Tupelo Honey in Asheville is wonderful. Owl Bakery makes great bread.

>>9128556
Why are you visiting those shitholes?

>>9128576
Where would you suggest I go, anon?

>>9128556
Charleston here.

Smokey oak for BBQ, high cotton or hominy grill for brunch, early bird or berry patch for cheap diner breakfast, poogans porch for expensive downtown dinner, bowens island for a fish camp with an incredible view (get there early), tattooed moose for sandwiches and if you find your self on folly swing by berts, its one of the coolest stores ive ever been in. As far as savannah, my brother wont shut up about the crab shack on tybee but i've never been.

>>9128576
You must be from cali or ny.

>>9128602
Well you must be going through those gowns for a reason?
Nobody who lives in Montreal says to themselves on a whim "Perhaps I'll visit Savannah!"

>>9128607
thanks, anon. Tattooed moose was actually already on my list. I'll look into these other joints.

>>9128612
That's literally what I did. People with disposable income visit new places from time to time.

>>9128628
go the one on johns island if you can, its bigger and more parking than the down town.

>>9128556
Shrimp and grits in South Carolina

>>9128572
Tupelo Honey looks fantastic.

>>9128556
You absolutely have to go to tne Irondale Cafe in Irondale Alabama as well as The Whistle Stop Cafe in Juliette Georgia.

>>9128665
Irondale is a little out of the way but I've yet to purchase my flight home and am considering extending the trip for a few days. Currently, my last stop is Savannah. If I were to extend it, where else would you suggest I go?

>>9128612
civil war autists

If you're going to Savannah and have some money, visit The Grey, used to be a greyhound bus station and it's really good

>>9128764
Definitely on the list. Have you been to
Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room?

Asheville fag here. One word: Breweries. Burial Beer Co. is the best in the city, but we also have Green Man, Sierra Nevada, and Highland brewing. Explore as many as you can.

>>9128785
if meme beers were any good they would be bought up by big companies and massed produced

>>9128770
No but another good place down on the River is Huey's actually pretty good Cajun, would recommend

>>9128791
You mean like Wicked Weed?

>>9128791
Except that's actually happening, faggot. The reason I didn't mention Wicked Weed is because I don't want to advertise for AB Inbev trash.

>>9128854
I'm so missed that I have to stop drinking WW, I can't support that damn company.

>>9128556

In Asheville don't go to Tupelo Honey whatever you do. If you want hot chicken go to rockys hot chicken shack.

I lived in Charleston for several years, places I'd recommend for: Seafood: The Ordinary or Hanks, Bowen's Island for Oysters but it's not the right month so RIP, Brunch: Hall's, if the music annoys you just ask to sit upstairs, people love Husk for ~~~contemporary~~~ Southern, also Magnolias, High Cotton, Poogans Porch. For negroid food there's Martha Lou's and some place on Upper King that I can't remember, really good Italian place called Lucca, and good Spanish place called Barsa, Rue de Jean is a decent Frog bistro.

Tourist traps are Hominy Grill (decent but not worth a wait) Tattooed Moose (hipster, but same deal) and fucking kill yourself before you go to Hyman's or something like Bubba Gump.

>>9128655
>>9128572

No

One of my best friends is a server there, it's garbage.

>>9128864
I'm more pissed about the Funkatorium, honestly. I always liked that it's right down the street from Burial. Fuck.

>>9128556
Husk in Charleston, if you can get a reservation. Sean Brock is a fucking genius.
Avoid Hyman's or any of the tourist seafood places. Hominy Grill is pretty good. Poogan's Porch has THE southern coastal breakfast on lockdown. It you have time, head out to Scott's BBQ in Hemingway. Arguably the best whole hog BBQ in the country.

>>9128864
what is wrong with the company?

OP again. Is there anything worth checking out on the drive from Asheville to Charleston or from Charleston to Savannah?

>>9129283
Asheville to Charleston. Down town Greenville has a nice park downtown. The Trappe Door has amazing moules frites and a gagillion obscure Belgian beers. The Beacon in Spartanburg is a greasy chili-cheeseburger goddamn national icon, if you're into that kind of thing. Try boiled peanuts if you see a guy on the road selling them.

i live in savannah. Go to Carey Hilliards for good pork bbq and Brunswick stew. If youre just gonna stay downtown, theres a ton of good touristy places on Riverstreet.

>>9128612
what are you so upset about? jesus. fuck off already.

>>9129429
If BBQ is your jam, I'll repeat that Scott's is well worth the detour. Plenty of "reputable chefs" put it high (Bourdain is a big fan) on their lists.

>>9128917

>Sean Brock is a fucking genius.

*puts loads of butter and lard in everything*

>>9129482
Sure. And sources local ingredients, preserves heirloom grains along with Anson Mills, and grows quite a bit of his own produce. Without being a pretentious douchebag. Butter and lard are still awesome.

>>9129531

desu I don't dislike Husk, I just didn't see how it justified being proclaimed the best new restaurant in america and this ridiculous amount of praise.

>>9128674
Different anon but how about my 0house?

>>9129429
Lunch at The Beacon sounds perfect.

>>9130907
Where's that?

>>9128556
Ottawafag here. If you're interested in trying regional fast food chains I'd check out Bojangles'. The Cajun filet biscuit is god tier.

Since you'll be in Charleston I recommend finding a place that serves flounder. I can't seem to find it up here. Also, order a side of hushpuppies.

>>9133283
Bojangles is so popular with out of towners. It's weird. I live in nc and I don't even think it's special till I'm out of state for a month with no Cajun filet. Lol.

Used to be master cook at awful house ama

>>9133316
Why are your grits so hit or miss? They are never the same consistency!

Best diner chain in the world, but not for the food. It's the culture. Waffle House is so hardcore, FEMA has an unofficial "Waffle House Index" for the severity of natural disasters. If Waffle House is closed, shit is capital-f Fucked.

Get breakfast food. Eggs any style, bacon, sausage, ham, pork chops, whatever, and always get the hash browns dolled up however you want (onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, jalapenos, cheese, gravy, chili, whatever.

If you want to go southern breakfast style, get biscuits and gravy. The standard breakfast is two eggs any style, a protein, hashbrowns, choice of biscuits or toast, and coffee.

>>9128556
In Charleston, there's a restaurant called Probibition. It's worth going to. Tasting menu isn't exactly filling, but everything tastes amazing

>>9128556
Cookout, feed yourself like a king for under 10 bucks

>>9133433
I second this

>>9133433
>Cookout, feed yourself literal shit and still pay a corporation 10 bucks

No fucking thanx. Worst milkshakes in America too. All around bad, bad, bad.

>>9133311
When I was in Charlotte I had to convince my friend (from SC) to let me try Bojangles. Something about the branding really spoke to me, plus I'd never tried a biscuit before. I don't know why he was so apprehensive, it was way better than Chick fil A or Zaxby's.

I also tried to convince him to take me to Waffle House but he refused.

>>9133515
Edgy as fuck. Shit taste as fuck

>>9133311
>>9133855
Also Publix is based, I ordered a four piece of fried chicken from the hot meals section and it almost took me a week to finish it

>>9128612
Who hurt you? Why do you respond to someone asking for your thoughts with such hate?

>>9133515
>that filename
>that post
wow

>>9129429
>>9129283
I went to college in Greenville. The Trappe Door is great, there's also a place right across the park called Chickora Alley that is quick relatively cheap and delicious. If you want to spend a bit more The Lazy Goat is lovely Mediterranean, get one of the paellas. All within walking distance of Falls Park

Eat at Waffle House every night. You have to eat like an american to get the full experience

Highly recommend this breakfast / brunch spot in Asheville called over easy cafe

>>9128791
literally what happened to wicked weed in Asheville you ignorant fuck

>>9128607
I'm from NY, I love these places.
