A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

Everyone I know who has been to Charleston said that we HAD to go to Husk. Located in an old house from the late 19th centuty, Husk is run by James Beard Award winning chef Sean Brock of McCrady’s.

The decor inside is simple and chic. We headed there for lunch on day 2 of our trip.

I love the chalkboard that tells you where all the ingredients come from!

The restaurant has its own garden and they try and grow as much produce as they can for the dishes that they create.

The bread comes from Butcher & Bee, where we had lunch eh day before. If you want to pick up some of your own bread, they are at the Farmer’s Market over in Mount Pleasant on Tuesdays.

Of course I had to try the burger that came with a side of potato wedges.

The cheeseburger ($11) was delicious, thin double stacked patties smothered in cheese and the bun held up very nicely. I was full but it wasn’t heavy at all.

We also had the shrimp and Edisto grits ($16) that our waiter said were the best in town. The dish came with N’Duja and tomato emulsion, charred peppers and herb chimichurri with KY bacon. I’m not a huge grits fan, but these were delicious. A perfect texture and it didn’t leave you with a heavy feeling in your stomach like some other grits can.

For dessert we had the cheesecake ($7), how beautiful is this presentation? It was light, had a graham cracker crust and was served with some delicious blueberries. Our meal was excellent from top to bottom, I would highly recommend Husk to anyone traveling to Charleston. The service was top notch as well, our waiter was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable.
