Lowcountry on the Rise: A Taste of Charleston’s Culinary Revolution

Listeners, loosen your belts and prepare your palates—Charleston’s restaurant scene is in the midst of a thrilling renaissance that’s equal parts tradition and innovation. From Gullah-inspired soul food to daring global twists, the city’s culinary identity is an irresistible symphony of flavors, sights, and stories.

Let’s start with the latest buzz: Food Network star Kardea Brown is set to bring her signature Gullah cuisine to Charleston International Airport this spring, promising travelers and locals an authentic, deeply rooted taste of the Sea Islands. Think rice, okra, shrimp, and the rich tapestry of West African, Native American, and European influences that continue to define the Lowcountry’s edible heritage.

Craving something with a bold new edge? Make a beeline for Katsubō Chicken & Ramen in North Charleston—where chef Joe Nierstedt is satisfying every umami urge with ramen, gyoza, and Japanese-inspired small plates that fuse comfort and creativity. Meanwhile, in Harleston Village, Merci is the latest European-inspired small plates bistro from Michael and Courtney Zentner, serving local seafood and produce in an atmospheric 1820s townhouse. And if you’re pining for family-style Italian, Volpe’s Charleston welcomes chef Ken Vedrinski back to the scene with his legendary seafood pasta and pillowy handmade gnocchi.

Global flavors continue to wow, too. Ma’am Saab, the triumphant brick-and-mortar from Maryam Ghaznavi and Raheel Gauba, brings elegant Pakistani comfort food—like lamb biryani and aloo gobi—to breezy, non-traditional digs downtown. Or head to Maya del Sol Kitchen in North Charleston, where chef Raul Sanchez transforms tamales and puerco asado into works of culinary art, often inspired by his own family’s recipes.

Of course, Charleston’s culinary soul still beats with its classics. Shrimp and grits—creamy, briny, and born from Gullah tradition—remain a rite of passage at legends like Husk and Poogan’s Porch. You’ll find fragrant she-crab soup at 82 Queen, crackling fried chicken at Leon’s Oyster Shop, and historic rice-based dishes like Hoppin’ John, all testaments to the city’s reverence for local ingredients and time-honored techniques.

Spring brings an electrifying calendar of food festivals, chef’s tables, and tasting events—from the internationally acclaimed Charleston Wine + Food Festival, where top talent mingles with passionate locals, to intimate chef-led dinners exploring everything from Southern classics to international specialties.

What truly sets Charleston apart is its spirit—a city where marshes glisten, chefs swap stories with farmers at the market, and every meal honors centuries-old traditions while fearlessly chasing the next great bite. For culinary adventurers, Charleston isn’t just a destination. It’s a revelation. Pack your appetite and join the feast..
