On our Secret Food Tour: Charleston - Upper King St. Brunch, you'll discover a thriving, contemporary community of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops located just north of the Historic District.  Our experienced guides will take you on a brunch-fueled journey down Charleston's second-most historically and architecturally significant street, one so important that it was named after the King of England! Along the way, you'll indulge in savory and decadent brunch creations that help showcase the kind of culinary innovation that shapes modern Southern cuisine. 

And don't even get us started on all of the gorgeous historic homes hiding behind every corner! Upper King isn't just any old street, it's a vibe, and it's one best served with baked goods and drinks!   We begin on the north end of Upper King Street, once the main route into colonial Charles Towne and named in honor of King Charles II of England. Start your journey with a sweet-and-savory Southern classic, a surprise bite designed to set the tone for the delicious experience ahead. 

Our second stop is a truly Southern staple! You’ll taste the crispy, tangy flavor of fried green tomatoes,  followed by shrimp and grits and pimento cheese, served hot and full of regional flair.  Enjoy this trio of Lowcountry favorites at a local tavern frequented by the cast of Bravo’s Southern Charm. Drink Upgrade: Pair it with a bold Bloody Mary, a true brunch icon. Paying homage to Charleston’s confectionery traditions, let’s try a Pecan Cluster made specially to enhance this journey and the sweet tooth's guests.   

Now it's time to cool down with a refreshing Southern Sweet Tea, a beloved regional drink,  as you meander past the gorgeous homes and towering cathedrals that line nearby streets named after some of our historic residents. 

Are you still hungry? We hope so! Next, indulge in one of Oprah’s Favorite Things: the cult-favorite hot little biscuit that has become a Charleston legend. End your tour on a sweet note with Pecan cluster.
