Discover the Flavorful Side of the Holy City

What do you get when you boil up some water in a large pot, throw in some shrimp, corn on the cob, kielbasa, red potatoes and that distinctive blend of spices called Old Bay Seasoning? Some might call it a seafood boil…but down Charleston way, the locals affectionately refer to their version of this classic mélange of seafood, sausage and other fresh ingredients as Frogmore Stew. Hearing other names like Hoppin' John, Limpin' Susan, Shrimp and Grits, and Seafood Muddle simply means you've found yourself smack dab in the middle of Lowcountry USA. Your epicurean escape to Charleston will include luxurious accommodations in the heart of Historic Charleston, a Foodie Tour introducing you to restaurants and shops known for their uniquely regional fare, as well as a full participation cooking class that will satisfy your inner chef.
