About
- Shop and explore the unique and charming Cannonborough neighborhood. Meet your tour guide at The Veggie Bin (96 Spring Street), our favorite neighborhood market for all things seasonal & local. Here you'll select your first ingredient of the day while you peruse the freshest produce our local farms have to offer.
- Continue on to Daniela's Downtown, a charming neighborhood cornerstore and deli, where you'll meet the chef and make your second ingredient selection.
- While the chef prepares the day's findings, we'll explore the historic Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood on a walking tour with your city-certified guide, and stop in to a local bakeshop for one last selection.
- After working up an appetite, reunite with your chef for a one-of-a-kind feast prepared from your Market selections.
TIP: This is a great way to eat like a local while supporting multiple small businesses, explore off-the-beaten-path, meet a top-rated Charleston Chef (or two), and experience the superb creativity and bounty that has come to define Charleston cuisine!
