"Cotton & Rye is a contemporary American restaurant in a former bank—you can still see the door to the safe. Located in an up-and-coming neighborhood, it was one of the first dining establishments to open outside the tony historical district. The restaurant bakes its own bread, grinds its own meat, and sets wine pairings to all of it—the whole menu elevates Southern classics in new ways. If you want to see that elevation in action, make sure to order the stuffed Carolina trout." - Barbara Skidmore
