Husk

Charleston


The creation of acclaimed chef Sean Brock, Husk is one of the South's most buzzed-about restaurants, which can be a disadvantage. How can the food possibly compete with the hype? (The fried chicken skins definitely don't.) Every ingredient is grown or raised in the South and the offerings change daily. The setting, in a two-story mansion, is elegant but unfussy.
