Taste of Charleston, 2008

The Greater Charleston Restaurant Association proudly announces the "Taste of Charleston" at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, SC. The grounds at beautiful Boone Hall Plantation will be transformed into a sea of culinary delights featuring 50 of Charleston and the Lowcountry's finest restaurants. As in years past proceeds from the "Taste" will benefit Ronald McDonald House, Hollings Cancer Center and Charleston County Science Materials Resource Center. The Taste of Charleston is supported by the Town of Mt. Pleasant.

In addition to the wonderful culinary delights the "Taste" will feature the famous "Waiters Wine Race" sponsored by Electronic Merchant Systems, beer and wine tasting, our special Children's Corner and Cooking Demonstrations by some of Charleston's finest chefs including Enzo Steffenelli from Sea Island Grill at Wild Dunes, Craig Diehl from Cypress and others. The main stage will come alive with the East Coast Party Band.

"The "Taste" allows Association Members on behalf of the restaurant industry to give back to the community through our many charities and worthwhile causes," says David Miller, 2008 GCRA President and owner of the Kickin' Chicken. To date the Greater Charleston Restaurant Association has donated more than $1,000,000 to local charities.

Advance tickets for the "Taste of Charleston" will be available at all Charleston area Applebee's Restaurants and through the Association Office. Food tickets will be sold in $1.00 increments at the event. Souvenir Taste" t-shirts will also be available for purchase.
