This place is the birthplace of the southern culinarian! Many years ago my interst in culinary arts began here! I've decide to tell you all a little about this place to give you all somewhat of a better understanding about who the "southern culinarian" is! So let's get going!
The particular areas I'm speaking on are located from charleston on up to myrtle beach. I have worked in many restaurants along this coast, and therefore I am very familiar with the local favorite eats!!
From chicken perlo, to gumbo, to shrimp and grits are just a few to name! 
I have taken in many different values working here! One of which being pride! If you don't take pride in everything that you cook here, Trust you will know about it! Lol! Everyone takes pride in there food here! It's kinda like having bragging rights, not only in a functioning kitchens but amongst friends and family as well! There are numerous cook offs from winter to summer times! 
Being this close to the ocean provides us with so many different varieties of seafood it's crazy! You have the santee area, which in my opinion have some of the best oysters I've ever put in my mouth! Then if you continue north you come into Pawleys island where you will find crab traps and fishing boats out on the water daily! Something about that saltwater smell that traps people out in the ocean for hours at a time! Ahhhhh!! I'm getting homesick just thinking about it! lol!
The low country is a very homey place! A place of appreciation, pride, and lots of southern hospitality! I have taken these things with me everywhere I've lived, and quiet frankly it's opened doors that skill alone won't! Some of the best chefs in the world have come from these areas! 
Those that know me, know for the most part that I'm pretty easy going and hard working! These are all things that I've picked up from working in the low country!
With all this being said, I hope some of you who haven't visited there get a chance to very soon!
