Wow. A diner owned by a CIA-trained chef? Polishing is exactly what owner-chef Otto Graham has done to this landmark building and menu. Even though the items are pure Americana, the ingredients used for these dishes are fresh and well chosen. If you’re tired of being snookered by home-styled restaurants offering you food straight out of the freezer or can, swing by Otto’s place for sublime comfort food.
Otto’s Knife and Fork, 2531 N. Sharon Amity. 704-568-9711.
