Charlotte’s food scene never slows down, and this week was no exception. From new restaurant openings and beloved bakeries finding permanent homes to chef competitions and reader polls, here’s everything that happened in Charlotte food this week on CharlotteFive.

Owner Shari Lynne Robins described the concept as “affordable glamour,” inspired by her love of KazuNori and designed so people feel like they can visit two or three times a week.
