During their Eastern European escapades, Randall will be addressing students at the University of Dubrovnik on the subject of historic renovation and [...]

Picture it: my better half and I are eating cupcakes outside in front of 444 King Street during our lunch hour as Executive Chef Nico Romo walks by (actually, limps by, because he’s on one crutch due to his still injured knee) and TOTALLY CATCHES US STUFFING OUR FACES. Stone cold busted. I had no [...]

Well, Internet, it was a rather wacky and wonderful weekend. Started off with some much-needed adult beverages with several PP staffers at an undisclosed Upper King Street watering hole on Friday evening. Saturday, I hit the Charleston Farmer’s Market (heavy Spoletian traffic) with all of its delicious goodness. Mmmm, crepes. Saturday evening, I met [...]

I think I have spoken before about the wholesome goodness of Fish Manager and Mixologist, Evan Powell. I have, in fact, nicknamed him “Cherub,” due to his generous nature (and his ruddy, fair-haired complexion.) He arrived at the PP headquarters office this morning with three of his homemade iced coffees, made especially for my [...]

Part of the proceeds of the event went to local grower Rita Bachmann of Rita’s Roots. The event was so successful that Rita is now able to purchase a refrigerated truck in [...]

In all the hub bub of the photo shoot, I believe I forgot to mention Cisco. That’s him there, pulling the fancy carriage. Cisco is 18 years old (horses live well into their 30s) and is about as sweet as he can be. He held very still for all of his close ups with [...]

So, today we hosted our first CHEC luncheon at Lowndes Grove. CHEC, The Charleston Hoteliers Exchange Club, is a networking, non-profit for the hospitality industry. Everyone got a great tour of the newly opened River House. According to some inside sources, there were a number of “ooohs” and “aaahhs” overheard. Bear in mind, this part [...]
