We are all about slow Sunday mornings here in the Lowcountry, so brunch is basically a sport. I have put together 12 must-try brunch spots in Charleston, that start out on the bougier end of the spectrum and get more casual as we work our way down. 1. Husk Image courtesy of @huskrestaurant on Instagram Husk is Southern comfort food at its finest. You will find classics like chicken and waffles and biscuits and gravy on the menu. Plus, since it’s located on Queen Street, the surrounding neighborhood is filled with historic houses and beautiful scenery if you wanted to stroll around afterwards ..read more

Downtown gets all the hype in Charleston, but if you have time to spend a day on Folly Beach during your trip to Charleston, you definitely should. This chill beach town has a totally different vibe than other areas of Charleston and you will truly feel like a local if you follow this itinerary. Lost Dog Cafe for breakfast If you brought your pup with you to Charleston, Lost Dog is a great place to take them with you and Folly is pretty dog friendly otherwise. Even if you don’t have a pup with you, Lost Dog is a great breakfast spot with lots of character. Pictures of dogs cover the walls and ..read more

This was another TikTok prompt that was fun to answer. As someone who lives here, I decided to share how to spend 24 Hours in Charleston. Obviously there are plenty of other things to do and places to eat, but if you only have one day, this is what I would recommend doing. Breakfast at Vicious Biscuit Photo cred: @viciousbiscuits on Instagram If you’re visiting from the Northeast, this place will immediately make you understand why the South loves its biscuits. These biscuit sandwiches are huge, over the top, and damn delicious. If you like spicy, the Flame Thrower is my go-to order. Walk alon ..read more

Since I am recently engaged, I thought it would be fun to put together an itinerary for a Bachelorette Weekend in Charleston, mainly focused on food and drinks. Since I live here, I won’t be doing my bachelorette here, but hopefully this will help some fellow fiancés! There is also a video version of this guide on my TikTok if you’re a visual learner. Friday: Dinner, Drinks, and Dancing Seafood Paella from Barsa Dinner at Barsa This Spanish tapas restaurant is a great spot for a big group because you can order a ton of small plates and share. The paella is a must, as are the patatas bravas. Tr ..read more

A little bit about me: I’ve lived in Charleston, South Carolina since 2014 and have been actively involved in the food community ever since.

Finally, a use for the awkward amount of pumpkin left in the can after you make a recipe. This cocktail is perfect for when you want pumpkin spice latte feels, but it’s too late in the day for coffee. This hot cocktail will keep you feeling cozy from the inside out and is super simple to make. Hot chocolate isn’t just for the kiddos anymore. Check out the full recipe video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvachomgCJw Ingredients: Makes 1 drink 1.5 oz spiced rum (I used Topper’s Rhum) 1 TB white chocolate chips 8 oz almond milk 1-1.5 TB pumpkin spice syrup (recipe below) Optional: whipped ..read more

Y’all know I love a cocktail, but lately the hangovers have been getting worse and worse. I’ve been trying out Delta-8 products recently because in my personal experience it gives me a light buzz that is really enjoyable. When I saw that there was a Delta-8 infused seltzer, I had to give it a try. This seltzer is great for mixing because it doesn’t have a strong flavor on its own, so it is super adaptable for whatever you want to put in it. Check out the recipe below and if you want more information on Delta-8, head to LOKI’s website. Ingredients for one drink 1/4 cup fresh blueberries 10-12 ..read more

Taylor Swift has blessed us with two albums this year and I am here for it. Her style of music has changed over the years, but I feel like she always has a song for what I need in the moment. The song “champagne problems” has to be one of my favorites on her new album evermore. It inspired me to create a champagne cocktail and I was especially excited to create yet another double booze cocktail and create a unique twist to the classic French 75 cocktail. Ingredients Juice of 1/2 a lemon Lemon wheel for garnish 1 oz gin 1 oz grapefruit juice Enough champagne to fill up your glass (you can us ..read more
