I'm also going to be in town this weekend.  I used to go to games all the time when I was a kid (from Asheville).  But I've only been to Charlotte a couple times in the last 7 or 8 years.  I'm trying to decide where I should eat tomorrow night.  I'm definitely looking for some bbq and/or soul food.  So far suggestions I've seen here are:

 

Macs Speed Shop

 

Midwood Smokehouse

 

Lupie's

 

Any one care to tell me more on which one I should choose and why?  Or have any other suggestions?

 

First, I must admit to you that I am white and have not eaten in Charlotte in about 7 years.

 

But there is a place off Morehead Drive--across from BOA stadium, a tiny hole-in-the wall that has the best soul food.  I think it is called the Cup.  A friend of mine took me there and it was outstanding.  Check the hours--could be a lunch only place.

Sadly, the Coffee Cup was destroyed about 3-4 years ago.

A few tips:

Since Maine is above the Mason-Dixon Line--practically Canada--you might need to convert your currency.

Don't visit the NASCAR museum. A simple drive through Kannapolis on Saturday night will suffice.

The tea is sweet here without having to ask for it.

The Klan no longer goes after all ethnics, non-protestants, and northerners. They quit that stuff a while back. I think it was October. Still, to be safe, especially if you happen to be a Black/Hispanic Yankee Catholic/Jew, wear your Panther gear and say "Y'all" when ordering your tea.

He's in Charlotte, not Gastonia. You don't have to say y'all when talking to New Yorkers.

Midwood has better BBQ than Macs. Midwood has a pretty good beer selection but Macs is much more extensive.  (IMHO)

I envy you guys at times. I've yet to attend a game in Charlotte. As a South Floridian, they'll always be an issue.

 

The past week I've spent my time in Tokyo, Japan with my employer but as much as I love kickboxing I wanted to be there North Carolina cheering for my team to slaughter The Taints. 

 

You have plenty of time. Just work hard and save up.

If you are looking for somewhere to eat downtown, try The Kings Kitchen on Trade street.

Great home cooked food and the profit from the restaurant all goes to charity and the homeless. The guy who runs it also employs mostly the homeless and struggling people. It is a fantastic cause.

The food is excellent and the service is fantastic....those working there are so appreciative of the opportunity they are being offered.

We eat there all the time before Bobcat games. Dinner usually costs me about $15...and I usually give a $50 tip to my server. I know they appreciate and really need it.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
