Is FIG on there? They don't usually participate, but go anyway. Get the pate if you like that sort of thing. Buttah.

I like the Tosh better than Cypress. I am JEALOUS. I love RW. I want to hear about evry detail! When is your trip?

You are going to have a great time. I wish I could be there to show you around!

I will also highly recommend Carter's Kitchen in Mt Pleasant. Robert Carter was the chef at Peninsula forever, and I haven't been there since he left. That coconut cake is his recipe. So if you feel like getting out of the HD, (which you probably won't lol) go there. And/ or Old Village Post House. OK, I am quitting now. It's making me homesick : D

We really enjoyed Poogan's Porch and II Cortile Del Re.

Excellent choices. Make sure you have reservations. sNOB will be busy at lunch, so go a little early.

The Maverick group (owns SNOB, High Cotton, OVPH) also has a nice cooking store close to SNOB. Get a copy of "Charleston Receipts" as a souvenir.

Sue's idea of the cookbook is super--there are two now. I LOVE the original, and may have a first running copy. "MY" scalloped oysters for holidays is from it--favorite of all that partake!!

If you have any more room, I'd add

Basil Thai
Rue de Jean
Muse

All listed in the restaurant week groupings. In fact all of your selections are excellent.

Have fun in this amazing city.

I don't think Deb will mind me jumping in. I am not going RW. What do you think of Circa 1886 and Charleston Grill?

Trip is 15 meals.
Lunch will be more spontaneous except for SNOB.
Don't ask....
