Gov. Henry McMaster recently announced the 2025 South Carolina Chef Ambassadors, and Chef Shuai Wang, behind North Charleston’s Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ, is among the three chefs selected.
The Chef Ambassadors program highlights SC’s culinary traditions, agricultural heritage, and hidden gems through food festivals and other events. Ambassadors also support local farmers by utilizing Certified SC produce, meats, dairy, and seafood.
“This opportunity is a great way for me to showcase just how easy it is to support your local farmers and fishermen, and that any cuisine is able to utilize what is locally grown seasonally,” Chef Wang said in a press release. “Certain farmers I’ve been buying from since my wife and I’s first business back in 2015, they’ve become family. That’s one of my favorite parts about living in Charleston, it’s a community.”
