OFFICIAL ROAST REPORT
We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Charlotte desperately wants to be Manhattan but can't shake its obsession with cars going in circles. This city built glass towers to house Bank of America's headquarters, then put the NASCAR Hall of Fame right downtown like they're equally prestigious cultural landmarks.
Named after British royalty but cursed with perpetually mediocre teams. The Panthers have made two Super Bowls and lost both spectacularly, while the Hornets are so forgettable they literally had to rebrand from the Bobcats just to remind people they exist.
Ninety percent of Charlotte residents are from somewhere else, desperately trying to create "authentic" culture in converted textile mills. They turned old factories into trendy food halls and call it heritage, while actual locals are outnumbered 874,998 to 2.
Charlotte sits in North Carolina claiming BBQ excellence while being equidistant from real Lexington-style and eastern vinegar-based traditions. The city's signature dish is basically whatever the latest James Beard nominee decides to serve at Optimist Hall that week.
