Happy Fri-yay and Cinco de Mayo and boy do we have a special treat for you today! One lucky Smarty will win breakfast on us at Charlotte’s newest breakfast spot, the Metro Diner!
As featured on the popular Food Network show “Diners, Drive-In’s, and Dives”, Metro Diner prides itself on quality ingredients and a scratch kitchen where they make their own sauces, soups and compotes. In addition, Metro Diner hand cuts their home fries and cracks fresh eggs daily.
