Taste of Charlotte

It's not every day that Charlotte-area eateries (from Caffe Siena, Caribbean Hut, and Mai Thai Restaurant & Bar to Mert's Heart & Soul and so many others) gather in the streets of Uptown Charlotte for a feeding foray. But that happens each year during Taste of Charlotte, a culinary festival with enough grub to fill all your tummy grumbling needs. For more information or details about participating restaurants, visit www.tasteofcharlotte.com.
