A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

When we got in to Charleston, we dropped our bags at the hotel and ran over to Butcher & Bee for lunch before they closed (they’re open 11am-3pm daily). They have a cute little patio area outside, but you’d be crazy to melt out there when you can sit in the cool a/c inside! UberX was about $6.

Their menu changes daily, so you have to check their Facebook page to see what they are serving!

I love the decor inside, from the reclaimed wood counter to the chalkboard art menu.

There’s a long communal table down the center of the restaurant with a few smaller tables around the outskirts. The chairs are mismatched, making the place a little quirkily and charming.

There are so many delicious sounding items on the menu it is hard to choose just one thing. I go for the burger ($12) with mushrooms and gruyere. The bun is perfect – it is lightly toasted and it holds its own until the very last bite. The beef just tastes fresh and I love the mushroom and gruyere combination. I love that they didn’t skimp on the cheese – that’s a huge pet peeve of mine. They have a contest and if you Instagram your burger with the hashtag #Burgerfordays you are entered for a chance to win a free burger!!

The bbq grilled squash sandwich was a delicious surprise. Often I find dishes that are meatless are a bit bland, but this one rocked my world. Zucchini, peach compote, arugula, pickled cabbage and mustard tahini ($9). The flavors were bold but really complimented each other, I never would have dreamed up this combination. In fact, I’m still dreaming about this sandwich!
