WELCOME TO CHARLESTON!

With Charleston Restaurant Week, the Low-country Oyster Festival and the CharlestonWine + Food Festival coming up, we have food on our minds. I could quite possibly try a different restaurant every night of the yearand still not experience all the deliciousnessCharleston has to offer. So in this issue we take a look at our city’s growing reputation as a food town. While the world is now discov-ering all Charleston cuisine has to offer, it’ssomething we’ve known for quite some timebecause our recipe is perfect: amazing chefs, a spectacular atmosphere and a culinary history built on southern goodness.

Our official tourist season kicks off in Febru-ary with the annual Southeastern Wildlife Exposition and runs full speed into theCooper River Bridge Run.

Spring comes early here in the Holy City so get ready for a flower show and the sweetscent of Confederate jasmine as you strolldowntown. It really is just about the perfecttime of year here so you’ve picked the perfecttime to visit!

All the best,

Member of: Charleston Convention & Visitors Bureau; Charleston Restaurant Association; Summerville/Dorchester Chamber of Commerce.

VE Things to Love about

the Lowcountry

1. Pluff mud: That dark soft soilfound in our many marshes. It sticksto your shoes and your soul.

2. Waterfront Park: Snag a spot on one of the pier swings and keep your eyes open for a dolphin sighting.

3. Azaleas: These shrubs pop withpinks and white in the spring. Sunsets on the Charleston Harbor.

4. Boiled peanuts straight out of a paper bag.

5. Joggling boards: Spotted on historic homes throughout the area, legend goes that young couples would sit at either end and“joggle” toward each other for aspecial moment.

6. Shrimp and grits: Delicious. ‘Nuf said.

7. Morris Island Lighthouse on Folly Beach: This iconic lighthouse began operating in 1876. Save the Light is a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the lighthouse and saving it from erosion.

8. Wonder’s Way: Get a bird’s eye view of Charleston from the bike and pedestrian path on the ArthurRavenel Jr. Bridge spanning the Cooper River.

9. Sunsets on the Charleston Harbor.

10. Charleston Green: A color seenoften in historic properties but looksmore like black at first glance.


It wouldn’t be hard to eat your waythrough Charleston. Downtown iscrammed with award-winning

restaurants and chefs, top-notchLowcountry cuisine and imaginativecocktails. If you’re visiting Charleston,buy stretchy pants.

In the last few years, the Holy City’ssecret has gotten out: Charleston is afoodie town. The city is home to threeJames Beard award-winning chefs andjust this year Husk was named the bestnew restaurant in the country by BonAppétit. The Charleston Wine + FoodFestival grows each year, attractingfood and wine lovers, media attentionand an opportunity for attendees tosample world-class cuisine.

“Charleston is considered outstanding.It’s mentioned in the same sentence asSan Francisco and New York,” saidHolly Herrick, a Charleston food writerand author.

Food for the Soul:Charleston a Culinary Destination Like No OtherBY HOLLY FISHER


Charleston is riding a wave of Southerncooking and heirloom food with thelikes of Chef Mike Lata (FIG), ChefSean Brock (McCrady’s and Husk) and Chef Craig Deihl (Cypress). Theyare combining old world and newworld traditions and it’s so exciting,Herrick said.

The Charleston Wine + Food Festival,going into its seventh year this March,has contributed to putting Charlestonon the food map. Last year the festivalattracted 19,000 people – about 40 percent of those from out of town.

The festival is all about showcasingCharleston – not just the food but thecity and all its attributes. “The numberof food festivals continues to growacross the country. There are new onesevery year. We’ve tried to find a nichefor ourselves,” said Ashley Zink, direc-tor of communications. “Our biggestasset in bringing people to our festivalis Charleston – you can’t find that atany other festival.”

The Charleston Wine + Food Festival is going into its seventh year this March.


The 2012 festival is putting thespotlight on even more of Charleston’sattractions and culture. While a majority of festival events have been at Marion Square – a large park in theheart of downtown – this year’s festivalis expanding to other sites, such as FortSumter National Monument, the SouthCarolina Aquarium, Lowndes GrovePlantation, several restaurants and art galleries.

“It’s a great way for people to experi-ence some of the incredible historicsites they might not otherwise see,”Zink said.

Beyond the festival, visitors are coming year-round to Charleston forits cuisine and to try as many differentrestaurants as they can.

About four years ago, Bulldog Toursowner John LaVerne expanded his history and ghost tours to add culinarytours: Savor the Flavors of CharlestonTour that focuses on Lowcountry cuisine history and how local food has evolved over the years and aCharleston Chef ’s Kitchen Tour with a behind-the-scenes look into some of Charleston’s best restaurants.

By the Numbers:Charleston Wine + Food Festival

Top non-local states for visitation: South Carolina,North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York.

As a nonprofit organization, the festival raised $250,000 in its first six years for area charities and scholarships.

Total economic impact of the2011 festival: $7.29 million ($2 million more than 2010).

In 2011, the festival recycled5,600 pounds of cardboard,16,000 pounds of glass, 80pounds of cork and 380 poundsof paper. The festival has di-verted 11 tons of trash from thelandfill – making it Charleston’sleader in event recycling efforts.

“When we first started the culinarytours four years ago, Charleston re-gionally was popular with foodies,”LaVerne said. “In the last couple ofyears, it has become a culinary destina-tion for people all over the country.”

People are coming to Charleston justbecause of the food, he said.

“Even people who grew up in the Southor Charleston are fascinated to hearwhat makes our cuisine so unique,”LaVerne said.

Much of the focus these days is on localfood and the farm-to-table concept.

Chefs are putting their own spin andinterpretation on using local foods,said Marion Sullivan, food writer andculinary program specialist at the Culinary Institute of Charleston.

She also points to a new focus on craft beers and local breweries as wellas spots like The Gin Joint, SocialRestaurant + Wine Bar and BelmountLounge mixing up unique selections of cocktails and wine.

A great time to sample as many restau-rants as possible – without maxing outthe credit card – is during the annualCharleston Restaurant Week. Dozensof restaurants offer three-course prixfixe meals for $40, $30 and $20, de-pending on the caliber of the establish-ment. This year’s Restaurant Week isJan. 11-22.

America’s Only Tea Garden

It wouldn’t be dinnertime in the South without a tall glass ofsweet tea, but what you might not know is how deep tea’s rootsrun right here in Charleston.

Located on Wadmalaw Island, the Charleston Tea Plantation is a 127-acre workingtea farm producing the tea used for the American Classic Tea brand. The planta-tion makes tea from the Camellia Sinensis plant, which first arrived in the UnitedStates from China in the 1700s. Early on, South Carolina struggled to grow tea, butin 1888, Dr. Charles Shepard founded a tea plantation in Summerville, not far fromCharleston. Shepard produced award-winning teas at Pinehurst Tea Plantationuntil he died in 1915.

In 1963, Shepard’s tea plants were transplanted to a potato farm on Wadmalaw Island where research on the tea plants continued. In the late 1980s, third-genera-tion tea taster William Barclay Hall purchased the land and converted it to a commercial tea farm. The Bigelow Family purchased the plantation in 2003 andformed a partnership with Hall to continue to make American Classic Tea on theCharleston Tea Plantation.

Visitors can tour the factory, learningabout the history of tea as well as the production and harvesting of tea on the plantation. Take a Trolley Ride through the tea fields and then browse the gift shop for teapots, accessories and souvenirs as well as some of the American Classic Tea.
