Pass the Plates - Plates Neighborhood Kitchen Opens in Glenwood South

 

Stack 'Em: Not long ago, Zely & Ritz restaurant in Glenwood South went through a huge renovation   and then closed its doors. Sadly, downtown diners lost their "farm to market" restaurant that featured meat and produce from Coon Rock Farm. But, as one plate emptied, another arose in the form of Plates Neighborhood Kitchen.  Plates serves dishes that are globally inspired and locally produced. Owner Steve Day began his culinary career training at Le Cordon Bleu in London and worked at Le Bouchon Breton before returning the US (to work at the Umstead Hotel & Spa in Cary). Day has collaborated with Chef Sam Bradford (also from the Umstead) to produce a menu representative of Europe and Asia.  Plates seats 50 patrons and already the place is packed (code for make reservations).  Rack 'Em and Stack 'Em.

 

Show 'Em Who's the Sauce:  Plates' dinner menu offers a handful of entrees, priced between $13  and $16, as well as appetizers, desserts, and bar snacks. The idea is that folks can enjoy a three-course  meal for around $30. Plates also has a moderately-priced wine list, a bunch of local beers on tap, and a real bar (something absent from Zely & Ritz). The lunch menu is similar but also offers paninis and other sandwiches ($8). The Sunday brunch menu includes "bottomless mimosas".  So far there have been rave reviews of the Duck Spring Rolls, the House Gnocchi, and the Sticky Toffee Pudding.  Coming in a close second are the Five Spice Short Ribs and the Chocolate Chess PieMenus

The Beltline Buzz items are selected by our editors.  No one can pay to be featured on The Beltline Buzz..  That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such.  Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of  The Beltline Buzz.  Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way.  So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.

 

That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" e-mails on behalf of sponsors.  You'll recognize them from the subject line: "The Beltline Buzz Dedicated E-mail."  Yes, these are paid for.  And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone.  Not for any amount of money. 

 

We hope that you continue to enjoy your Beltline Buzz.  We look forward to delivering it.
