BEST LUNCH: Maddis Southern Bistro
Chef Jon DuBay punches up Southern cuisine, taking it, at times, from the ordinary to the sublime. Even simple compositions at lunch become flavorful. The added bonus in this quirky spot, an outgrowth of a wildly popular folk art gallery, is that you can shop while you eat.
16925 Birkdale Commons Parkway, Huntersville.
704-987-7762.
