re: Charleston, SC Restaurants

Yes Hank's is still kicking and doing well.

For breakfast might want to try Hominy Grill. A little off the beaten path of the downtown restaurants and not a greasy spoon type of place but very good none the less.

Another good restaurant is FIG. The chef is a rising star in the culinary scene and is said will be the next James Beard award winner.

Peninsula Grill is very good. A buddy of mine is a chef there and he is very good. Bobby Flay recently did a throw down with the head chef there for his coconut cake.

A personal favorite of mine is Boulevard Diner in Mt. Pleasant just across the bridge. Moe's Downtown is a good place to grab a drink as well as the Griffon. Both Rooftop bars are good and a scene and be scene place.

For the most part as long as you stay away from Hyman's Seafood, anything called Crab Shack or House, and Bubba Gumps.

All the rage right now is Firefly Sweet Tea vodka. Very popular and you will probably see cases upon cases at the USC game. I recommend trying it. We took some to the Auburn game and were pretty popular with it.

Any other questions about Charleston let me know. Been here 7+ years.
