When in doubt, half-priced wine.

When you read headlines like: Stocks tumble as bailout plan fails in House, it’s understandable you might feel a wee bit twitchy. Add to that the totally unremarkable (in my humble opinion) Presidential debate on Friday, and you could feel downright downtrodden. However, I will say that I did see Burn After Reading this [...]

Elise Testone and Matt Chase rock my world. Sat at the bar last night and just thoroughly enjoyed myself and chilled out to an electic mix including “Fly Me To Moon,” “Crazy,” and “Virtual Insanity.” Seriously amazing. You need to make Thursdays at Fish a regular thing. That’s all I’m saying. Oh, and Elise [...]

Met with photographer Brennan Wesley late yesterday about some upcoming projects. Then, friends from Blue Ion and luxury shoe and handbag designer Mary Norton met at Fish for cocktails to celebrate the launch of the new Mary Norton e-commerce site. Be sure to check out the Dream Tree and the Book of Mary, and of [...]

Doesn’t that title sound like electives available during your senior of college? Anyway, went to hear poet Thomas Lux read the other night at Ashley Hall. If you’ve never been to a poetry reading, you should go, mostly because it’s never what you have it in your mind to be. I say that after attending [...]

We’re putting the final touches on the new Grand Ballroom at The American Theater, and may I say, it is, in a word, glamorous. I will put out there that I am a fan of Art Deco style. Check out Miami’s Raleigh Hotel, especially the pool. You just want to put on a floral bathing [...]

That’s Nico (and his nice gams) dressed in the kilt he wore when he accompanied me to the Skirt! magazine party last night. Might I say, I found out who the real men were last night, because there were a number of men in attendance who did not wear skirts. (They are now dead [...]

Found this gem on Flickr. That’s the Obama cake, made with loving hands by the friendly Dems at Bleeding Heart Bakery in Chicago. What’s even cooler is that up until the election,$2 of the sale of very Obama cake will be doanted to the Obama/Biden 08 campaign. I love grassroots campaigning. You recall how I [...]

Had a late brainstorming meeting over Sapporos with pals from Blue Ion last night. So much fun to actually sit down at Fish’s purple heart wood and watch people come and go. Last night was also the triumphant return of The Charlton Singleton Trio, so it was a big night all around. I’ve talked with [...]

Elise Testone & Matt Chase: This Thursday at Fish

17. September 2008

I first heard Elise Testone at Lowcountry Local First’s Chef Feast, by far the best and most relaxed Charleston fundraising/food get togethers I’ve attended. A fantastic group of chefs, local growers, restaurateurs, owners, foodies of all kinds gathered at Middleton Place for a near perfect afternoon. As I sat down with plates of local [...]

It wasn’t infidelity; it was the crème brûlée.

Perhaps the best/funniest comment we’ve received about Fish thus far. “My boyfriend is leaving me for Susie’s s’more. I’m leaving him for the crème brûlée.” If that isn’t a ringing endorsement for dessert, I just don’t know what is. On Friday, our invite-only moo shu lunch launch was just a big hunk of fun, happy, full [...]
