Four Things In Charleston Not to Miss This Month
- Best of the Fest: Charleston’s second annual Food & Wine Classic returns to the Holy City Nov. 14-16. Events span locations across Charleston, with several local Resy Hit List faves participating in the festival’s Dine Around events. Merci’s wine dinner will introduce guests to chef-owner Michael Zentner’s dining room, “more dinner party than restaurant.” Zero George preps a special Regiis Ova caviar tasting menu, along with a communal courtyard dinner with California winemaker Cathy Corison. Bintü Atelier will serve up two Sunday seatings of its African-inspired Xuly Bet brunch. And The Grocery’s “Hands That Feed Us” dinner will give local producers a chance to show off the bounty of the Lowcountry and how it’s been used in chef Kevin Johnson’s kitchen for years. Check online for all the Resy participants in the Dine Around events and the full Food & Wine Classic schedule.
- Gobble Gobble: Not cooking for Turkey Day at home this year? Resy’s got you covered, with a slew of Charleston restaurants serving up Thanksgiving feasts. A few options: Brunch and dinner at Hotel Bennett, Middleton Place, The Dewberry, Mills House Hotel’s Iron Rose, Élevé, The Select, Charleston Place, and more. Be sure to check Resy Events for the latest updates.
- Two Nights Only: Hotel Bennett’s Gabrielle welcomes two separate guest chef dinners in November, with chef and TV personality Tyler Florence sending a “Love Letter to Charleston” on Nov. 15, serving dishes from his Miller & Lux steakhouse in San Francisco. Tickets, available only on Resy, promise a four-course dinner, wine pairings, and a signed cookbook. One night earlier, on Nov. 14, chef Osei Blackett serves up “Oxtails & Cocktails.” If the name doesn’t already hook you, prepare yourself for five courses drawing from his Trinidad and Tobago, complete with wine and cocktail pairings.
- Holiday Happenings: The end of November means that holiday events are gearing up, and it’s not too soon to plan ahead. If you’ve got little ones, you’re going to want to make sure you grab a Resy for Tea with Santa and Holiday Tea (no Santa!) at Hotel Bennett’s Camelias, with petite sandwiches, sweets, and tea. And definitely grab a spot for the Nutcracker Tea at the Charleston Place’s Thoroughbred Club, with sweet and savory treats for kids and adults and even a mini performance with a meet and greet from the Dance Conservatory of Charleston.
