Caro-Mi Dining Room
Location
On the porch of the Caro-Mi just outside Tryon, you can wait for a wonderful meal listening to the rushing sounds of the Pacolet River as it flows by. Charles Stafford, a former teacher and school administrator, has owned Caro-Mi for 18 years. He is proud that two of North Carolina’s leading food experts taut his restaurant—for different reasons Jim Early, author of “The Best Tar Heel Barbecue: Manteo to Murphy,” raves about the skillet fried chicken livers and mountain trout, along with the vinegar based shredded Cole slaw. Bob Garner, of UNC-TV and Our State Magazine fame, recommends especially the old fashioned, North Carolina, “climate cured” country ham served here.
