By now you've probably heard all about last …

By now you've probably heard all about last week's JBF Award nominee announcement in Charleston, South Carolina. But the excitement didn't stop there: after the reading of the names, we headed over to the historic Fort Moultrie for a Friends of James Beard Benefit, which was hosted by our partners at the Charleston Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, Patrick Properties, and the BB&T Charleston Wine & Food Festival. Sean Brock, Mike Lata, Robert Stehling, Craig Deihl, and other local powerhouses collaborated on a multi-course menu that paid tribute to Lowcountry cuisine. You can see more photos from this lovely event here.
