lowcountry cuisine LC 12 www.LowcountryCuisineMag.com | www.CharlestonRecipes.com couldn’t get you to eat. “Our menu is progressive, highly seasonal and changes multiple times a week. Therefore, almost nothing stays on the menu except for possibly the Beet Cremeux on the dessert menu,” Jackson said. A seven-course chef ’s tasting menu is also available Tuesday through Thursday, as well as on Sunday. Check them out on Instagram: @SorghumSalt, as well as their website. Make reservations at www.sorghumandsalt.com . GRAZE 863 Houston Northcutt Blvd. • Mount Pleasant 843-606-2493 The three partners at Graze – Bradford Bobbit, Derek Lathan and Michael Karkut – opened Graze in September 2010, and, with a menu for lunch, dinner, brunch and gluten-free at this casual establishment with a modern décor, you will immediately concur with the name by literal definition of the word graze – to feed on. Lathan and Karkut are the chefs whose small plates, or “tiny grazing” of yummy offerings, include craft tacos, seafood, meats, chicken and pulled pork, along with soups and salads. There’s also hearty brioche French toast served numerous ways with fruit and whipped cream, lobster mac ‘n’ cheese and larger entrees that will remind you to bring your appetite and wear your elastic-waist pants because grazing will certainly commence. Call for reservations or visit www.grazecharleston.com . MARIE SAUER’S SAUER GRAPESWINE SHOP 125 River Landing Drive, #102 • Daniel Island 843-471-2157 Here’s another approach on what to eat: Choose what you would like to drink first. Sauer Grapes Wine Shop on Daniel Island offers customers an extensive wine selection to please the most discerning oenophile. Opened in December 2012 by Marie Sauer, this Louisville, Kentucky, native educates her customers as well, and offers assistance to pick the perfect wine for the perfect occasion or collection. Sauer related, “No one wants to drink without eating. I am all about selling wine to-go; however, I am licensed to serve food on the premises, which gives me the advantage to offer better prices to customers.” “You can have someone in the shop who decides that they do not want to try different wines, but, when paired with food, suddenly they are more relaxed and able to enjoy,” she added. Live music, wine tastings, celebrations and even seminars dot the event calendar, and their Premium Member Program offers paying members invitations to private events and discounts on certain purchases. Open Monday through Saturday from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., the tapas menu features different cheeses with a variety of fresh breads or chips, numerous hummus dishes, assorted salamis, almonds, dill pickle potato chips and a slew of other tasty items at very reasonable prices, including mini dessert cups and chocolate truffles.
