During the Charleston Wine + Food Festival, six fantastic local Gullah Cooks paired up with nationally known chefs to cook a meal together - what a fete! Guests went from station to station sampling their food in a tent that was decorated based on the works of Jonathan Green. Burlap this bright is hard to find, but we did and it made a difference.

Today, restaurants and caterers are learning about this cuisine and making it available to our guests. From Chefs like Marvin Woods to BJ Dennis to Charlotte Jenkins, the beauty of incorporating this food together with a lecture about the cuisine, perhaps some spirits and a little added entertainment makes for an epic party.
