[The M.I.C.]

I part own a seafood distributor that serves NC and SC, the stress on the supply chain is very, very real. I do business with HT and they’ve been having an extremely hard time with shipments arriving in timely fashion so I’m not surprised by this. I am surprised by Bojangles though…the reasoning is bullshyt however, they’re having just as much of a problem like Popeyes in keeping fresh chicken supplied to all of their stores.

Harris Teeter stores closing at 9 beginning tonight :: WRAL.com

Bojangles closing all corporate-owned eateries for 2 days; workers won't be paid

Black bloggers are an established presence in Charlotte, and not only are they putting the city on to the most delicious (and often cost-friendly) eats around town, they’re also doing it in the spirit of community.

Oftentimes, Charlotte’s Black foodies are breaking the mold by featuring places that would normally fly under the radar — ones described as “hole-in-the-wall” or “low-key” restaurants.

Whether it’s a post telling followers about a female black-owned quesabirria restaurant operating out of a ghost kitchen or a Black-owned food truck dedicated to cheesesteaks, many Black food bloggers in Charlotte are putting a spotlight on the places that are worthy of a visit.

See the roundup below for more Black food bloggers you should follow:

“Alright so boom,” as thefooddude starts off each of his posts, this food blogger is the one to follow for close-ups of scrumptious dishes all around Charlotte. Think “mouth-watering” when it comes to his shots. Per his Instagram, he’s no influencer – “just the plug to the food spots.” He features a spectrum of restaurants ranging from fancy to hole-in-thewall. Whether it’s about the food, or the drinks, he’s here for an overall good vibe.

“I started thefoodudeclt just to post the places I was going to eat and drink in the city. I tried to be an influencer and post what I thought people would like, but I quickly learned that people love when you are just being yourself. That is my No. 1 lesson learned, just be yourself,” Jones said.

Now, not only do readers get access to daily specials, but they get hole-in-the-wall restaurant recommendations from the self-proclaimed “diet killer” himself.
