Women-Owned Restaurants<div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Women's History Month! To celebrate this year I'm going to be eating at as many women-owned restaurants as I can around the Queen City. While the world is improving these women are still against the odds as women and as small business owners, so go out and support! Let me know your Charlotte favorites. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjovcQeVQ_Mbc8atxZPkv-KS05h8Z45yGAJfSiBlycNv2lc5bIceBxTwvYuXe3UjhNF4fxLIrM5yh5l3g2L9ABMcp0OwcmVUMysYlzX-O6P3gSBPf75l6lgLKp0faeCDvXMbq5rwE-RywQbXp0IywZFYiOLBgxucLiu0cpw0O9W7mTgSmtJNXrB30xQiQ/w640-h640/Copy%20of%20women-owned%20restaurants%20in%20the%20denver%20area.png" width="640" /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.1501southmintclt.com/" target="_blank">1501 South Mint</a><br /><a href="https://www.22streetkitchen.com/" target="_blank">22 Street Kitchen</a><br /><a href="https://www.300east.net/" target="_blank">300 East</a><br /><a href="https://abugidacafe.com/" target="_blank">Abugida Ethiopian Cafe & Restaurant</a><br /><a href="https://www.aceofspudstruck.com/welcome" target="_blank">Ace of Spuds</a><br /><a href="https://africankitchenandbar.com/" target="_blank">African Kitchen Restaurant & Bar</a><br /><a href="https://www.anntonys.com/" target="_blank">Anntony's Caribbean Cafe</a><br /><a href="https://www.archiveclt.com/" target="_blank">Archive CLT</a><br /><a href="https://www.ariacharlotte.com/" target="_blank">Aria Tuscan Grill</a><br /><a href="https://www.theartisanpalate.com/" target="_blank">Artisan’s Palate</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/BaleadaBarandGrill/" target="_blank">Baleada Bar & Grill</a><br /><a href="https://thebatchmaker.com/" target="_blank">Batch House</a><br /><a href="https://www.bittyandbeauscoffee.com/" target="_blank">Bitty and Beau's</a><br /><a href="https://bleubarnnc.com/" target="_blank">Bleu Barn NC</a><br /><a href="https://www.brownbagseafood.com/" target="_blank">Brown Bag Seafood Co.</a><br /><a href="https://www.bulgogibox.com/" target="_blank">Bulgogi Box</a><br /><a href="https://www.buttermilkskypie.com/" target="_blank">Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083025017717" target="_blank">Buzz City Bar & Grill</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063541214553" target="_blank">Carolina Family Restaurant</a><br /><a href="https://charbar7.com/" target="_blank">Charbar No. 7</a><br /><a href="https://www.cheatscheesesteaks.com/" target="_blank">Cheat's Cheesesteak Parlor</a><br /><a href="https://chefalyssaskitchen.com/" target="_blank">Chef Alyssa’s Kitchen</a><br /><a href="https://craftgrowlershop.com/" target="_blank">Craft Tasting Room</a><br /><a href="https://www.cravedessertbar.com/" target="_blank">Crave Dessert Bar</a><br /><a href="https://davidsonwinecompany.com/" target="_blank">Davidson Wine Co.</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dayandnight.nc/?hl=en" target="_blank">Day & Night Exotic Cereal Bar</a><br /><a href="https://www.deejaithai.com/" target="_blank">Deejai Thai Restaurant</a><br /><a href="https://delistclt.com/" target="_blank">Deli St. Charlotte</a><br /><a href="https://www.desiaddausa.com/" target="_blank">Desi ADDA</a><br /><a href="https://www.edstavern.com/" target="_blank">Ed's Tavern</a><br /><a href="https://elpurocubanrestaurant.com/" target="_blank">El Puro Cuban Restaurant</a><br /><a href="https://www.emmysquaredpizza.com/location/plaza-midwood/" target="_blank">Emmy Square Pizza</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/enatcharlotte/" target="_blank">Enat Ethiopian Restaurant</a><br /><a href="https://www.everestbistro.com/" target="_blank">Everest Bistro</a><br /><a href="https://www.fatcatclt.com/" target="_blank">Fat Cat Burgers + Bakeshop</a><br /><a href="https://www.fernflavors.com/" target="_blank">Fern, Flavors from the Garden</a><br /><a href="https://www.forty8hundredlounge.com/" target="_blank">Forty 8 Hundred Caribbean</a><br /><a href="https://www.toasttab.com/philly-food-stall-2200-thrift-rd/v3" target="_blank">From Philly to Charlit</a><br /><a href="https://www.genods.com/" target="_blank">Geno D's Pizza</a><br /><a href="https://www.goldencowcreamery.com/" target="_blank">Golden Cow Creamery</a><br /><a href="https://growlerspourhouse.com/" target="_blank">Growlers Pourhouse</a><br /><a href="https://haberdish.com/" target="_blank">Haberdish</a><br /><a href="https://www.hellosailornc.com/" target="_blank">Hello, Sailor</a><br /><a href="https://www.doordash.com/store/hot-plate-eatery-charlotte-23329695/" target="_blank">Hot Plate Eatery</a><br /><a href="https://www.grubhub.com/restaurant/irie-nation-restaurant-and-catering-2729-n-tryon-st-charlotte/2100012" target="_blank">Irie Nation Restaurant & Bar</a><br /><a href="https://www.itspoppingourmetkettlekorn.com/" target="_blank">It's Poppin!

the evening before the "love" holiday). For years I've hated it but this year, the TikTok girlies got me into the aesthetically pleasing heart world, so I threw a Pink Heart Bash. It was so fun to decorate for and it genuienly brought me so much joy, so it was worth it! I've included links to everything I can find that I purchased so you can throw your very own. Maybe use it for inspo for your next Galentine's Day party, or just a way to celebrate someone you love — a heart bash does not need to take place in February! <br /><h4>The Decor</h4><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHeb2vIHe7DB5EisCZzcIHGxSMK4CKts0Mexytr7UXayUa4R9h9FOEYKzJkPDABzwJM2dZvM-rj3zkc1E-jM-k0nlGc4YP-Ei6Gms7z6iGN2R_LIxFLi9MEdDbDlJ58_IAFzn2QiYrAtYffCvvIJhXEWeQl9KrhzBMb0JlZmoM7zGfJpAsOGFqSXN6Fw/w480-h640/5A56F8FF-830E-4FF7-ABC9-F21019725B1D.jpg" width="480" /><br /><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bTcQf">Pink Tinsel Curtain</a>, <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bQtoC">Silver Tinsel Curtain</a>, <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bTcQY">Pink Heart Balloons</a>, White Painter's Tape<br /><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmNmvz79ucUbRrAm4brhRgI1PnKcGrLJSGTBAmINc2wXO7fl-RiWYBMXcq6hfs13rOPTurlUKx47VmHmxUCMDY5bYaaAfQhBA1NU5OYorx91njbNOBiOc6cLd1t-gyYgPF68AxrMWSj3vO8UFYtapPWMGgGe4-nP5nB9kb8eRWRcYC-taZs_sU-lQjqQ/w480-h640/IMG_1940.jpeg" width="480" /><br /><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bTcRq">Light Pink Balloons</a><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzLTHkHxkiPgBAtey6QNyGsnA8yWCshDW0zrDtNuFepSFWCMY987S2UFD3TmzdUsOxIdWKK7cnIHRwSWOhiQf4jbT4L1vBqfggUo4-epg0b__N_6E8qxVcT73ULt1jRURVzPbPrD680VtcH5qaKaCJAx1OgkPSuFX10MSaTs8hNfjSrpKvYG2Gmm43ng/w480-h640/20E9882B-B770-4A8D-B7A6-44AF001131B2.jpg" width="480" /><br />Love sign (Target dollar section), <a href="https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m99810376092/" target="_blank">Ceramic Cake</a>, Trader Joe's flowers<br /><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXVBHm6zgQmEpaUGq-4E_D_EQa0x3KKJWMae5lFVjPA4mjnbHZbZ5XIVgi24xgWvtOPBfMZ_jofEo7feh7Tp9oGmLL9bogeDLzNvKQDyERkFgHm2Kd5_ioYqZEeuCGU1PN-TllXkaClmeDDdp6PElaKX7ZUn1L_D-jbhE3pqS0nTo4E4oH0Ta2Ja3M_Q/w480-h640/F4DD355E-DBF0-41C2-A929-0F79FFFBB933.jpg" width="480" /><br /><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bTcRm">Cardstock</a> Hearts (homemade), <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bTcR3">Light Pink Streamers</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

If you've been a follower of Haute Table for a long time you know I don't make weight-loss or anything like that for my resolutions. I like them to be open ended and fairly fun. So, here they are, let me know what you're going to do this year! <br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;">New-ish platforms.</h2><p style="text-align: center;">TikTok has been my favorite thing on earth since 2019 but I'm worried about it so this year I want to take my TikTok content and put it elsewhere, but that is a hard task. Just finding the time to run three personal accounts on top of my full-time job is a lot so, it'll take a while but I think it's worth it. I also have some personal goals for success on the platform itself, but don't want to share those because I'm afraid if I put it out there it won't happen. <br /><i>So here's to grown and embracing new platforms.</i><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Financial.</h2><p style="text-align: center;">I want to get my finances in order because if I'm honest I just...don't understand how it all works. I live a privileged life where I make enough money to be comfortable but I one day want to buy a home and need to figure out how to invest. Also under this category is better understanding my health insurance because...don't get it either! <br /><i>So here's to better understanding our personal business.</i><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Explore.</h2><p style="text-align: center;">Since I moved to Charlotte I have traveled more than ever...maybe that's not true but it felt like I never spent more than three weeks in my apartment and then it was a catch-up moment. So, I want to get out there and explore the town more so I feel like it's my home. I want to try new restaurants, go for more walks around neighborhoods and make new friends.<br /><i>So here's to exploring my new home.</i><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">One Final Thought...</h2><p style="text-align: center;">My 61 in 1001 will be starting again this year — I'm thinking around my 27th birthday. Mainly I'm just trying to think up things for the list so we'll see when I get it published. That will help (or hurt LOL) some of my resolutions I think. <br /></p><h4 style="text-align: center;">Want more?</h4><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.hautetableblog.com/2022/12/resolutions-in-review.html" target="_blank">Check out my 2022 resolutions in review >></a><br /><a href="http://www.hautetableblog.com/2022/12/2022-year-in-review.html" target="_blank">Check out my 2022 in review >></a><br /></p>hautetablehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14388463729000065521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211800058736002984.post-26203674393303071732022-12-30T05:00:00.002-05:002022-12-30T05:00:00.217-05:00Happy 2023. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRLo1rbg153uNvRUFzwq-3QefB1j-ag21zMMHjjoxK5kiSVgFy9m5ZP8MJYrb5jt_J8TztDPkWZV8z0-FZaS41EPMghua4pGOmDh1kqBlepuuCAIgw1oMzMF19J7iHMyewVFYr6NX3kfKoFpJ-aM7VaB11VXmyCdmtFcrfDaZehIyVgZq3ffJN7EPI2A/w480-h640/IMG_9414.jpeg" width="480" /><br /><i>Happy new year y'all!

I decided to move across the country knowing no one (yet again). Changed jobs at my company for something that truly scared me and you know what? Past me was right, it's terrifying to join a new field. I started another TikTok account (two clearly wasn't enough) and I've been struggling to deal with the consequences of moving. Don't get me wrong it has been lovely and I'm fairly obsessed with Charlotte, but it has come with its challenges. Overall I love 2022 for its faults and phenomenal moments and I'm so glad y'all were along for the ride. See you in 2023!<br /><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800"

width="640" /><br /></p><p>It's strange. This year felt a lot like 2020 did, for me. You see, I set my resolutions in 2020 and then 2.5 months later everything changed. And a similar thing happened to me this year. <br /><br />I typically spend an extended time at home in Florida during the holidays — often not coming back until at least the third week in January. I did the same this year and when my roommate picked me up from the airport she shared that she was going to buy a condo this year and move out. I felt the bottom of my stomach drop out because I had lived with her for four years. I loved her as a roommate and the idea of having to move somewhere in Denver without her or just moving in Denver (a city which I liked but never looooved) was daunting. <br /><br />So I sat on it for a bit. And then my birthday party happened...or should I say my first birthday party happened. And we had an epic snow storm...as is usual in Colorado in February. But I put a ton of effort into my <a href="http://www.hautetableblog.com/2022/03/mamma-mia-party.html" target="_blank">Mamma Mia bash</a> and people had to cancel because of the snow (as they should have, I'm not mad at my friends, I was mad at the weather). And then I found out some other very upsetting news and I had a full on breakdown. It wasn't pretty. There were so many tears...over a lot of different things. I haven't really talked about it now that I'm typing this out...I don't think I really told anyone how disturbed I was by everything that was happening at the time. I don't think I actually grieved it all properly (not the birthday, the other thing). It was a rough night. <br /><br />Fast forward to the day after that menty b and I made up my mind, I was moving to Charlotte. I rescheduled the birthday party, told my parents & roommate and we were a go. Then came the part of asking my then boss if I could work remotely permanently, something I was super stressed about but she agreed to easily. It was all going so great. <br /><br />Then May/June happened in which a SVP at my company approached me to take on a new role at our company. It was scary but I pretty readily agreed even though the transition would take place only a month before my move across the country. <br /><br />And now you're probably thinking, isn't this what goes into your "<a href="http://www.hautetableblog.com/2021/12/2021-year-in-review.html" target="_blank">Year in Review</a>?" And normally, yes. But, I wanted to give y'all the backstory to why my resolutions tanked in May 2022. I got so stressed with the moving and the new job and the sadness of moving away from all my friends and the depression of giving up pretty intense success from TikTok and some other stuff that kind of ruined the year in some ways but made the year extremely memorable in others. So, let's review these resolutions! <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Blog.<br /></h2><p><br />It was my goal to get Haute Table back to looking normal — those triangle error message photo boxes are super annoying. And some of it happened, I try to fix a few a week, but mainly just getting a normal blog post out was difficult this year. I will continue to work on it though. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Brew.<br /></h2><p>I definitely have gone to more breweries this year than last year! Is it because I've been with my parents more this year? Probably. But I am trying to seek out breweries in Charlotte with some of my new friends so this is ongoing. <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Cook. </h2><p style="text-align: center;">OMG this was going so well. And then everything else happened in my life. I even started a series "<a href="http://www.hautetableblog.com/2022/03/everything-i-cooked-in-february.html" target="_blank">Everything I Cooked In ___</a>."

They had three sizes and it was too good to pass up. I can't find the exact versions, but <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bQtoE">these</a> are close enough. I already had two <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bQtpD">disco balls</a> but I wanted to get nutcrackers covered in mirror tiles...turns out that doesn't really exist so I decided to make my own! You just need <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bQtnK">mirror tiles</a> with adhesive and it's not a hard job. I also got this <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bQtpS">grey tree collar</a> and I love the look.

My family has always vacationed in the Boone-Blowing Rock-Linville area and seeing those tree farms over Thanksgiving weekend has always made me envious. But living in South Florida, there was no way a tree would make it atop of our car. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, I decided to bide my time! And now that I live in Charlotte, it was time. My dad was also envious because he grew up the same way, so he came along too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We drove the 2 hours up to <a href="https://www.linvillefallswinery.com/" target="_blank">Linville Falls Winery</a> where they have <a href="https://www.linvillefallswinery.com/red-barn-tree-farm-holding-page" target="_blank">Red Barn Free Farm</a>. Located right next door to the winery the barn has some photo opportunities and cute decor available for purchase. Grab a steaming cup of hot cider (or hot cocoa) and take a ride up to the ridge to choose your tree. <br /><br />Once up there you get to choose based on the color, red = $50, yellow = $65, blue = $80, white = $100, green = $140 and of course this is determined by height. They will give you a tall pole and when you find the tree you want you wave it up in the air, they come around, chainsaw it down and tie it to the truck to drive it back down. They'll tie it up and tie it to your car as well. <br /><br />I went with a yellow tag so the price, with taxes, was about $69. For the experience I think this is worth it, back home in a Lowes' parking lot it would have cost this, if not more. Plus, the family that runs the farm are so incredibly nice. I highly recommend Red Barn Tree Farm if you live in/near Charlotte and want the choose-and-cut experience, I will be back! <br /><br /><i>Red Barn Tree Farm is a seasonal business. They are closed for the 2022 season but will re-open around Thanksgiving 2023. They are open daily 10am–5pm.</i><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf0_evqZCb6H1sHhSLMdxhVrZfa7upZKc6mTt2v-1UMJm8x1Tj_sR-f_gYwj6RqOPLISQak3lS3OTofCKv_xLl80oCI47oIZOfwlBIOZ1sNJoYkWqTX6kMRDWjM-lKXprp8H9NYYc8Qm9bP8ug-JlQSFNkd1mtMfihe7IMFcUpcRJe09mQrQnmZnTLog/w480-h640/13B05F24-59CC-44BD-AE6C-7F5CD889228B.jpg" width="480" /><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_fYRMRSccMED8DWsTapRT7HvnSnYjWUOHCuhlv6ZSF3IH3SnnzTsBDEChlfQpm6CybFQaB354K-ebgXhlCNK0YhHQcrQ2DIzHo3ho1JHiHM-r3a0jWWZBgdj3T7qfxM3olrAOFCo8Co798qcu54cRQW8L3eZC1A1ARvPqQcd9Nz1thndgobAir2fcwg/w480-h640/0E49C706-70F7-4F46-803F-E89C75A7366C.jpg" width="480" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpKbAxU7UNX4r7vl8BWAL-N3HgvZ4RXu6FAN8ktX2Y5SVwSskfSGZNEWFUXK___6zKd2k-YpGzR8G1cwbawKYn5XXkTYD8ZMNXxRaB-gJ8AsZCKD0jxk92lcdACI9_3pk1wUTbvL3JTkiezMJ2AOJJdKRFKcN_QfL_vdhs2JQGJ6SpEnnLdLVkIqjK2Q/w480-h640/1C9B75D3-A5CF-46B0-955B-03A7FAAF7FE0.jpg" width="480" /><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNqq6DGcQgJTR0DzrxED0VHZqGRgDLCUB8MPk0JHFZWs8aDvCPwQMHM1TQocE5ttEiKXFqA5qckfwu__w_D_djUOXcqKp8vePCaGCuDzbE3DoqzrdPECm-dDrIhLejm_Pi-pny8Y676ukd8hHhB0Wi5guNemUzPH7I0FmvCjPs9PiSjCC8ofUZXvMxPQ/w480-h640/FA271F77-6CE2-40EB-8424-ECDE2A2CB812.jpg" width="480" /><br /><i>Reward yourself with a post-tree beer at <a href="https://www.booneshine.beer/" target="_blank">Boonshine</a> just outside of downtown Boone. </i><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2zJEjUSHtWXylFSaw1OYOtVic3uLWTsFxjwvzJtGfT9e2iMQMmGdcUyGy_kn82ZfDWk7fDD8pb8OQPyMmjOy3wb9FGTtAR52318n-v7XTIKdwhgTS55F-nHdb8H_eznUuOCdUXLBa0aJtpkia9kexh66_nNeyWt7C9nUd9OnIxrh73wHaZ1z401fR6w/w480-h640/7EB0C8DB-1F99-4648-8EF2-9F9C6A632125.jpg" width="480" /><br /><h4>Want more?</h4><a href="http://www.hautetableblog.com/2022/11/50-dates-to-take-yourself-on-if-your.html" target="_blank">50 things to do in Charlotte >></a><br /><a href="http://www.hautetableblog.com/2022/09/day-trip-from-charlotte-north-carolina.html" target="_blank">Daytrip from Charlotte to Lawndale, NC >></a><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>hautetablehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14388463729000065521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9211800058736002984.post-80536746016795811832022-12-12T05:00:00.002-05:002022-12-12T05:00:00.215-05:00Monday Links<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj-8wX5kC-4U0HGAJqf1XQ8AzFJMvhMWu0o3kd3rPUstQbyYrkdZRkfNaYyMbhcRiZ9xkkCFccSBZNBH4ysUi6dQa_nw6RI4sIddkbyrJj0DGLnHyETys5LmBx6gX8S9ecbmZ-FpccJHFkJQzv9laKpJSOFMR-tJu4C3gXMqnHYeaIYDyPtQbdk096Rg/w480-h640/192895EE-C595-4812-87AE-6EB5E738AB9B.jpg" width="480" /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It has been such a long time since I did a Monday Links post so strap in for a long one! <br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><br />What's happening in <a href="https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a41978283/whats-happening-in-iran/" target="_blank">Iran</a> right now.<br /><br />The <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/best-museums-in-the-us-6826638" target="_blank">27 best museums</a> in the US — I love The Getty, Denver Botanic Gardens and the National WWII Museum.<br /></div></div><p><a href="https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/caramel-snickerdoodle-pie/" target="_blank">Snickerdoodle pie</a>?
