I highly recommend this tour. It was my first time (and day) in Charleston and it was a wonderful way to get to know the city's history, architecture, and cuisine. Can't wait to make the Shrimp and Grits myself!

Chef Forrest creates a memorable day where you can learn about the history of Charleston, and get to experience cooking and low country cuisine and wine, all in the same day. What made it even more wonderful was the fact that it’s a small group experience that is a lot of fun and personable with an incredible chef. Thanks Chef for sharing your love of Charleston and Food with us!

A Culinary History Tour of Charleston

Chef Forrest was a wealth of information regarding the culinary food and connections to Charleston, but also from all over the world so he could relate to our own experiences with food from where we’re from, Louisiana, as well as other places. He accommodated our allergies as well - the food was excellent, as were the wine parings. Also, precautions for COVID were adhered to. We’re glad we did the tour with Chef Forrest! Thanks!

What an absolute fabulous time we had. There is so much to unwrap here. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone but it’s safe to say you will leave satisfied and content. The combination of history and food make for a wonderful time. I live in Charleston and still learned a lot. Got this for my girlfriends birthday. She loved it. We are still a little stunned at what is provided during the span of the tour. An absolute bargain for the cost of the tour. Thoroughly enjoyed and the other couples clearly did as well. Felt like royalty and extremely relaxing.

The Walk... The Food... The Entire Experience!

Where to begin? A guide with a great sense of humor and wealth of Charleston knowledge... and he can cook, too! The walk was really enjoyable. He even took pictures of each couple / group traveling together, printed the pictures, and gave us each a personal photo magnet! Then the food. Oh my goodness. Every course was absolutely delicious. Seriously, the best shrimp and grits I have ever had. Oh and the wine pairing! Fabulous wines! Everything was delicious. Forrest was willing to answer each and every question with patience and clearly he enjoyed imparting his information be it on the city of Charleston, cooking, ingredients, appliances, you name it! Down to earth and fun. I would highly recommend this tour!
