I'm sitting on the 6th floor balcony of my hotel in Charleston SC and am watching 6 different firework displays. WOW

Happy 4th !!! My entire Lemons team lives in Charleston.One of the souths greatest cities!! Lou's son owns an Italian restaraunt there called Bacco,that has won many awards.The best Italian food I have ever tasted.

[NJFIAT1981]

Bummer. Walked by that several times. Family did not want to eat italian. Had some really good meals. Amen Street Grill was a good one. Had some shrimp and gritts at the Hominy Grill. Great meal at Nicks Pit on King Street. Ate at TOAST on Meeting street and several other places. Great trip with lots of historic tours. Love to go there again. Just a little hot

Charleston is a lot better in the fall.Too bad re. Bacco,the food is really tremendous. Gotta love the shrimp n grits!!

Shrimp and grits? Surely you mean polenta con gamberi...

[NJFIAT1981]

Menu said shrimp and grits. Didn't question the waiter. I also had Fried Green Tomatoes, Low Country Purloo and corn bread. Really liked the Purloo.

What the hell is Purloo?

[NJFIAT1981]

It's a rice casserole dish that contains sausage, ham, boiled shrimp and chicken wings. As Andy Taylor used to say "That's good eatin"

[NJFIAT1981]

Hey RROLLER,
Next time I'm up in Boston I'll take you to the Paramont on Charles Street for Breakfast. Great place to eat.

[RRoller123]

Man that Purloo sounds good to me! Anything with both sausage and ham has to be good. Don't know the Paramont on Charles but we will check it out for sure!
