Chefs Sarah Simmons and Aaron Hoskins Launch All-Day Cafe in Columbia, South Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"I associate the duo with Birds & Bubbles, their Soho fried chicken and champagne bar, which closed abruptly after back-to-back flooding; Manhattan circles were startled by the quick close and Simmons's exit from the island, but extensive water damage at the subterranean restaurant signaled to the married chefs that it was time to head home. They planned to reopen Birds & Bubbles in South Carolina and expand offerings to include pastry under an umbrella of community-focused sourcing and employment, and the idea of a Vista cafe quickly grew as a forerunner to Birds & Bubbles opening later in 2019." - Stephanie Burnette
