"A multi-event weekend celebrating the Midlands' growing culinary scene, featuring more than a dozen events including a kickoff dinner at Black Rooster with Denver chef Paul Reilly and a Gullah dinner with SC Chef Ambassador Chris Williams, foodways expert Amethyst Ganaway, and chef instructor Kevin Mitchell; the weekend culminates in a Grand Tasting on Sunday that showcases over 100 of the city’s top restaurants, breweries, and mixologists." - Erin Perkins
