foodies guide to lowcountry
For architecture, history and a taste of the New South, head for Charleston and Savannah.
To find the best places to eat and nosh, pick up a copy of the “Food Lovers’ Guide to Charleston and Savannah” by Holly Herrick.
Herrick, who has lived in Charleston since 2000, is a Cordon Blue-trained chef, author and longtime food writer. Her work has appeared in Southern Living, Bon Appetit and Gourmet.
Her new guide ($14.95) covers trendy and landmark restaurants, plus food festivals, like the popular Charleston Wine + Food Festival (poster below). It also includes spots in town and on the beaches that locals favor.
For good measure, the tuck-in-tote-paperback features a few recipes, ranging from Spiced Georgia Nuts from Savannah’s Green Truck Pup (which also cooks up grass-fed burgers) to the lemony Broccoli & Lentil Salad served at Charleston’s Caviar & Bananas.
In the guide to these two great eating towns, find Sean Brock’s award-winning restaurants (Husk and McGrady’s in Charleston) among the tasty listings along with Savannah landmarks, like Elizabeth on 37th.
You will discover there is a world of Southern food beyond fried chicken and BBQ.
Oh me me!!!! That looks wonderful. I have a great love for the Low Country and have always had a super range of culinary experiences there, especially once you get seafood involved. Thanks for the review.
