The Belk Bowl between Wake Forest and Texas A&M kicks off at 1:30 p.m. ET on Friday, December 29. It ranked No. 26 on Eric Single's Entertainment Bowl Rankings. He wrote: "Greg Dortch's absence won't stop Demon Deacons QB John Wolford from chucking it around the yard in his final game, but there may not be enough on the line for this to devolve into a back-and-forth shootout."

Seoul Food Meat Company
1400 S. Church St. Ste A, Charlotte, NC, 28203
Yelp Stars: 4 | Reviews: 516 | Miles from Bank of America Stadium: 0.5
Sample Yelp Review: "Seoul has redefined wings for me. Crispy, big, meaty, and sauced so well. We did the half and half wings, kimchi slaw, Ramen Mac and cheese, and sweet potato birds nest. The best was the wings and service. The staff was personable and the wings were out of this world. The best amount of crisp and we got the half and half sauces. Both the spicy bbq and soy garlic were delicious." (—Maura A.)
