Charlotte, North Carolina

The largest city in North Carolina and the largest between Washington, DC, and Atlanta, Charlotte is a major banking and investment center with all the amenities of a big city but a down home feel in its historic areas and leafy residential neighborhoods. So it's no surprise that you can find any type of cuisine in Charlotte's restaurants including Indonesian chicken and shrimp, fish tacos, grilled tuna steak, creme brulee, and much more. But you needn't look far to find regional classics such as fabulous fried chicken, hush puppies, Brunswick stew, whole pig pit-cooked barbecue seasoned with vinegar-hot pepper sauce. Then cool down with a local cherry soda or sweet tea.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Reviewed on Jan. 6, 2009 by stac

This is soooo good. And it's very easy...even my husband can make it! I left him the recipe...and some VERY specific instructions....and he did it! I did cook the dumpling more like 90 minutes and subbed 1 can of cream of mushroom for cream of chicken.

Chocolate Eclair Dessert

Reviewed on Jan. 3, 2009 by BrownEyedEmily

I loved this recipe. I put everything into individual dishes, and I ended up icing the graham cracker before I put it on top of the last layer of pudding (otherwise it was difficult). I'd definitely make this again. :)

Sloppy Joes II

Reviewed on Dec. 29, 2008 by JulieN

We rarely have Sloppy Joes...that is until we found this recipe. We followed the recipe exactly. It has been such a hit with our family we'll be serving it up often.
