Distinction Usually Reserved for San Francisco and New Orleans
The history and culture of South Carolina’s Lowcountry was shaped over the last 300 years by planters, slaves, free people of color, yeoman farmers and their families.  Through war and peace, great prosperity, and abject poverty, their lives and folkways are woven into the rich tapestry of the American South.

Charleston, South Carolina, rich in cultural diversity, is home to the uniquely Southern, Lowcountry Cuisine.  Many of the original recipes -- or receipts -- include dishes influenced by African, French, Caribbean and Anglo-Saxon tastes.  The table set in Charleston, has in its own way, the distinction reserved for culinary destinations like San Francisco and New Orleans. 

Executive Chef Brad Jones.  “We put a lot of time and effort into each dish to make it unique,” says Executive Chef Brad Jones.  He credits the authenticity of 82 Queen's Lowcountry Cuisine to its home-grown ingredients.  "We use a lot of local herbs and vegetables, when they’re in season … like okra, tomatoes, sweet corn, peppers, and mushrooms to showcase our prime cuts of beef and fresh seafood.  Our shrimp, crab, grouper, flounder, snapper and black fish are so fresh… they were probably swimming in  local waters a day or two before being served at our tables.
