Anthony, a self-taught chef, is known for his Tokyo-style sushi and has quickly expanded his restaurant footprint across the city. It’s a proud moment for Charlotte’s food lovers and a big step for our local dining scene. What do you think—will Charlotte finally break its James Beard streak? #Food #CharlotteEats #JamesBeard
