"As the temperature dips and seasonal chili cravings crank up, there’s one Charlotte landmark that answers the call. Lupie’s Cafe, where friendliness triumphs any modern frills, has dished up old-school comfort food for over 30 years. Regulars can spot its red rooster sign on Monroe Rd. from a mile away. Within its humble and timeless exterior, loyalists flock daily to fill up on mainstays like the chili mac (Texas style if you like it spicy, Cincinnati style if you’re into sweet) and massive nacho plates dripping with melty cheddar, beans and jalapenos. While the city transforms around this tiny cafe, its foundation, built on making everyone who walks in feel like family, stands effortlessly strong." - Sara Akhavan
