SANTA BARBARA D'OESTE, BRAZIL - APRIL 24: Worker prepares to serve U.S.-style biscuits at the annual Festa Confederada, or Confederate Party, on April 24, 2016 in Santa Barbara d'Oeste, Brazil. The festival is put on by Brazilian descendants of families who fled from the southern United States to Brazil during Reconstruction, between 1865 and 1875, following the end of the U.S. Civil War. Thousands attend the festival which is held at the American Cemetery, or Cemiterio dos Americanos, where graves of settlers and descendants remain to this day. The festival features traditional Southern-style dancing, music and cuisine. The U.S. settlers eventually assimilated with local Brazilians and some now are racially mixed while many others no longer speak English. Organizers say the festival represents familial tradition, ancestral heritage and happiness and is not associated with the negative connotations of the Confederacy. The flag carries no stigma or political meaning in Brazil. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
Vonyetta’s Favorite Things consists of many different things around Charlotte, but I can’t lie, a lot includes food because I’m a foodie. I love all types of food and you’ll see them here for sure.
I remember seeing Callie’s Little Biscuits off W. Tremont and saying that I just had to try them. I first saw them in Charleston in the market. Every time I went, the line was crazy and that told me everything that I needed to know. I needed these biscuits in my life.
Now Callie’s is in Charleston, Atlanta, and Charlotte. This weekend they are celebrating their first birthday with a free biscuit this weekend. Saturday and Sunday to be exact. Keep in mind, all of this could be subject to change, so do me a favor and get on over there to check them out.
