Uptown Charlotte is bulging with national corporate & celebrity restaurants. Yeah yeah…you can eat at any of them in most cities across the country. However, have you ever really gotten to know what they are all about? Did you ever know their specialty may not be what you think? Do you get to go into the kitchen and have the chef give you a cooking demonstration?

The inns also hosted events and meetings and I quickly found myself on the path of booking and planning weddings, corporate meetings, and other special events. After 5.5 years, I moved to one of the newest upscale hotels in Charlotte where I continued event planning for 9+ more years. Working for a hotel also helped satisfy my travel bug!
