Trattoria Lucca Opening Delayed
September 18, 2008 – 11:39 am
Just got word from Ken Vedrinski’s people, and it looks like Trattoria Lucca won’t open until Tuesday night. Last week, they told us they were expecting to be open tonight (which is what we reported in this week’s paper), but due to some last minute permitting issues, they won’t be able to open after all.
We’ll [...]

Toss My Salad — Please!
September 18, 2008 – 10:53 am
Before you start licking your lips and/or laughing, I’m talking about a tossed salad literally here. I’m not referring to some silly idiom that people use to describe a sexual move that’s joked about more than it’s practiced.
Seriously, an expertly tossed salad is something I’ve come to appreciate. I eat salads pretty much every day [...]
Food + Wine Kickoff
August 29, 2008 – 1:42 pm
If you didn’t make the kick-off party for the Charleston Food + Wine festival yesterday afternoon, then you missed out on a grand time, perfect weather (considering the rain lately), and some really fine, well, food and wine. The best dish of the night by far was a “Shrimp BLT” concoction put out by Craig [...]
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 [...]
