Overview

Discover southern hospitality on our Charleston Brunch Food Tour in the vibrant Upper King Street district! Starting near the historic William Aiken House, we kick off the morning with a buttery, handmade Hot Little Biscuit.

As we stroll toward Marion Square, we dive into the soul of Lowcountry cooking with crunchy Fried Green Tomatoes. Walking through the Mazyck-Boragard neighborhood, we'll savor a sweet and savory Croffle with Fried Chicken and local honey. We also indulge in creamy Shrimp & Grits and Pimento Cheese, the 'Caviar of the South.'

Before ending near the Aiken-Rhett House Museum, we reveal our incredible Secret Dish—a warm, nostalgic delicacy with a unique local twist!
