In honor of the BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival, the Charleston City Paper put together a list of the ten iconic foods of Charleston (SC), along with the places to find them at their best. It's too late for the festival, but it's, of course, not too late to sample these Charleston edibles.
Among the Iconic Ten: shrimp and grits, as found at the Hominy Grill (see the photo above, from the Roadfood.com review); she crab soup from 82 Queen (see the Roadfood.com review); fried chicken from Martha Lou's Kitchen (see the Roadfood.com review); okra soup from Bertha's Kitchen (see the Roadfood.com review); roasted oysters from Bowens Island (see the Roadfood.com review); and a coddled egg from FIG (see the Roadfood.com review). Check out the story for the other four Charleston specialties.
