The Hominy Grill in Charleston. Photo Credit: Pamela Jacobs Food is an integral part of Charleston's past and present; the city's chefs and restaurants earn constant acclaim from locals, foodies and critics. Here's where to enjoy the best of it:
Jestine's Kitchen: It's touristy, but for good reason. Named in honor of the owner's friend/former nanny, the granddaughter of a freed slave, Jestine's offers up some of the best Southern staples you'll find, including phenomenal fried chicken, collard greens and "table wine," aka traditional sweet tea. Husk: Farm-to-table, modern Southern cuisine in a breathtaking Victorian mansion is served up by a James Beard Award-winning chef, and visitors just can't get enough of it. Marina Variety Store: Go for the impossibly low prices and pretty water views; stay for the traditional and oh-so-good shrimp and grits and biscuits. Hominy Grill: Another touristy-but-worth-it gem, whether for a breakfast biscuit loaded with fried chicken and gravy, a fried green tomato BLT for lunch or shrimp and grits any time of day, this adorable cafe is always soul-satisfying.
