They’re also trotting out our very own rock dinosaurs, Hootie and the Blowfish, for a live performance from [...]
Well, the news from NYC last night wasn’t good. Our favorite chef at the James Beard Awards didn’t win the Best Chef Southeast prize – of course, Mike Lata still cooks a mean short rib and has the freshest greens in town. It’s an honor for Lata, FIG, and Charleston to even be [...]
