10 Years of South Carolina Chef Ambassadors
At Indigenous Underground in Abbeville, Chef Erica McCier amplifies Southern flavors. With an emphasis on South Carolina ingredients, she fuses influences to create flavor punches in dishes like chicken wings dressed in Buffalo sauce and Creole seasoning, or smoked gouda agnolotti with roasted corn and poblano sauce.
Chef Rob Masone
Chef Rob Masone roots the experience at Kounter in Rock Hill in farm-to-table philosophy and local history. Reserve a seat at the lunch counter where Civil Rights Movement activists famously staged a sit-in, and savor Vermilion snapper tacos or Alderwood-smoked salmon with forest mushroom cream.
Chef Marcus Shell
Step into 19th-century Paris inside Charleston’s 39 Rue de Jean, where Chef Marcus Shell transforms his favorite local ingredients into brasserie-style delights. Enjoy a multitude of textures in the King Tide kale salad with microgreens, or go for the crispy pork belly, complemented by savory roasted tomato jam and spicy peach honey.
