News, notes, and gossip about the restaurant scene
More at Mez: Mez (210 E. Trade St., 704-971-2401) may be best known as the place that makes the tasty snacks to enjoy in EpiCentre’s movie theaters, but now the chic restaurant is offering a chef’s table with seating for fourteen and a view of the kitchen maestros at work. Chef Anoosh Shariat serves five tapas-style courses, starting at $50.
Music Munchies: The NC Music Factory has added another restaurant and lounge to its growing repertoire. Bask on Seaboard (1000 Seaboard St., 980-613-8282) offers a seasonally changing menu sectioned into small, medium, and large plates, as well as a sixty-bottle wine list, forty-item cocktail list, and local beers on tap.
Freshly Baked: An Elizabeth neighborhood bakery, Sunflour Baking Company (2001 E. Seventh St., 704-900-5286), recently opened offering breakfast food like muffins, simple lunch sandwiches, and, of course, plenty of sweet pastries—most from locally sourced products.
