Ode to a Cajun Filet Biscuit
The nation seems a bit obsessed with determining which chicken sandwich reigns supreme, Popeye’s or Chick-Fil-A? We emphatically endorse a third option … the regal culinary creation of the Queen City … Bojangles’ Cajun Filet biscuit. Matt Olin and Tim Miner have an — ahem! — extensive personal history with it. And, they’re not afraid to share passionate words about it and pictures of their past with it.

The Panthers 2019 season starts regular season play against the Rams this Sunday and, while we probably should be taking time to ask Cam about his shoulder or what it’s like to throw to his new receivers … Nah. We’d rather have his opinions on the Charlotte culinary scene. After all, touchdowns are important, but so is the steamed bun at Good Food on Montford Drive.
Erin Santos is the passionate president of the Isabella Santos Foundation (ISF), which was founded to honor the legacy of Erin’s daughter, Isabella, who passed away in 2012 at the age of 7 after a valiant fight against neuroblastoma. ISF is dedicated to improving rare pediatric cancer treatment options in an effort to increase survival rates of kids with cancer so they can live dreams.
Meeting Erin, you’re immediately struck by her strength … and sense of humor. Today, Erin shares four Charlotte Instagram accounts she loves. (Plus, you can learn about how you can make a difference by participating 12th annual 5K/10K For Kids Cancer run on Sept. 28.) Here are Erin’s picks, but you’ve got to click the button below to learn about why she loves them.
Labor Day 2019 has come and gone … and, sadly, so has another colorful year of Yard Art Day. Luckily, event organizer and amazing photographer, Deborah Triplett, has shared her photos with us so we can relive the incredible installations and dream about more Yard Art Day wonder ahead in 2020.
This week on The Biscuit Podcast, we go deep with three incredible Charlotte creatives. Andy Goh interviews YUNG Citizen about his passion to make music, make a difference in the Queen City and get kids offline. Plus, he drops our very first “Auditoral” — a rap about realities facing us in Charlotte. Nikki Eason lays down an inspiring “Mogul Moment” and Tim Miner interviews “Creative Besties” (and married couple) Tony & Becky Santoro of Enderly Coffee and Foster Village about their work in Charlotte and in their marriage.
The Queen City is a town of highly energetic and creative go-getters. That means there’s always something cool or thought-provoking to do. The hard part is deciding WHICH events to attend. Here are some of our faves taking place tomorrow and beyond:
