Casual Eats
Once a regular lunch stop during my early career, the Old Brick Store in Charlotte has been beautifully reimagined under new ownership. With excellent sandwiches, carefully curated provisions, and some of my favorite chocolate chip cookies in Vermont, it's a must-stop along Ferry Road. My order? Tuna focaccia, maple-ade, and a brown-butter chocolate chip cookie.
