I can think of no instance where an owner-restaurant identity was so present. Slug,Charlotte personality,man about town,great restauranteur and boss. I would like the recipe of Slug's creamed spinach! Can anyone help. I worked on weekends cleaning tables in my High School times while my mother was a hostess at the Choice. Then I started waiting on tables at the Rib and also at the Choice. I learned alot and its helped me through my working years. Hi Matt, I remember you.
An incredible memory. My last family dinner vacation before my parents divorced in and a week after I met my now ex-husband of 22 yrs had wonderful time thank you Slugs. My mother, was employed, by Barclays Cafeteria, in Charlotte, from , it was her first job, after she and my father got a divorce in , she had been a full time housewife, and mother, and it was her first official job outside of the house, my little brother was in Kindergarten, and she asked my older sister to babysit for us, while she was at work, at the cafeteria, she had to walk there, from Commonwealth Road, it was not far, but it was a big hill to walk, then, we moved, and she got a new job, as a waitress.
Through the better part of the '70s, my mother worked in almost all of the Barclay's locations -- starting at Amity Gardens, then moving to the basement downtown, but being loaned upstairs or to South Park as they needed help I started working for Slugs Rib at the Beach My career began as a dishwasher, moved to the salad bar and then to a meat carver. Mr Edgar opened Adams Rib at which point he took most of the employees with him.
J Karl Becker became our new GM. I decided to stay around with Slugs. Mr C always loved people of whom was dedicated to the company. It was really nice to have a mentor like Mr C. I retired with the city of N. Police Department and went on to be Chief in A. I just wanted to sat thanks to the family for sharing such a wonderful man. I always think of the first time he called me his Black Son.
He would often correct me when I would get in trouble at the Beach. Thanks to those great restaurants for giving so many of us a chance at the beach. Eric C. Lewis lewisabpd aol.

He operated several Slug's restaurants plus the Barclay Cafeterias. He opened the first Barclay Cafeteria on Independence Boulevard at the Amity Gardens shopping center at the beginning of This was followed by two Barclay Cafeterias and a snack bar at the Belk downtown location in the basement and on the sixth floor- "the Gold Room" and a Barclay Cafeteria at Belk-Southpark on the third floor.
The Amity Gardens location would last through February , the downtown locations would close at the end of , and the Southpark location would close in December due to Belk remodeling their store in spite of much protesting from their loyal customers.

Some freshwater and marine snails have separate sexes. Some land snails move between land and fresh- or saltwater. Most land snails have lungs, but some live in moist areas and have gills. Most snails have thousands of microscopic tooth-like structures on a ribbon-like tongue called a radula, which they use to rip apart food. Many snails are herbivorous plant-eaters , but some are carnivores meat-eaters or omnivores eating plants and meat.
Some snails eat other snails. I found one little snail sitting in the top of a pitcher plant near Black Ankle Bog. It is in the family Polygyridae — air-breathing land snails that characteristically have a thickened and somewhat reflexed edge at the opening of their shell. That species was Mesodon thyroidus , one of our larger species and one of the most common across the state. Raising snails for food is called heliciculture.
