CLT hearts food. Here are 45 gorgeous photos tagged with #cltfood

After checking out Katie’s #CLTagenda story, I thought I’d take a closer look at a favorite hashtag of mine: #CLTfood. Did y’all know this hashtag has been used over 32,000 times? That’s great news for our culinary scene and even better news for me because now I know what to eat everywhere I go.

In honor of your dedication to photographing the glorious dishes of the Queen City, here are 45 tasty posts that mention #CLTfood. Your next dinner order just got a little easier.

The day after Thanksgiving is for indulging too, no? This has been a longtime favorite on our menu. Doesn’t get old!
