Will COVID-19 decimate Charlotte’s food scene or strengthen it?

There’s no denying it: 2019 was an incredible time for the Charlotte restaurant scene.

Patrick Whalen is one of the co-owners of the popular Uptown restaurant 5Church Charlotte, hitting “record numbers” in 2019.

Adam Williams, who works to pair developers with open sites to build new restaurants, said 2019 was “gangbusters” for restauranteurs in the Queen City.

“It was unbelievable,” Williams recalled. “I’d never been busier.”
