Charlotte, North Carolina has just landed the #9 spot of the 26 hottest food cities in the USA as ranked by Zagat, actually beating out long-time favorites like Charleston (#11); Atlanta (#10); Savannah (#12); New York City (#21); and San Francisco (#20)! In fact, two North Carolina cities made the top 10 list of the hottest food cities in 2016, with Asheville ranked #7. As Zagat put it:
"Once known only as a sports-centric center of commerce, Charlotte has emerged as the new destination for adventurous, landscape-driven cuisine. There’s no shortage of up-and-coming chefs...With dozens more openings anticipated for next year — and plenty of other chefs making the move to Charlotte from big cities like San Francisco and New York — this burgeoning dining scene is only just getting started. "
For those of use who've lived in the Queen City for a while and remember it as a bit of a culinary "wasteland," this is very exciting news putting us on the map with world class cities recognized for their culinary offerings.
