Best of Charleston 2013

March 6, 2013

So, the Charleston City Paper’s annual “Best of Charleston” is out today! I’m so excited! Obviously the only section I care about is the Best Charleston Food section (especially since I wasn’t voted “Best Local Blog” … way to drop the ball, guys). In honor of this, I’m going to do my own “Best of Charleston: Eating and Drinking Out.” Here it is!
