Because I’m romantic AF, I booked the for Gent and me, “the best new cooking class” in the world. He got real sick so I did what any classy broad would do and begged for a store credit. One or my bff and lady loves, joined me do an absolutely fantastic evening of cheese balloons…

Busk the Husk
My charming colleague/bff and I rolled into Charleston just to have a couple bomb ass food experiences within hours of each other. First, was Sean Brock’s Husk. I’ve been here a few times, always having had my hair blown back…this time not as much. It wasn’t bad by any means, but the anticipated orgasms for…
Magnolia’s
Not sure if you’re excited or disappointed, but we’ve hit our final stop on our Charleston food tour. I’m just beginning to figure it how four pounds are gained in three days, despite gratuitous walking. So. Brunch at Magnolia’s. I’ve been here before and this visit did not disappoint just as the last. But, first,…
Carmella’s & The Spectator Bar
After our less than amusing dinner at McCrady’s Tavern, we opted for dessert elsewhere and found Carmella’s dessert bar. Dessert and Bar are two words that should always be friends and more often than not, seem to be in the south. We split three desserts among three ladies. There was a cannoli, not pictured, that…
Grille 225 & McCrady’s Tavern
Are you sick of hearing about Charleston restaurants? Hope not; there’s a few left to go. Our final night in Charleston, we had perhaps my favorite drink of the trip, “Nitrotinis” from Grille 225. We arrived just after 6PM for a pre-dinner drink and scored a seat by the bar as the jazz band was…
Black Tap and Callie’s Hot Little Biscuits
The next morning we awakened early for another long walk because we knew that walk would be resulting in biscuits. But, first…coffeee.. We wandered over to Black Tap coffee which was over in the University of Charleston neighborhood. A very hipster vibe, we felt a little out-of-place, but the iced coffee was just delicious. Straight…
Peninsula Grill
That evening we dined at the beautiful, Peninsula Grill in The Planter’s Inn. I’d been here numerous times before, but just for the coconut cake. Real food seemed unnecessary here. That is, until I read the menu and started salivating over the scallops. I had to have them. The restaurant is small, but warm and…
Husk
The next stop on our food tour was the venerable, and personal favorite, Husk. Sean Brock is a Southern-food god and I couldn’t wait to get some of his fried chicken all up in here. These hips were starting to lie and they needed checked. But before that could happen, there would first be a…
Hall’s Chop House
The first night my friends arrived in town, we tried Hall’s Chop House. Of course, you can find a good steakhouse about anywhere, but this one claims to be one of the top two in America. Just ask their website. We had a late reservation and the vibe was VERY lively with several tables seated after…
Belmond Charleston
Two of my best foodie friends met me for a debaucherous girls’ weekend in Charleston. I don’t mean dranks or shopping debaucherous…I mean purely food…so much fooddddd. In fact, I’m still in a food coma from this weekend. Most of it was so tasty, I’m going to share all of my restaurant reviews so you…
