10 Charlotte Comfort Food Restaurants - Eater Carolinas

"The first crunch of the golden brown scallion pancake is often enough to convert one from seeking a traditional pancake fix to a super-savory Sichuan one. Followed by the soft, pillowy pork belly dumplings and piping hot spicy beef noodles, no visit to The Dumpling Lady is complete without a symphony of textures and colors. It might not be filed (yet) under old-fashioned Carolina comfort food, but the throng of dedicated diners who make their way each day to the Optimist Hall stall speaks volumes on the genre’s transformation. Here, it’s sensory comfort that reigns supreme. From the soothing slide of the chopsticks out of the crimson sleeve and the irresistible, euphonic slurp of hot noodles from bowl to belly, this level of satisfaction is translated best, regardless of age, with a dab of a napkin and a spirited smile." - Sara Akhavan
