The Holy City

Charleston is one of the oldest cities in America. While the food scene in Charleston is filled with innovators and food-forward thinkers, you can always taste the Southern roots and history in its cuisine. From incredible fresh seafood to mouth-watering barbecue to classic Southern dishes with a modern twist, you really can’t go wrong in Charleston. I recommend all food lovers visit Charleston to experience comfort food at its best. Here is a list of some of my favorite restaurants and hotels to check out while you’re there.
