came down from their castle in VA and we spent the weekend hitting up the Ren Fest, heading to the Lazy 5 Ranch, watching Denzel Washington’s new movie… “Flight”, then wrapping it up with dinner at MEZ.

Brooks Sandwich House is the setting for our latest recap. Located in the NoDa area just outside of Uptown Charlotte, Brooks Sandwich House has been in operation since the 1970′s and remains as authentic today as it has for decades.
This week we celebrated our Three Year Anniversary by doing some ziplining and hiking in Asheville then finished the night by dining at the McNinch House in the Historic Fourth Ward section of Uptown Charlotte. For those who haven’t heard of it.. the McNinch House is a super fine dining restaurant located in one of the oldest houses in Charlotte, in fact… its even older than the Biltmore Estate.
We were greeted by the wine steward upon our arrival and given a brief tour and history lesson of the house.

Way back in the beginning… long before this site was created, we checked out Mac’s Speed Shop in the South End. Our first trip there was memorable and left us constantly wondering if/when we would make our way back over there. Well this week we made our return visit but left with a less than stellar impression.
In celebration of buying a new house we decided to head to one of our favorite restaurants, so this week we hit up Bonterra.
The first time we went to Bonterra we opted for the valet parking… which we then found out was a waste of money. So needless to say, on our second trip we decided to park our car on the street. Continue reading
I recently checked out Cluck ‘N Cup in the SouthEnd area with my little brother and my dad and thought it was amazing!!! Only open for breakfast and lunch, Cluck ‘N Cup serves up Coffee, Chicken Pot Pies, Chicken Nachas, Chicken Wraps, Chicken etc… and from what I can tell its all worth checking out.
We told you guys about JJ’s Red Hots Opening on East Blvd a couple months ago… well now its July and they are almost ready to open their doors to the public. We got pre-grand opening access to Charlotte’s soon to be “Best place to get a hot dog” and were pretty impressed :)
