What The Fries

These Black-Owned Businesses Are Shaking up Charlotte’s Food Scene

"After graduating from Johnson and Wales Charlotte, friends and chefs Jamie Barnes and Greg Williams launched the What The Fries food truck out of a former FedEx delivery truck in 2015. After years of long lines, in March the duo opened their first brick-and-mortar location where they hand cut each and every fry. Standouts include their hibachi shrimp fries (topped with bok choy, carrots, scallions, and homemade yum yum sauce) and over-the-top bread pudding tots, and the owners are hoping to expand with additional trucks and a second physical location in 2022."
