Note: Be sure to catch up on our other daily recaps! Day 1: Rooted in Charleston, Day 2: Seaside Bites, and Day 4: What the Pho?! My feet are aching, my stomach is full, and I’m more tired than I’ve been in a long time, but I suppose I can’t really complain because I got to attend a ton of amazing and unforgettable events. Here’s my digest of Day 3: Culinary Village A favorite as always! I love the Artisan Tent, as it always introduces me to fun and exciting new products, like these! And lets me reintroduce some old favorites into my life! Snacks are everywhere Everything from the sweet, to the savory, the salty, the smoky, and everything in between! Cajun Meets Lowcountry Boil This event took place at Salty Mike’s off of Lockwood. Although this type of food isn’t usually my favorite, the weather and the view were so beautiful, you really couldn’t complain! Also, the music was fantastic, the beer was cold, and there were lots of treats that everyone could enjoy! A Bourbon Affair This event made me wish I was more of a bourbon connoisseur! There was so much brown water, I didn’t know where to […]

Chuck Town is one of the oldest cities in the U.S—and it may also one of the most haunted.
Charleston is a well known vacation destination. But opting not to stay in its quaint downtown, but across the harbor at The Beach Club at the Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina changes plenty.

Note: Be sure to catch up on our other daily recaps! Day 1: Rooted in Charleston, Day 2: Seaside Bites, Day 3: Chucktown Gets Down, and Day 4: What the Pho?! We made it. It was a long 5 days, chock full of too much food, too many drinks, and not enough time to full digest before diving back in. Excuse me while I sleep for 3 days to recover. Here are the details of the final day of Wine + Food 2017 Of Rice and Rum This was one of the more unique events we attended during Wine + Food this year. It took place at Middleton Place plantation and included a walking tour of the grounds, an demonstration of rice harvesting from a guy dressed up in colonial clothing, and a talk from Glenn Roberts of Anson Mills on the importance of rice in the South and how it relates to Sugarcane, rum, benne, and culture, before we ever got a chance to taste any rice or rum. Lunch was served in a gorgeous event space at Middleton, and was comprised of 2 dishes using Carolina Gold Rice as a main component. First up was a crispy duck, […]
Note: Be sure to catch up on our other daily recaps! Day 1: Rooted in Charleston, Day 2: Seaside Bites, Day 3: Chucktown Gets Down, and Day 4: What the Pho?! The weather on Saturday couldn’t have been better for a full day of Wine + Food events. Today was the first day that TQuizzle and I have been really able to spend the whole day together, so we really did it up right. Here’s a sampling of our day: Iron Mixology Competition We slept in a bit and headed to Bar Mash for the iron mixology competition, hosted by the amazingly talented mixologist Charlotte Voisey, Director of Brand Advocacy for William Grant & Sons! 4 local mixologists competed using secret ingredients. Round 1 was passionfruit. Round 2 was beer. And Round 3 was balsamic vinegar. Although Feathertop, Prohibition, and Proof all brought their A-game, it was ultimately Gin Joint who walked away a champion! Shucked An event for all the oyster lovers out there! Basically all you can eat oysters in any style imaginable–raw, steamed, grilled, chargrilled, Rockefeller, with garlic…you name it, it was at Shucked. My personal favorite was from Grand Isle Restaurant out of New Orleans, which […]
In honor of National Burger Day, I thought I’d introduce a new segment on my blog, the Queen’s Guide to Charleston. Since I go to a large number of restaurants that I haven’t yet reviewed, I thought it might be helpful to create a guide for Charleston that focuses on the best dishes in different categories. Here is my list for the top 10 burgers in Chucktown: Husk The Husk burger will always be #1 in my heart. No matter what you think about the rest of their food, the burger is consistently amazing. It’s just the right amount of greasy and cheesy and wonderful. It’s excellence lies in its simplicity. Poe’s Tavern The thing that I love about Poe’s (other than the fact that it’s a restaurant based on the life of Edgar Allen Poe) is that the burgers are ginormous. They’re each named after a Poe poem, and come topped with inventive topping and delicious sides. My fave is the Amontillado, which is topped with guacamole, jalapeno jack cheese, pico de gallo, and chipotle sour cream. Rarebit The normal burger at Rarebit is delicious. You can get it single patty or double patty and with cheese for an […]
