Welcome to Charleston Food Talk!

There's not much more I need to do in terms of describing this site that hasn't already been done in the title; this is a place for foodies from all over to talk about anything they've found around Charleston that tantilizes their tastebuds or sours their stomachs. My background is mainly in cheese, so I'd love to answer any questions or start any discussions pertaining cheese and it's elaborate history. I also write for two barrier island newspapers, the Island Eye News and the Island Connection, and will be posting reviews on hidden restaurant finds, new restaurant openings and food pictures whenever I get a chance. If you hear of a new restaurant or have visited one that left you full and happy, let us know! Respectively, if you try a new beer (thank goodness for Pop the Cap!), wine, whisky or any tasty beverage, feel free to share your thoughts. Thanks and welcome to Charleston Food Talk!

Hello Ms Whiz,

As a frequent visitor, I'm often asked by friends and family here in Atlanta where the native Charlestonians dine. Regrettably,I can only speak as a glorified tourist.

Perhaps, then, you might offer some insight by posting a review or two of this genre; ostensibly far from the Madding Crowd of Bay Street.

Permit me also to mention that as official city glossies are generally distrusted, your down-home, personalized style is deeply appreciated.

Lastly, please offer the curio such as myself an explanation of your photo. For example, was the Prussian helmet of the picture worn by your great-great-great grand father during the 1870 War with France?

Ciao, Bill

Re: Blog Entry :: Go'Diva Sisters :: Trusted Palate

It would seem as if Ian is more about preening than teaching...

Now for a second thought: The Go'Diva Sisters are really a pen name for Kristin amd Holly on a fictive rampage; and this piece is a biting satire on how not to write criticism.

That you were edified by the sexiness of the owner? That you "approve" of the decoer and the attractiveness of the employees? This, ladies, is too funny!

I have often admitted in print that both of you--being the better writers--have often served as my muses and inspiration to a more insightful prose.
Yet now you have upped the ante with a viciously delicious parody that leaves me to grovel in the dust. All angels are terrifying, indeed.
