Behind the line with @matt_moore704: our CDC, resident 🐐, and recent @ncrlachefshowdown competitor. Selected alongside the state’s top culinary talent reflects the passion Matt brings to our kitchen.

He’ll tell you to get the Berkshire pork chop without hesitation, because it’s “comforting, smoky, tender, intentional.”

This chop showcases how our team cooks: “sourcing exceptional ingredients, treating them with respect, and letting the quality speak for itself,” says Matt.

@diplomaticorum Speed Daiquiri contest with @usbg_clt. @austindain came out of retirement to set the fill line. @thelifeofslick dropped a 20 second time on the group and came away with a sick jacket and trophy. @runawayclt is a vibe of a location, the DJ ripped & homies came together to support each other!

An espresso martini is a timeless classic, and we love our take.

Secretly Stern - one of the top three cocktails in the city (per @axioscharlotte )

In the heart of our house, you’ll find our sous, @chxfdeli. Christian brings creativity and heartfelt comfort into every plate we serve.

The canestri verde, in his words, is “nostalgic, simplistic, delicious, and unique. It feels like home on a plate. Every bite makes you feel like you’re at abuela’s house,” he shared.

What makes a Customshop experience memorable for you?

A great food scene isn’t built by a single restaurant or a single chef. It takes a whole community. That means the local spots that came before us, the crews cooking alongside us today, and the new places popping up next.

A big thank you to @the_adventurist_magazine for including both @customshopclt and @emmylousclt in their latest feature among other great local talent. We’re just grateful to do what we love in this city every day.

@dozoclt isn’t Japanese food. It isn’t American food. It’s local veggies. Line caught fish from the coast. Prime cuts. It’s a reflection of our food systems in the south mixed with specialty ingredients and techniques that blend Asian style cooking. It’s intentional cocktails, sake and beer offerings. It’s respect to heritage while pushing what define the often rigid styles of cooking. It’s building trust in familiarity as a gateway to introduce you to your favorite new dish. It’s a FOH team who’s excited for you to be there and to share their favorite items with you. Lunch and dinner vary greatly so pop in for a phenomenal value during lunch or treat yourself to your next dinner.

@allpurposebar been rolling for a couple weeks now. I’ve shot a bunch of menu drinks in a range of styles as we figured out the vibe in the space. Here’s some bonus shots from their party the other night with @fordsgin - Pizza & Negroni. A couple of standouts on their regular menu.
Adzuki is a bean - Rye / Adzuki / Strawberry / Yuzu. Adzuki is an East Asian bean that’s naturally sweet and slightly nutty but balances out the rye and fruits.
Everything Everywhere - Scallion Cream Cheese Milk Punch / Everything Bagel Vermouth /
Cream Cheese Olives ft @metzgersclt.
Industry Plant - Jamaican Rum / Coffee / Cardamom / Guava / Goat Cheese. For the one who needs a better espresso martini.
