After 14 Years, Famed Fat Hen Retires to Make Way for New Johns Island Minero - Eater Carolinas
"This morning, Neighborhood Dining Group (NDG), of Husk and Husk Barbecue in Greenville, South Carolina, announced that it would bring back its Mexican concept Minero to the former Fat Hen address at 3140 Maybank Highway. The downtown location of Minero shuttered in April 2020. Minero started under chef Sean Brock and became known for its Southern-meets-Mexican fare, like Valentina-soaked wings, fried catfish tacos, and benne seed salsa. Brock later left the NDG group to pursue new opportunities in Nashville. The Johns Island location of Minero was already planned last year, but NDG halted it because of the pandemic. In a press release, NDG President David Howard says, “We’re excited to resume plans for this improved location in an even bigger and better way than we had originally thought. We can’t wait to serve the community on Johns Island and bring Minero back to the Charleston area.” NGD plans to open the Johns Island Minero later this summer." - Erin Perkins
