About this listen
Charleston’s food scene is experiencing a renaissance—one bite at a time—where innovation, tradition, and a dash of Southern charm mingle like old friends at a backyard oyster roast. Let’s take a stroll through the Holy City’s vibrant culinary landscape and discover why this Lowcountry gem is commanding the attention of food lovers everywhere.
2025 has brought a fresh wave of excitement, starting with the highly anticipated opening of Kardea Brown’s restaurant at Charleston International Airport. Brown, a Food Network personality and Sea Island native, spotlights time-honored Gullah cuisine: think okra soup and savory rice dishes, all crafted with her signature warmth and a reverence for the region’s African American culinary roots. Her venue promises an immersive homage to Lowcountry flavors, making the airport a bona fide food destination.
Craving global flavors? Joe Nierstedt’s Katsubō Chicken & Ramen in North Charleston is making waves with a menu that reads like a love letter to Japanese comfort food—steaming bowls of ramen, crispy fried chicken wings, and umami-rich edamame. Meanwhile, Maya del Sol Kitchen in North Charleston, helmed by chef Raul Sanchez, treats adventurous palates to bold Mexican fare and an ever-changing chef’s table. Beef heart guisado or puerco asado, anyone? Maya del Sol’s rotating dinners offer a passport to international flavor, often built on Sanchez’s family memories.
Charleston’s reinvention of the classics is alive and well. Merci in Harleston Village is the latest small plates bistro in an 1820s townhouse, elevating local seafood and produce with a distinctly European twist. Over on Sullivan’s Island, The Obstinate Daughter stands out for Southern-Italian fusion, while Ma’am Saab is tantalizing Charleston with Pakistani comfort food and vibrant spices, a rare but now beloved addition to the city’s repertoire.
Still, tradition anchors everything. Husk, under the guidance of Chef Sean Brock, continues to redefine iconic dishes like shrimp and grits using the bounty of local waters and farms. For the purist, 82 Queen’s lush She-Crab Soup offers a spoonful of Charleston’s past: sweet crab, a splash of sherry, and a whisper of the Atlantic. Don’t skip a side of benne wafers or a cold Planters Punch, both deeply woven into the city’s food lore.
Charleston’s culinary scene is a living tapestry: Gullah heritage, farm-to-table innovation, and a spirit that invites experimentation. It’s a melting pot where oyster roasts meet ramen nights, and every bite tells a story. For those who eat with curiosity—and maybe a little Southern swagger—Charleston isn’t just a stop; it’s a destination worth savoring..
