    I didn't think Dishoom was too touristy, maybe a little too hipster though. It's jam-packed at all locations, usually a 1 or 1.5 hour wait regardless of the time you go. The food was good.

        Not a vacation, but a business trip. I'll be in Charlotte next weekend. I love the much aligned vineagar based BBQ style there and was curious to see if anyone close by has recommendations. I'm told we are close to the Second Ward district.

          To get to the mecca of NC BBQ you would have to go 60 miles northeast, but I am guessing you don't want to do that.

          Charlotte doesn't really have anything to compare to Lexington, and Uptown doesn't really have any real good bbq places these days, but there are a couple of good options nearby.

          The one that tends to get the most buzz is Noble Smoke, a couple of miles northwest of downtown. The other is Midwood Smokehouse. It is a mile or two just outside of uptown to the east, so an easy Uber or drive (I wouldn't walk it, even if you are a walker). Midwood is my goto place, as there is a location near me and it is always solid, if not spectacular.

          If you want something within walking distance, you are probably out of luck for BBQ, but there are a lot of good restaurants uptown. I'd be happy to give a few suggestions if wanted.

          Also happy to get together if you have any time between your business!

                Oyster Bar at Palace Station in Las Vegas. Get the Pan Roast. I've been wanting to try the bouli-roast, but that would require me to not order a pan roast.

                    I believe he left there a few years ago, moved home to Nashville, and opened Audrey (named after his grandmother). We dined there last year and it doth not suck. A fun and very delicious experience.

                      Is there a Provo version of this thread? Looking for something for dinner tonight.

                        Jeeez, lazy.

                        Best thread.

                        Second best.

                        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
