North Carolina Repurposed Church Restaurant In Southern Living Article
Charlotte is full of wonderful restaurants. And, I especially love seeing unusual spots pop up. They might be different in the type of food they serve or, in this case, the structure that houses them. And, that is the case with Plaza Midwood’s “Supperland.” This unique eatery just gained national attention for that very reason. The North Carolina repurposed church restaurant appeared in a Southern Living Magazine. According to WSOC TV, the feature was about “10 Heavenly Repurposed Churches Across The South.” Supperland is a venture from the Tonidandel-Brown Restaurant Group that opened in Charlotte in 2021. And, this isn’t the first time the national spotlight landed on Supperland. Esquire and Bon Appetit recognized the spot as a “Best New Restaurant” last year.
The restaurant resides in a restored mid-century church on a corner in Plaza Midwood. There is a long and storied history of the North Carolina repurposed church restaurant on their website. But, as for the menu, they describe it as “southern steakhouse meets church potluck.” Supperland has a 14 foot fire grill and cook over oak and hickory. It sounds delicious. They landed at number 7 on the Southern Living Magazine list. And, they weren’t the only repurposed church restaurant to make the list close by. Church & Union in Charleston landed at number 10. Of course, they also have a Charlotte location. But, the Charleston spot is one I visited last year. And, it is gorgeous with stained glass windows hearkening back to its church roots. They’re located on historic Market Street in Charleston. I highly recommend visiting the next time you’re in Charleston.
