Charleston: 2019 - The Food Enthusiast’s Complete Restaurant Guide
()
About this ebook
There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the cooking of it, the preparation of it, the serving of it, and let’s not forget the eating of it.
But Andrew Delaplaine is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.
This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more.
“Exciting” does not necessarily mean expensive. The area’s top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of “sensible alternatives” for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they “plate up” in the kitchen.
For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Delaplaine ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.
Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Andrew Delaplaine not to disappoint.
Delaplaine dines anonymously at the Publisher’s expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.
Bon Appétit!

Saint Philip Steeple w Bridge Photo by Cameron Pollard copyThe historic part of downtown is on a peninsula formed by two rivers, the Ashley and the Cooper, flowing into the Atlantic. It’s got much the same geographical layout as Manhattan does, where you have the East and the Hudson Rivers merging at the tip of Manhattan.
But that’s the only thing that will remind you of New York. Charleston was captured in the Civil War without much property damage, so the historic part of town has buildings that are hundreds of years old. Most of the damage they suffered has come from hurricanes, not cannon balls. The current downtown skyline, with practically no tall buildings due to the city's height restriction ordinance, is dominated by church steeples and the stunning Arthur Ravenel cable-stay bridge completed in 2005 over the Cooper River. The city is a major port on the eastern seaboard of the U.S.
