Chef Brett McKee of Oak Steakhouse and 17 North, both in the Charleston area, will be opening his restaurant 15 North Roadside Kitchen in Charlotte on Thursday, Aug. 26.
15 North is part of the family of "Roadside Kitchen" restaurants that Chef McKee is opening up. RS Kitchens is based on the concept that we each travel down a "road" to get where we are today, which is full of memories ... food memories. Whether it be dishes we grew up on, or international dishes our grandparents grew up on, 15 North's menu hopes to bring back those memories. The dishes on the menu are inspired by local demographics and also by suggestions of guests.
I took a gander at their menu and I've already marked all the dishes I can't wait to sink my teeth into. Being a New England girl, I look forward to their Maine Lobster Rolls, which come two to an order, and are served with grilled speckled corn. And what is the Bomba di Riso? A dome of duck and veggies? I'm intrigued... please tell me more...
The most awesome thing on the menu is the Roadside Dessert Burger. This so-called burger consists of "Krispy Kreme Donut, Chocolate Pate, Mango Gelato, Sliced Strawberries & Kiwi. Served with Puff Pastry Fries, Raspberry Coulis, and Crème Anglaise." Shut. the. front. door.
Actually, the Three Times The Cup Cake sounds pretty amazing as well... Ok, who am I kidding, I've basically highlighted and post-it marked up the majority of the menu already.
Take a look for yourself the menu is posted on the next page.
