Charleston is the eating capital of South Carolina; indeed, it is one of the eating capitals of the East Coast, with a distinctive repertoire that offers flavors of the Deep South — humble and fancy — as well as a memorable taste of the ocean. Some dishes that should be eaten are emblematic of the city in particular and the South Carolina coast in general: Huguenot torte, she-crab soup, hoppin’ John, okra soup, shrimp & grits, and the all-you-can-eat oyster roast. Of course, there are many fine and/or fashionable dining opportunities — we like 82 Queen for swank, Leon’s Poultry and Oyster Shop for urban hip, and The Macintosh for such New American treats as a PBLT (pork belly added) and bone marrow bread pudding. The city’s soul food restaurants are a whole separate eating world, featuring such local favorites as pig tails and neckbones larded into lima bean supper, turkey prioleau (pilau), and sweet potato pie.
