It's hotter than a barnyard here, ain't it?
That sounded so country for a California girl, I must be fitting in! Just joking, I stand out so much here. But, that's not a bad thing. Everyone assumes I LOVE Asian cuisine, but I actually love me some friend chicken. Is it too hot out for fried food? What's the best place here?check these. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g49022-c6-Charlotte_North_Carolina.html
YesssSssss, thank you for the recommendation
I like the small local places. Fried Chicken need to try Prices Chicken Coop off South Blvd. For good burgers Mr Ks in the same area on South Blvd.
Prices is among the best and really popular.
Prices sounds expensive. Get it 
One can never go wrong with a chicken joint called 'coop'.
Every so often I like a good burger, medium with blue cheese perhaps
Prices chicken is amazing. Also Chicken Box on north Tryon is good
With a username like yours, a good recommendation from a 'foodie'! THANKS, 'mon!
You're along way from home! (I had a Client, the Navy, in San Diego years ago - went there several times)
I moved here from "up north" years ago - I'll take the heat vs. F'ing snow all day long - I never hafta shovel the heat!
I don't do chicken at all, fried or otherwise. Have you had Southern barbecue?! - excellent IMHO
