As Charlotte’s demographics have changed, as people move here from around the country, the less homogenous character of the city is now reflected in our dining options. We’ve gone from a town full of restaurants featuring a meat and three with sweet tea to a city in which foods from around the world including multi-ethnic fusions are featured, still leaving room for Southern barbeque. We take a closer look at these new options and what they tell us about our changing identity.
