Charlotteans who've been here for more than a few months know Anderson's for their age-old slogan, the world's best pecan pie. The phrase is even emblazoned on the side of the building just beneath the restaurant's giant neon sign. But there's a whole lot more there to choose from. Popular items include delicious golden fried chicken and a breakfast to brag about that boasts Smithfield country ham. In addition to the pecan pie, there's another signature item known as a Hot Dorsey Sandwich. According to Gary, pop Jimmy named the sandwich after Charlotte furniture mogul James Dorsey, who described the sandwich to Jimmy after Dorsey had tasted one during an out-of-town dining experience. My dad told Mr. Dorsey that he'd try to recreate it and if he liked it, he would name it after him. Ironically, the Hot Dorsey isn't even a sandwich -- it's baked in a casserole dish with white meat chicken, sharp cheese, mushrooms, crisp bacon and Anderson's special sauce.
