This is such an amazing experience! Mike is a fantastic host. You get to visit the Fireproof Building & Museum after hours and look around before you go upstairs for dinner. Dinner was delicious. Mike talks you through South Carolina and Charleston history in a really interesting way (I'm not from Charleston or South Carolina and felt like I could follow everything he was saying). My favorite part of what he shared was the culinary history!! Sharing where these recipes came from, why they're seasoned this way, why these ingredients were popular, how this meal would have been served, chefs in the area, etc. I've never heard history told from that perspective and it was absolutely fascinating. I left wanting to learn more!
Mike does these dinners often and is always changing the meal so I would definitely rebook this experience every time I'm in Charleston to try new historic food and learn more!
