We recently asked you to dish on the restaurants and chefs in Charleston that deserve more recognition — and you didn’t disappoint. The nominations are in... Drum roll, please. Here are the local foodie picks we’re pinning medals on.

Fratellos Italian Tavern | This cozy spot in Park Circle offers American Italian comfort food. The house-made marinara is a chef’s kiss.

The Establishment | This cool spot downtown serves up classic southern dishes, seafood, and delicious drinks.

Hank’s | An anonymous reader says, “Hank’s has a solid, reasonably priced menu, everything is delicious, and the service is impeccable. I think us locals take it for granted.”

Honorable mentions:

Thank you to all who sent in their faves.
