Been in town 30 minutes. Consuming a liquor drink on the way to Home Team for wings, other smoked meats, sides, and more alcohol. Love this city
http://charleston.eater.com/2016/8/3/12367896/mcradys-sean-brock-charleston Mcradys Tavern sounds dope, Brock said he likes the burger they made for it better than the Husk burger
Peanut butter and jelly beer at Edmunds. Go to the rooftop bar at The Vendue and hit Westbrook brewery. Or just all the breweries.
Game Changer was consumed along with wings, brisket, pulled pork, hash and rice, Mac and cheese, collards, and vegetable of the day (fried brussels). All was split between 4 of us
Had Lewis' for the first time last week. Jesus. So good, and everybody in our party ordered way more than they realized. I didn't try it, but they were all losing their shit over the corn pudding. Had enough brisket for me and the wife that night for dinner, and toasted a brioche bun and made a hell of a breakfast sandwich with the hot sausage the next morning. Basically what I'm saying is order a ton because those were some fantastic leftovers.
I fucked up by not ordering enough for leftovers. Now that I'm home, I'd do bad things for some more brisket
Any of you locals been to little jacks? Wife and I were big fans of St. Albans coffee before they changed it. I think they also own Leon's maybe? We are heading back down in October and have that and Lewis on the list of new spots to check out.
I haven't personally been but my neighbor was just telling me about it last week. They love it. Hope to get there soon.
I can't remember if I posted these in here and I'm too lazy to look, so whatever Chef at acme is leaving to open a place over by tmbrules on Wingo way. New chef will be the guy from Ellis Creek fish camp, which is also awesome. Smoke bbq taking over the previous Blacksheep location as well. I still miss Luna Rosa for you old school folk
Ocean Course was a top-notch experience and facility. Played solid golf on holes 3-16. Doubled 1,2,17, and 18. Loved everything about the course but would put it behind Cassique on my Kiawah Island power ranking
1? Let me guess, blocked your drive to the right into the waste bunker. Chunked it into the water, 2 putt for a double? That's about the only way to double that hole. Your caddie should've told you to miss left with your drive. Totally agree about Cassique. Caddied there for 6 years, it's my favorite course ever.
I wish I could blame it on a bad drive. Drove it perfectly in the left side of the fairway, 105 to flag, catch a gust of wind coming up a little short (spun down the slope fronting the green), hit a below average chip to 15 feet, proceed to 3 jack from there. Such a terrible double on one of the easier holes on the course. More of the same on #2. Completely shit the bed around and on the green. Hit the beverage cart for a liquor drink immediately following that dub and righted the ship. It was quite the embarrassing start, considering my short game is typically the strongest part of my game. I'm sure you can guess exactly how I doubled 17 and probably 18
Was hoping you remembered my best piece of advice at the OC: putt whenever you can. It's a beautiful walk on that back nine especially. Glad you played well for the most part. Double bogey is lurking on every hole.
I couldn't putt on #1 and did on #2 (which was definitely the right play) just terribly executed. The back nine is extremely gorgeous.
A little news on the revelry roof top construction http://m.charlestoncitypaper.com/Ea...ek-revelrys-new-rooftop-open-air-tasting-room
Husk's burger is the best in town - no question. I'm pretty ambivalent on Husk in general but the burger is the deal. Second best I've had lately was at the new downtown Home Team.
The two best sandwiches I've had in Charleston were both at Smoke - place is criminally underrated. Would be nice to have another spot in MP. Black Sheep was terrible.
I have no idea if it is the same guys but Smoke food truck was the first ever food truck I had ever eaten from and it was one of the best BBQ sandwiches I have had in a long, long time. Even the homemade ketchup was completely on-point.
I've been to 167 raw a bunch of times but last night was the first time I've had the tuna burger Holy shit that's a delicious sandwich
Will be in Charleston at the end of next week. Have reservations @ husk one of the nights...where else should we go for food/drinks?
Do Minero, 167 raw, Lewis bbq (GOAT bbq), drink at Edmunds oast, revelry, vendue rooftop, hometeam really anywhere that looks cool That's a HIGHLY abbreviated list, if you want more let me know but I recommend you do those things
Any breweries worth hitting? I saw a comment above about Westbrook that didn't seem all that great. Thanks for the list!
Revelry is a brewery. Really the only one downtown worth going to. Edmunds oast brews in house and they're great, they're just not a production brewery. Westbrook isn't that good of a time to hang out at. Holy city has a great facilit. Frothy beard is small but beer is great. Cooper river is cool, low tide and tradesman as well. They're just all a short uber away while revelry is right downtown next to a bunch of shit
