My Favorite Bridge Run After Parties

Most people focus on the running part of the Bridge Run, but I am all about the eating and drinking afterwards (shocker)! This will be my 6th year doing the Bridge Run and I use it as my yearly fitness test to make sure I can still do it. When I first ran it, I was still in running shape from cross country/track in high school, so every year it gets more difficult. Luckily for me, the support that Charleston gives to the bridge runners is enough to get me to do it every year. Hundreds of volunteers pass out water, businesses open earlier than normal, and the whole city is just one big celebration!

Behind the Scenes at Rusty Bull Brewing

Walking into the industrial-grade brewery that is Rusty Bull Brewing, you would never expect that the business got its start in a garage about 11 years ago. Co-owners Ben & Brian have a passion for creating a range of craft beers for every kind of beer drinker. Whether it’s a classic Belgian Ale or a Captain Crunch-inspired beer, they have something for everyone. I was lucky enough to get a tour of the facilities while sippin’ on some delicious brews, so I’ll share some tidbits that I learned along the way with you.

Charleston Chefs Tackle The Blended Burger Project

When it comes to burgers, everyone has their favorite toppings. My go-to toppings are sauteed mushrooms & onions and a dollop of spicy mustard. I’ve always thought of mushrooms as just a topping for burgers, but I’ve never thought of mixing them in with the meat itself until now. The James Beard Foundation’s Blended Burger Project challenges chefs to create burgers where 25% of the meat mixture is replaced with mushrooms. Before you go panicking about your precious meat being taken away, let me assure you that there is no loss in the taste or texture of these burgers. Not only that, but they are healthier and more sustainable to boot.

Charleston Wine + Food Festival 2018 Recap

For those of you who don’t know, the Charleston Wine + Food festival is 5 days of heaven for foodies and pretty much everyone else. My experience at the Charleston Wine + Food festival was completely unique because I had a different role each day. I worked as an intern for the Culinary Talent team, took photos at 3 events, and attended as a guest on Sunday. Every role I had was as exciting as it was challenging. I learned a lot and ate a lot over these 5 days, so come along with me as I recap it.

Everything You Missed at Revelry Brewing’s Tres Años Block Party

This past Sunday I attended Revelry’s Tres Años Block Party, which was a celebration of their three year anniversary. This party combined all my favorite things: tacos, beer, and eating/drinking for a good cause. The ticket proceeds from this event benefited the Green Heart Project, which is a nonprofit that utilizes gardens as outdoor classrooms for schools in the Charleston area.  I spent the day eating, drinking, dancing, and freaking out over the amount of cute dogs in attendance.

My Week in Review: 8/25

It’s been a busy week filled with my favorite activity: eating! I was trying to choose one event to post about this week, but I decided I should just include them all. This week has definitely been the busiest foodie week for me (4 dinners out in one week) and I don’t mind being busy if food is the time occupier. Keep reading to follow my adventures this week!

Grand Opening of MidiCi Mount Pleasant: Free Margheritas for Everyone

This past week/weekend, I had the opportunity to attend a Yelp Event at MidiCi Mount Pleasant and then subsequently their grand opening. MidiCi is not your average pizza place. When you walk in, you are greeted with the ambiance of a high end restaurant. There is mood lighting, a live tree, plenty of seating, and bathrooms that basically look like a spa. To match the high end ambiance, they also have high quality food.

Opening of 1Kept Charleston: I Met Andrew Zimmern Y’all

Last Thursday, I was sitting at my house, getting ready to down some $1 beer at the RiverDogs game, when I received an invite to an exclusive foodie event from the Queen of the Food Age herself, Sydney Gallimore (follow her insta, she posts awesome pics). The event was the opening of the new restaurant in the Renaissance Hotel, 1 Kept. Sydney opened with the fact that it was hosted by Andrew Zimmern, so I said screw the RiverDogs and I basically ran over there.
