I don’t know about you, but 2020 has made me one tired mama. That’s why, this year, I’m taking full advantage of the amazing food scene here in Charleston and ordering out.
From classic meals to gourmet sides to BBQ-smoked turkeys, the Holy City has something for everyone. Get ready to turn off that mom guilt, kick your heels up, and enjoy a glass of wine. You deserve it, mama!
