Lowcountry Cuisine Fall/Winter 2019-20

Well, that’s a loaded question. It depends on the person, depends on their experiences, their workload, their passion and their ability – physically, mentally and financially. What strikes your fancy may not be the fanciest to your neighbor. But, for the most part, doing good for the community is a good thing to do. I had a chance to sit down with some local restauranteurs who hold their service to the community to the same high standards as the dishes they serve in their restaurants. This is by no means a list of who does what better, or who does the most, but moreso a glimpse into how much good can come from this industry – just a taste. Their stories run the gamut, but even from this small sampling, it is incredibly uplifting to know that despite busy schedules and doing all that it takes to run a business, these guys still find the time – and somehow find a lot of time – to help others.
