Let’s talk about an egg-cellent experience

We first told you about Chef Daniel Humm x The Charleston Place in September. ICYMI, this is a year-long pop-up restaurant — in the hotel’s former Charleston Grill space — led by Chef Daniel Humm of the three-Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park.

Newsletter Editor Callie here — consider this your sign to snag a reservation. I recently had the chance to dine at the pop-up and am here to report back on these can’t-miss bites.
Carrot tartare: This was such a fun, interactive course. It starts with the server hand-grinding the carrots table-side and scooping a generous portion onto your tray. You then get to pick and choose which accompaniments you want to mix in before piling it high on a cracker crisp.
Milk and honey: Delicious, and one of my favorite bites of the meal. The dessert was reminiscent of an ice-cold glass of milk (but in ice cream form) and of sweet, crunchy, graham cracker-like cookies.
Did you see it? The sky was dazzling with pink and purples last night after a strong solar flare turned into a severe geomagnetic storm. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center says severe storm levels were reached at 8:20 p.m. Take a look at some pictures sent to News 2 from across the Lowcountry.

She’s taken it a step further with her nonprofit, Bloomhaven Foundation, teaching floral design classes each week to children in the community. (WCIV)
We don’t make the rules — cooler weather calls for more nights cozied up on the couch. “Army Wives ” was just named the best television series set in SC, so it’s the perfect excuse to hit play (again). Bonus: Elevate your night in with takeout from a new local restaurant. (Screen Rant)
