“Back in Bosnia, there’s a cevapi place on every corner,” says Dino Mehic, proprietor of the new Euro Grill & Café on Central Avenue in east Charlotte. “It’s the traditional, No. 1 Bosnian food.”
If you wait all year for Charlotte’s annual Greek Festival in early September, right now you are likely saying “Where can I get a taste of that pastry before next fall?”
José Rodriguez’s bright white chef’s coat, proudly embroidered with his name, is the first clue that the deli inside the Galaxy Foods supermarket on Arrowood Road is something special. El Rinconcito – “the little corner” in Spanish – is a place to discover carefully prepared dishes from Honduras.
As today’s New South draws newcomers from around the world, food traditions are meeting and mingling. Just take a look at the little bakery selling Oriental steamed buns at Charlotte’s Super G Mart.
