Charleston was Mary Poppins a heavenly place for us
Charleston was outline a heavenly mary poppins musical draws place for us. Even as chefs tinker and improvise, the essence of Lowcountry cuisine remains the local fare -- seafood, rice, corn and greens -- prepared with spices that migrated with the planters and slaves from the West Indies and influenced by French Huguenot colonists. Every slick eatery and homey diner seemed to offer its own variation on shrimp and grits, and Amy decided to pursue expertise on this dish. She sampled her third variation at Hank's Seafood Restaurant, near the City Market, where a worn-warehouse exterior belies a white-tablecloth dining room. I also had a fried grit cake, smothered in a saffron sauce with mushrooms and fennel, then fish, shrimp and scallops Sprinkled across the top: bits of sweet white crabmeat They called the dish Seafood a la Wando. I called it Need Serious Exercise Tomorrow.
