Episode 236: Sorelle with Chef Nick Dugan

Sorelle is perhaps one of the most difficult reservations to score in the city. Boasting multiple dining rooms and two different concepts, this jaw-dropping spot by the Michael Mina Group is truly unlike any other restaurant in Charleston. On today’s show I sit down with Chef Nick Dugan to hear about the 7 year long process of renovating historic 88 Broad street and what the reception has been like so far.

Episode 228: “NOMA is Nomo?” with Special Guest Robert Pratt

I decide to phone a friend to sort out my feelings on some recent food headlines, including but not limited to René Redzepi announcing Noma’s imminent closure in 2024, AI in restaurants in Charleston and Trader Joe’s lack of food. Robert and I both worked at Noma for free, coincidentally, and we weigh in on what the announcement means for the food world.
