Acclaimed restaurateur Sam Fox’s ‘edgy’ concept coming to South End

CHARLOTTE — Culinary Dropout’s first Charlotte restaurant will begin dishing up its twist on classic meals — with attitude — in early 2023.

Fox Restaurant Concepts has signed a deal to bring that 13,312-square-foot establishment to Vantage South End at 1120 S. Tryon St. It will be near sister restaurants North Italia, which opened in 2019, and Flower Child.

That $300 million, 635,000-square-foot project includes two 11-story office towers, 55,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and a 1-acre courtyard that seats 1,000-plus and drives synergy between the concepts.

“Culinary Dropout is just a fun place to be. It’s for families, date night or after-work food and drinks,” says Sam Fox, founder. “We are thrilled to serve this Charlotte community with killer hospitality, great food and memorable drinks.”

Culinary Dropout creates an atmosphere that is built around edgy food, live music, yard games and cocktails.
