First time for me for both. Is the steakhouse any good?

It's good. I think it's definitely one of the better chains. They have a nice little bar area, too.

The Charlotte FC games are a lot of fun. Definitely a more fun crowd than the Panthers.

Morton’s isn’t bad, but RIP McIntosh’s steakhouse.

That was a Charlotte institution. For some reason, bankers I guess, around 2000 Charlotte attracted every chain steak place known to man. Morton’s, Sullivan’s, Ruth’s Chris, Capitol Grill, The Palm……..local places didn’t stand a chance.

It’s it worth that much money… maybe maybe not.
And now the game is delayed for weather and sitting here sweating balls at BofA stadium cement jungle

The only local steakhouse I can think of that is here right now is Beef n Bottle. That place has been around for a while. Best steakhouse in the QC.

Yes, it’s legit and I love the old school vibe.

You would have liked McIntoshes. It was near the South and East blvd intersection and was there wayyyyy before the trolley and whole south end revitalization ever started. Just one of those places that made everyone feel like the most important person in the place every time you went and the food was amazing.

Sullivan's has always been my favorite chain, but we knew people that worked there (at least up until the pandemic) and we've always gotten extra-special treatment there. The $48 prix fixe menu is a deal and a perfect amount of food every time I go.

What do you define as a 'chain'?

just wondered, but I also think of these as franchises.
I have no idea if The Palm, etc. are franchises or not, but if they are not, are they a chain? Used to be Houtson's from Atlanta was in a few cities, but I do not think it was ever franchised.
I have eaten at The Palm in DC (old school and old style) and in Charlotte, both were excellent, as was Sullivans' but all have been many years ago.
Is Del Frisco's still around?

identical decor, menus, policies and procedures, etc, usually more than just a regional presence.
Don't think they're franchised so much as restaurant chains with common corporate ownership.

The single greatest meal I’ve ever had in Charlotte was at Barrington’s. Chef is the owner and a James Beard nominee, and it’s just a special experience.

But yeah, it's an excellent place. If memory serves, they do a prix fixe kind of deal there too. I can't remember what I had there...and other than the fact that there's always some new place opening that gets all the hype, I don't know why I never think to go there.

Left the Ward Davis show at Amos Southend on South Tryon just after 11pm and walked 3 blocks to the car in a monsoon. If you'd told me I'd have the heater on in the car on July 30 in Charlotte, I would have laughed. Not sure I've ever seen the streets flood like that in Uptown Charlotte before.

I must have missed a pretty big storm. I was in a movie theatre watching the Elvis movie. When I came out and drove home, I saw a pretty large tree down on Sardis North. The power went out during the movie, and they had to restart the movie.

Closed at the very beginning of the pandemic
Aug 1, 2022, 8:27 AM
|

then reopened about a year later but they lost about 2/3 of their space. It's a much smaller venue now, which is great for being close to the band but the acoustics in that building are not the best. It sounded better when it was larger, oddly enough.

Don't think LiveNation has a grip there, our Ward Davis tickets were from eTix, which serves the independent venues. For a small independent venue, they sure have a large staff of huge muscular bouncers there. It looked like the WWE locker room when we walked inside Saturday night, LOL.

I was a dishwasher. I was 17. I helped open the Quincey's across the street from the new Haywood Mall in Greenville. I lasted about 3 months and then took a job in construction which paid a lot better.
