Date Night @ Kindred

The food scene in Charlotte, NC, has changed drastically over the last ten years. As one of the country’s fastest-growing and most livable cities, we’ve attracted top talent from New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and other big cities.

In the case of Kindred, a top restaurant not only in the area but named one of the top in the country by several magazines, Lake Norman welcomed a native home after working all over the world, from San Francisco to Chicago to the vineyards in Tuscany, and back to Davidson, NC. The result is one of the best restaurants around, and they never disappoint. Joe and Kathy Kindred have several restaurants in the area, all quite amazing in their own right, but Kindred is genuinely one of a kind.

Below are some of the dishes Brooke and I shared recently on date night. They also have fantastic hand-crafted cocktails that you’ll see in the photos. And not enough can be said about their famous Milkbread.
