    Q&A: Mezzo Market, wagyu

    Each week, we answer reader questions about food and drink in Charlotte


    Q: When is Mezzo Market opening? It looks so close!

    Tom: Very very soon! Word has it they are doing a friends-and-family pre-opening this weekend. That typically means opening day will be shortly after that. Like you, we are excited to experience the new Plaza Midwood market and bar in the former Segan Food Mart space.


    Q:  Where can I buy some top-quality Japanese wagyu to cook at home?

    Japanese A5 wagyu can often be found in the Prime Fish Cellar case. TM Petaccia/UP

    Tom: Your best bet is Prime Fish Cellar in Cotswold. Chef Robin Anthony typically keeps some A5 wagyu in his coolers for sale to the public, along with other rare food items.
