Charleston: Fire!

The reason for the season. Well, one reason for the trip. We met up with our friends Kathleen and Brad. They coasted in right in time for our dinner reservation at COAST.


I've been craving oysters since New Bern, so that plus a little bubbly... I was in Charleston heaven. ... Until our bread basket caught on fire (that was a first!). It got a little too close to the candle. In any event, I love this restaurant to no end. We hit up a couple of bars by night: The Rooftop Bar at Vendue Inn and Wet Willie's (wall of frozen drinks). Where I would not recommend is The Kickin' Chicken for late night bites... Yikes! Everything was 50 shades of bad - including the band. When they finished one song, one band member looked at the other and said, dude, what song was that? Exactly. Next time I'm thinking end the night at Mynt with late night at Juanita Greenberg's (Mexican until 2 a.m.). Memorable night!
