Charleston Food + Wine Plans?
February 15, 2008 – 7:56 am
Have you bought tickets to any Charleston F+W fest events yet? The hot tickets again this year are the Salute to Chefs opening night party, the Bubbles & Sweets party, and the Dine Arounds (most of which are sold out). I bought tickets to FIG’s Dine Around this year where Suzanne Goin will be [...]
J Bistro Closes
February 8, 2008 – 1:36 pm
If you made reservations for Valentine’s Day at J. Bistro, you might want to rethink your plans. Tamir Lerman, who purchased the restaurant from James Burns a couple years ago, has closed the restaurant. The space is currently undergoing renovations and will be reopening in a few months under a new concept.
Basil to Conquer Mt P
February 8, 2008 – 12:02 pm
According to a small item in today’s business section, Basil — Charleston’s favorite Thai restaurant — has signed a lease with the Beach Company at the Shoppes at Seaside Farms off of the Isle of Palms connector.
That’s exciting news. We’ve got a call into Basil brothers Henry and Chai Eang to get details on their [...]
DIY Chef TV

Chef Marc Collins at Circa 1886 is starring in his very own video podcast, which will become a regular feature on the restaurant’s website. The current four-minute episode shows him preparing winter dishes from local ingredients. Could this be the launching pad of a new celeb-u-chef? Check it out.
Another Guerrilla Dinner
December 6, 2007 – 8:19 am
The Guerrilla Cuisine guys were pretty stoked with how their debut series of dinners went last month. For an underground event, the City Paper covered it pretty extensively. (See stories here, here, and here). But can you really blame us? The idea is cool — big name chefs, cooking you dinner in a non-restaurant location [...]
I Heart Butter Beans
October 29, 2007 – 3:50 pm
I’ve always felt much love for butter beans. As a kid, I hated broccoli and brussels sprouts, but man, I would happily put away the limas.
Lately, it seems as if the little butter bean is showing up on more and more menus. The Fat Hen has a mean seared grouper with sautéed mushrooms, garlic, tomatoes, [...]

John T. Edge, he of the Southern Foodways Alliance, was recently in Charleston and posted a quick blurb over at the Gourmet blog about what he did while in town, giving a shout out to our own Sarah O’Kelley for pointing him in the direction of Miss Kitty’s, a fine little diner within walking distance [...]

October 16, 2007 – 1:39 pm
It took eight months for David Leboutillier, Craig Nelson, and crew to renovate the old Lulu’s Bistro space on Maybank Highway, but they finally finished, and Fez, their French Moroccan restaurant, opened to the public last Friday. We’ve been hearing about this place for months, getting inside reports from Al di La’s John Marshall, who [...]
Bourdain Gets All PC about the South
September 18, 2007 – 1:03 pm
Did you see the South Carolina edition of No Reservations last night?
Anthony Bourdain and his crew filmed the episode last spring, and it finally aired on Monday night. In it was all the things we were promised — a cocktail party with the Lee Brothers, an oyster roast, a visit to Sweatman’s, Gullah food, [...]
Anthony Bourdain in Charleston Update
August 30, 2007 – 12:58 pm
Remember last spring, when your intrepid foodies at the City Paper spent almost a week tracking the footsteps of Anthony Bourdain as he toured Charleston?
Well, it ended in an interview with the famous chef/author/TV host at the Pavilion Bar and resulted in a piece about his visit to town and the upcoming season [...]
