I'm not gonna lie, most food news gets me pretty excited, but this news sent me over the edge with excitement!

Charlotte's food scene is continuing to develop, and it looks like soon we will have a new fast-casual, Nashville Hot Chicken style restaurant to enjoy. Dave's Hot Chicken has plans to open 12, yes 12, locations in the Charlotte area in the next five years. The chain is based in LA but has locations in other big cities like Dallas, Denver, and Toronto.

The owners of the Charlotte locations are hoping to open locations in South End, Ballantyne, South Charlotte, University, and Plaza Midwood, but are still looking to secure leases.

For now, we can just gaze at Dave's Hot Chicken's menu and Instagram, but I'm warning you, once you do, you're going to want it THAT much more.

Hi, I'm Cameron! I was born and raised in North Carolina. I'm a super tall redhead who is always down for tacos, enchiladas, and margaritas. Okay, so Mexican food is my personal favorite, but I’m not saying no if you’re trying to eat out on the town anywhere. I I am on air for middays but also the Program Director for Kiss 95.1. I enjoy connecting with Kiss 95.1’s amazing listeners and being able to bring all of my favorite things like food, wine, and life online into digital content.
