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.

Old-Time Buttermilk Pie

Reviewed on Sep. 6, 2008 by COURTNEY77700

This pie had a really good flavor it was sweet. I love sweet but this was really sweet. I will make this again as I always have buttermilk in the house. One thing I will try due to the age of this recipe. Sugar is very different now than it was in the 1800s early 1900s. Bought from the Caribbean or Africa it is more the natural sugar you can buy in health food stores or in ethnic speciality stores. I will lower the sugar down to around 1 cup or I may try this 1.5 cups natural sugar.

Pumpkin Layer Cheesecake

Reviewed on Sep. 6, 2008 by COURTNEY77700

Wow husband loved and then gave me a look and ask what I wanted to change and I couldn't find anything.... Crust...I didn't have an graham cracker so I used a pie crust and it was still wonderful. I plan to make this Thanksgiving. I am going to try Gingersnaps before then as others suggested.
