I’m the editor of the Charleston City Paper. I also co-own the paper with my husband Blair Barna and the publisher Noel Mermer. I could probably do a blog just about working with your spouse, but I’ll spare you. Instead, I’ll post random musings, political rants, foodie thoughts, and various other stuff that’s relevant to the Charleston community. Or maybe it will only be relevant to me.
Gas Up at Fuel’s Block Party This Saturday
August 20, 2008 – 2:59 pm
This Saturday, August 23, Fuel is throwing a back-to-school block party extravaganza from 3-9 p.m. It may not actually be on Cannon Street, but the Caribbean cantina is gating off their entire property — parking lot, backyard, patio — to have a day-long soiree with music, food, and some honkey-tonk games like a corn hole [...]
Bull Street Beer Tasting
August 20, 2008 – 2:50 pm
If you haven’t dropped by and seen the sign on their door, you may not know that Bull Street Gourmet is having a $5 beer and wine tasting on Thursday, August 21 (yes, five dollars!).
Bull Street hosts the tastings every other Thursday to provide a place for people to sip some goodness and raise money [...]
I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Seersucker Ice Cream
July 31, 2008 – 1:13 pm
Here’s a universal truth for you: all ice cream tastes good.
Not a revelation, but a fact that makes judging ice cream flavors pretty difficult. Chef Marc Collins and Pastry Chef Scott Lovorn of Circa 1886 amused themselves this summer with an ice cream contest, inviting people to submit a recipe that represented Charleston. I was [...]
Louis Osteen to Close Pawley’s Restaurant
July 31, 2008 – 8:59 am
I can’t say I’m surprised to read in The State this morning that Louis and Marlene Osteen will be closing up Louis’s Restaurant in Pawley’s Island to focus on their new Vegas venture.
I wrote a story about the Osteens back in February, after visiting their new restaurant in Las Vegas. Louis is the kind of [...]
CP Foodie Checks Out the Lettered Olive on IOP
July 30, 2008 – 9:37 am
The following was written by intern Alison Sher after a visit to a new restaurant at Wild Dunes:
There is rarely a time when journalists from all the papers in Charleston get to sit down at a table and talk nice with each other over five courses of food. Are there rivalries between publications?
I mean we [...]
CP Foodie Intern does the Palette & Palate Stroll
July 14, 2008 – 4:10 pm
I’m an art fan. I love contemporary painting, abstract impressionism, sculpture using different mediums, but I’m not gonna lie. As far as I’m concerned, this event might as well have been called the Palate and Palate and Palate Race Toward Diabetes. When it came down to having platters of endless hors’ doeuvres made by Charleston’s [...]
Stehling Wins Beard Award
June 8, 2008 – 8:02 pm
Well, the news is good and bad from the James Beard Awards in New York City tonight.
Robert Stehling of Hominy Grill was recognized as the Best Southeastern Chef, which means that Mike Lata of FIG did not get that award.
Sean Brock, who was nominated for the Rising Star Under 30 award, also lost. Jeff Allen [...]

If you haven’t gotten your tickets yet for the Todd Richards dinner at McCrady’s this Sunday night, you’d better get on the horn. The Iron Chef “Battle Carrot” veteran and Southern Foodways Alliance darling from Louisville will bring his A-game to the Cypress room and promises to deliver what might be the best culinary [...]
Chef’s Potluck
April 25, 2008 – 10:54 am
Imagine having a potluck party with a bunch of chefs. What kind of creations would they bring? You can probably bet that they wouldn’t bother with those french onion noodle casseroles that Aunt Edna always brings to the church potluck. The Chef’s Potluck on Sunday at Middleton Place organized by Lowcountry Local First and the [...]
