Charleston Foodies Unite!
A good friend noted when I announced I was moving to Charleston that it was going to be great living in a town with a five-star restaurant on every corner. And the friend was from Asheville! While that may be an exaggeration, certainly outstanding food abounds all across the Charleston region.
One of my favorite tasks when meeting new clients or tourists in town is to share with them the many different restaurants and food styles in this city. Italian, no problem -- do you want romantic, bustling, or just economical and quick. Seafood, no problem -- do you want fried, broiled, locally fresh, or just something casual with a great view. French, no problem -- and here is a hint, my favorite happens to be on Broad Street. And of course, I would be remiss if I left out regional, southern cuisines, the type of flavors I came to love from my Grandmother's kitchen garden.

My roots in the Lowcountry run deep. My parents met and married in Beaufort, SC, and though I’ve traveled the world and lived in many places, Charleston is where I’ve chosen to call home. Moving back to the Lowcountry to be near family reminded me just how special this place is. I became a Realtor in 2019, and I’m proud to be part of the Nat Wallen Real Estate Team at eXp Realty, LLC.
