10 Charlotte Comfort Food Restaurants | Eater Carolinas

"With menu highlights like “A Bunch of Bologna” and the “PB&J Bacon Plate”, it’s clear that NoDa neighborhood favorite Haberdish takes its comfort food quite seriously — or playfully, as the kitchen prefers. Starting with brined, battered and fried essentials, the fried chicken entrees range from crispy tenders (no age limit here) to a crispy whole fried bird. With eight signature sauces to drizzle on like habanero hot sauce, silky Alabama white sauce and honey butter maple syrup, the possibilities for pleasure are endless. The option to add a waffle to any fried chicken dish is the icing on the cake, or in Haberdish’s case, the traditional milk dip on the Southern sonker. That’s a subtle way of saying that here, dessert is non-negotiable and like most things, best cooked up in a cast iron skillet." - Sara Akhavan
