Weekend Eats: Charlotte Version

As promised, I am following up last week’s Tampa version of “Weekend Eats” with this week’s Charlotte version to cover both national conventions from a bipartisan (and culinary) perspective. While I didn’t get a ton of free time to explore all of the great offerings within the Charlotte food scene, I did get a few delicious meals in. Left to right:

1. Grilled scallops salad with arugula, avocado, and corn at Rooster’s Kitchen Uptown
2. Mozzarella and tomato wood fired pizza at Rooster’s Kitchen Uptown
3. Chicken Parmigiana from Aria Tuscan Grill
4. Skillet cornbread from Halcyon Restaurant, Flavors from the Earth at the Charlotte Mint Museum
5. Wild mushroom pizza at Aria Tuscan Grill
6. Burger and greens from Halcyon Restaurant, Flavors from the Earth
7. Chicken pad thai from Basil Thai
