TGICHSWFF! Were you lucky enough to snag passes to the Charleston Wine + Food Festival’s Culinary Village in Marion Square this weekend? If so, we know you may be feeling a little overwhelmed – in the best way, of course – by all the bites to bite, sips to sip, demos to watch, + vendors to explore.
We hope you get the chance to see, taste + experience it all. Be especially on the lookout, though, for the opportunity to get a sneak preview of three new restaurants opening in Charleston later this year. Here are the details:
Frannie & The Fox | Wood-fired Italian dishes, + shareable plates | Opening in May at the future Emeline hotel (181 Church St.) | Executive Chef Tim Morton will participate in the Charleston Night Bazaar Friday night, and at the Culinary Village on Saturday.
The Loyal | Brasserie ft. dishes from the New York location as well as Southern-influenced dishes | Opening this fall at 465 Meeting St. (the ground floor of the Greystar building) | Michelin-starred Chef John Fraser + his team will be slinging samples of veggie-forward dishes at the Culinary Village Friday.
Bumpa’s | Elevated Irish bar + restaurant | Opening at 5 Cumberland St. this spring | Tasting at the Culinary Village on Sunday at 12:30 p.m.
