Make your plans now to attend the 9th Annual Taste of Coastal Carolina ~ Tuesday, March 13, 2012 ~
Taste of Coastal Carolinais an annual event where the community comes together to celebrate the best flavors of our local restaurants. Why go to one restaurant when you can go to over 20 in one night? This year’s event features signature dishes from several new restaurants: Rebecca’s Gourmet Café, Antonio’s, the Wild Cupcake, Jenn & Sami’s Bella Cucina and Le Bistro and the Art Gallery. In addition, enjoy amazing dishes from last year’s winners; Chef Gerry Fong of Persimmons Restaurant, Chef Tom Pristash of Christoph’s on the Water, Lisa Hawkins of Sea Glass Café and Chef Smoke Boyd of The Flame.
